Throughout this year, my path has crossed several times with the delightful Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies food truck, and each encounter has been nothing short of a culinary delight. The standout feature of these cookies is their exceptional balance in taste and texture. Let's talk flavors. The S'mores, Oatmeal Raisin Walnut, and Chocolate Chip varieties are my personal favorites. Each bite transports you to a world of exquisite tastes, where the classic flavors are elevated to gourmet levels. The S'mores cookies are a campfire dream, the Oatmeal Raisin Walnut offers a delightful nutty twist, and the Chocolate Chip is a timeless classic perfected. The sweetness of these cookies is masterfully balanced. They're just sweet enough to tantalize your taste buds without overwhelming them. The texture is a marvel in itself - perfectly soft yet maintaining a firmness that leaves you satisfied. They're thick and dense, offering a divine, almost indulgent mouthfeel. But perhaps what sets Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies apart is their uniqueness. There's a certain je ne sais quoi about these cookies that you can't find anywhere else. They've managed to take a familiar comfort food and turn it into a gourmet experience that's both novel and deeply satisfying. If you're looking for a cookie experience that transcends the ordinary, Moon Rocks Gourmet Cookies & Gift Baskets is where your search ends. Their cookies are not just treats; they're a gourmet adventure for the senses.

I'm not a food critic, so I do my best not to set expectations when I'm checking out a new place. I didn’t know what to expect when going, but I was not disappointed! Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at The Corner Pug, a restaurant that serves American and Irish traditional pub grub in a relaxing atmosphere. The walls are covered in whimsical pictures of pugs, which is honestly freakin’ adorable.. We tried a variety of things during our visit, including the house bread (hey bring this to you when you first get there. I love when restaurants do this!), irish nachos, shepherds pie, pulled pork mac and cheese, and carrot cake. The House bread was very soft inside with a harder crunchy outside, was served with butter. The Irish Nachos were one of my favorite dishes. The crispy wavy kettle chips were smothered in Beef & Sausage Chili, hot cherry peppers, jack-cheddar cheese, scallions, Pico di Gallo, and a side of sour cream. The flavors worked really well together and the dish wasn't too spicy. The shepherds pie was very tasty, but it needed some salting. However, it was still good after I salted it myself. The pulled pork mac and cheese was another highlight of the meal. The super creamy mac and cheese was topped with sweet pulled pork and crispy onion straws, making for a delicious combination. Finally the carrot cake, with three layers of amazingly moist cake with a classic cream cheese frosting. It was loaded with shredded carrots and raisins, and had a caramel sauce drizzle on top. While it was heavy on the spices and quite sweet, it was still a very tasty dessert. Overall, I enjoyed the food at The Corner Pug. While the shepherds pie could have used more salt, the flavors of the other dishes were on point. The presentation of the dishes was also nice. The only issue we had was that the fried onions on the Pulled Pork mac and cheese were originally missed by the kitchen staff, but our server noticed and amended the situation. The service was amazing, with our server being very attentive and taking good care of us. It's always a plus when the staff is friendly and helpful! I would definitely recommend The Corner Pug to others. The atmosphere was great, with pictures of pugs covering the walls, and the food was delicious overall. I'm already planning on going back to try their bar coffees, which I didn't get a chance to try during my first visit. Overall, my experience at The Corner Pug was awesome, and I would rate it 4.5/5 stars.
Our recent business interaction with Paul Petrillo was, regrettably, less than satisfactory. At BISTRO BUDDY, we strive to foster positive, collaborative relationships with event organizers and vendors, aiming to enhance community events and provide valuable marketing opportunities. Our encounter with Mr. Petrillo, however, did not align with these values. Initially, we proposed a partnership to promote Petrillo's Fairs and Festivals through a complimentary promotional video. This gesture was intended as an olive branch and a means to break the ice, hoping to open doors to future collaborations that benefit our shared audience and the event community. As discussions progressed, an opportunity for sponsorship arose. We extended an offer to Mr. Petrillo to collaborate on this sponsorship, hoping to further our partnership and contribute to the success of his events. Unfortunately, the dynamics of our interaction shifted significantly following this development. Despite agreeing to a meeting to discuss the collaboration, the tone and direction of our engagement took a turn that we found to be unprofessional. The initial spirit of mutual benefit and community support was overshadowed by a focus on immediate personal gain. Our commitment to supporting the event community and providing value through our platform is unwavering. However, the encounter with Mr. Petrillo highlighted a divergent set of values. After careful consideration, we decided not to proceed with the promotional video, especially considering the personal sacrifices it would have required from our team. This decision does not come lightly. We are passionate about the event community and remain committed to promoting positive interactions and opportunities within it. Our experience with Petrillo's Fairs and Festivals serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning with partners who share our values of collaboration, respect, and community support. We sincerely hope this review serves as constructive feedback and encourages a reflection on the importance of professional conduct in business interactions. At BISTRO BUDDY, we will continue to advocate for the interests of our community and work towards fostering a positive environment for all involved.
