Over Christmas break, my friend Shawna shared a family tradition where she makes Philly…read moreCheesesteaks on Christmas Eve. I really loved the idea and figured it would be a fun change of pace as this year has been such a crazy one anyways! One of the most important and valuable questions that I asked her in follow up was, "where do you get your shaved steak from?" The answer leads me here to Bogner's. What a cool find in Manchester. There were so many people picking up holiday orders when I walked in and I know why now. Because they are awesome! Not one, not two, but three people helped me with my purchases and finding the 10 pounds of shaved steak that i needed for a really great price at that. I walked out of there with all sorts of fun things too- like onion rings, french fries, chicken tenders, pickles, sauces---they have so many things you might need and again- all for great prices! What a find! Everyone was as friendly as can be and the end result- the cooked Philly Cheesesteaks--so delicious! I will certainly keep this tradition going not only for Christmas, but also for other friend and family gatherings in the future. It's just really fun and we can all use a little more fun in our lives, right?! Cheers and Happy New Year! Can't wait to visit Bogner's again! Definitely check them out!

4.50 stars. As the name states, Avon Prime Meats is a purveyor of USDA prime and a few other…read moreselections, but you cannot go wrong with any of the prime cuts (and frankly, based on what I have seen at this point, the other cuts are just fine as well). So far, I've had prime NY Strips, ribeyes, picanha (top sirloin cap) and Porterhouse steaks here and all were absolutely divine. They even may have a few cuts that don't make it on the shelf but you can ask for them and they might make your day even better. This store has quite a bit more than an impressive array of butcher cuts. You'll find all sorts of meat and seafood swimming in a number of different marinades. They have deli meats, and you'll probably prefer them here to anywhere else in Avon (and really anywhere in Hartford and its surrounding cities). Are you looking for some fancy tri-colored pasta? They got that. Natalie's Juice? It's here. Elk and venison? Maybe some other exotic cuts? They got quite a few in here. They even have a decent beer selection. And I haven't even started talking about all of their prepared food which is far better than what you'll find in most high end grocery stores. In any event, along with the Fresh Market chain's Avon location, you can pretty much source all of your non-basic wants and needs at these two shops.

I know it's Avon, but prices here are outrageous. I was looking at the ground venison & elk,…read moreneither one had prices listed (on the product itself or anywhere around the fridge). So the counter person took them back up to the register to check the prices, they were in the $23 & $24 range for 14 ounces. That's double the price I pay for ground venison and ground elk at the Litchfield Locker, the prices there are $11.99/lb (venison) & 10.99/lb (elk) respectively. So, needless to say, I just wasn't interested in being fleeced, no thanks. I won't be returning.

Going to Ted's is always a nice experience. There was a little bit of a wait (we didn't have a…read morereservation) on a Friday night, but not bad. Inside, you feel as if you were in a restaurant in New York of Boston, not EvergreenWalk in South Windsor. Tile floors, nice booths with wood dividers, tablecloths. A little more upscale but not pretentious at all. A small bowl of half sour pickles to start is given to everyone. Our server was nice & took our order along with drink order - they were busy so we did have a short wait. I got an espresso martini - very good. Steak salad for my meal (that's my go to at Ted's). The right amount of steak for me. My husband had a bison burger. Really good & very lean. He got the 50-50 : half fries & half onion rings. We got dessert to go. Apple crisp with pecans & vanilla ice cream. Our server packaged it up with directions on how to heat up. We had it the next night at home - so good. Plenty of parking at Evergreen. Always a nice meal

Would definitely recommend if you're looking to try a bison burger or one of their other various bison menu options.

World Market is such a beautiful store. It has so much nostalgia for me, because here I can find…read moresome delicious German treats that I'd have as a kid that I'd never know still exist if it weren't for World Market. There are isles of international cookies, chocolate and other goods. There's also beautiful furniture, pillows and kitchen items. I personally wouldn't invest in a couch from World Market because it's typically very expensive, and you can find similar items at other retailers. But they have unique accent chairs and small attractive furniture items. My favorite thing to get here, in addition to the chocolate, are the Christmas ornaments. They are so, so beautiful, and so unique. There is so much detail in each one. Now that it's after Christmas, they are all 50% off, making each one around $2.50 - $4.00. If you have a World Market in your area, I'd encourage you go and check them out. While some items are more expensive, the unique items, hard to find items and the nostalgic items are what it's worth stopping for.

We kicked things off with cocktails--of course, I couldn't have Korean food without my Jinro Soju LOL. I really love the iPads on the tables; they made ordering super easy. After I submitted my cart, the food was on the table in just a few minutes. The banchans were fresh, and of course, the kimchi--if you've ever lived in Korea, you can tell by just looking at it. I think I dined for over two hours. If I hadn't stopped eating, my guts would have been all over the walls from an exploding stomach. If this place were any closer, I'd dine here at least three times a week. Thank you, Hungry Pot, for the lovely experience.

It's all you can eat so don't expect 5 star service all the time. If you don't know the workers, they don't care about you. I notice that. Crab legs you have to order with the iPad now and crawfish is still unlimited and good. However I never know which beef slice I'm getting. Even if I order ribeye the second order doesn't look the same or taste the same. They mix ribeye and brisket all the time and I hate that. I use to rave about this place but only come when you crave it. Service has gone downhill

The kitchen they had previously was some warming trays kept off to the side. Good food but very much a quick bite place. They just expanded their food options though, so decided to give them a proper review. The display and kitchen are pretty nice looking. Their selection is limited but they have all the staples. I get their korma platter, two katis, a couple samosas and a samosa chaat. It took them a little while to assemble everything. They are new and haven't figured out how to handle rushes yet. I bought my food, took it home for pics, then dug in. Flavor-wise, it was okay. The fish Kati was good. Lots of fresh veggies and the fish was properly cooked. Good amount of sauce and a grilled pita. The chicken in the Kati and the korma were a little dry, but seasoned well. The rice was lightly seasoned and the salad was fresh. Not bad as a bite, but lacking punch. The samosa chaat was missing spice. Too heavy on the tomato sauce, needed more spice. The veggie samosas were really good though. When ringing me up, they messed up on the register and overcharged me a dollar. Even with that mess up, it still was relatively cheap. For everything, was about 30 bucks for everything. They also forgot to pack sauces that I asked for, but once again they are new. As a grocery store, it's good prices and fresh products. As a street food locale, it's good for quick bites but there are growing pains. Go in with an open mind and patience, and you'll get some good cheap eats.

The small order, said to feed 6-7, fed 4 people with no leftovers, because everyone went back for seconds and gobbled it up, even the person who said it was too spicy. Also got some Chicken Seeikh kabob - very spicy, with a fabulous green sauce on the side. The whole order was delivered hot at exactly the time ordered (we showed up a bit early, had to come back), and the aroma in the car driving home was maddening - all we could do not to stop and dig into it by the side of the road. Didn't think to get rice, although they do not offer sides of plain rice anyhow. Will be looking forward to the next order, the larger size for sure, maybe try Tikka Masala.

Overall, this is decent "northern Q", I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. Thomas' Smokey Pit Stop BBQ is a solid 4 Star rating, IMO, and that's coming from a guy who consumed a lot of Q in northern Alabama when he lived down there.
