I picked up my first Because Bacon order today. I expected a yummy treat or two, I did not expect…read moreto be blown out my kitchen door. I started with the brown sugar bacon, as I am making a breakfast casserole for Christmas morning and thought it would be perfect in it. I am sure it would have been perfect except for the fact I could NOT stop eating it as I cooked it up. It cooked up brilliantly - crispy and meaty, and came out of the pan the same size it went in. Since I had eaten a fair amount of it I decided to also cook up the bourbon bacon. Every bit as tasty. I have never had bacon like this before. But wait - there's more! I also bought two gift baskets as gifts for other people with bacon flavors such as thai and garlic and sushi (yep - sushi). But part of the basket I bought for Christmas for our family was a tin of snickerdoodles made with Apple Cinnamon bacon. I don't think I have ever had a better cookie. So, if you like bacon, you simply have to give Because Bacon a chance to WOW you. We are going to be sending gifts and enjoying it for years to come - I just know it!

I don't remember how I learned about this business, but I'm glad I did…read more My boyfriend and I are huge fans of bacon so I decided to get him some artisan bacon for Valentine's Day (I know, romantic, right?). I picked out a five flavor 1/2 lb sampler of Caramel Bourbon, Smoky Bear, Honey Chipotle, Garlic and Sriracha, and Maple and Brown Sugar. Let me tell you, it was the worst present ever because I kept eating it as I was cooking it for him! Each flavor was unique and tasted exactly like the name. It was all fresh and delicious. I could actually smell the bourbon when I opened the Caramel Bourbon package. The house smelled wonderful after each preparation. There are only two things that could be improved here. One was we got some rather fatty portions of bacon. I try to avoid eating fat, but my boyfriend said the fat absorbed a lot of the flavoring which he found delicious. For me that meant my dog got 50% of my bacon slices... not cool! The second thing is that they need to invest in packaging. Presentation is a huge part of the culinary experience. While bacon tends to speak for itself in a lot of situations I was taken aback by their super basic packaging. I suggest a quick trip to FedEx Kinkos to get some stickers printed up with their logo, slap one on the package and problem solved. As far as the business side is concerned there was a quick turn around from order to product delivery and the proprietor was friendly, responsive and flexible with delivery. All in all, I will be ordering from her again.

I have been going to Dream Dinners for about a year and a half. My mom bought me a Groupon and…read morethey hooked me with the Dream Rewards program. The rewards program gives you a various % off each month but the trick is that you have to go every month to keep the rewards going, so apparently it works since here I am over a year later and still doing it. Dream Dinners makes eating at home so easy. They have about 15 different meal options each month that you choose from in 3 or 6 serving sizes (minimum 36 servings). The ingredients and instructions for each meal are set up for you and you put them together according to the dummy proof directions and then you put everything in one big ziploc bag and stick it in your freezer and then pull it out the night or two before you want to eat it and cook it according to the printed cooking instructions they give you. The food options are really good, there are repeats a few times a year but there is really good variety and there have only been a couple of meals that I wasn't thrilled with. They also have sides (veggies, bread, dessert, etc) that you can buy. It takes about an hour to prepare all your meals and the meals average about $5/serviing which is pretty good compared to going out or having to grocery shop and figure out what you want to make. This has really changed my family's life I think my husband and I have forgotten how to actually cook because Dream Dinner's takes all the thought out of it.

Dream Dinners has a great variety to choose from, but my pet peeve is it is not really a "dinner"…read morefor the price advertised but most of the time a main course to which you have the options to buy items to make up a dinner. To buy three chicken breasts for $12.00 with a little marinade and then add a cup of rice, noodles or potato just makes sense to me. Add 50 cents to the price and make it a meal and I'll add a can vegetable. You know how much rice I can buy for $3.00 at the market, which is the average entre cost. They said the reason they don't always have an added entre is to keep the costs down. NO, it's to make a larges profit on those item. One cup of rice goes a long way and the cost is pennies.

They have a great deli, fresh deli sandwiches, deli counter, fresh baked bread, wine, frozen food, sauces or all kinds, a variety of olive oil and so much more. They also have fresh baked cookies and desserts! It's warm, friendly and simple. I enjoyed the Italian music playing in the background as well. They have a senior citizen discount which is good to know. Discounts are always nice! They have been a community staple for most of my life and it sure does have a hometown feel. The other location is big and snazzy, this one is much more condensed. It was a quick in and out visit and that was really nice. I picked up some house made pizza dough, fresh pepperonis, Cantoro's own Alfredo sauce, and freshly grated mozzarella. They have some nicely priced clearance items that got my interest as well. This location is a true local gem and I hope it continues to thrive!

The service was quick and efficient and although the place wasn't packed because we came early, it started to fill up by the time we were ready to leave. Mind you, this was a Tuesday. I highly recommend making reservations in advance. You do have want to miss out on this treat.

I have consistently come here to get food throughout the years and it has been so rewarding to continue to see Yum Village be such a pillar in the city and in the food industry! The service here is incredible, you don't bus anything yourself. I also noticed that the staff that day was all women, from everyone front of house to the chefs in the back as well preparing the food, which was extra fun! They are so attentive to us and even when there was a snaffoo with on of my party's orders. They paid with cash and I think perhaps that messed up the tracking of the order through the system? I'm not entirely sure. As for the food, Yum Village has maintained some of the same dishes throughout the years, while also adding and/or rotating a ton of other dishes through the menu. I can definitely confirm that the garlic parm jerk chicken remains my favorite and that the spice level, while still plentiful and intense, has eased up a bit in recent years. Either that or that I have become more spice heat-tolerant! Either way, the portions also remain huge, so there was a ton of food to take home! I love the truffle collard greens, the deeply unique and flavorful corncakes, and also the star of the show this go around was the deliciously complex fried cheesy fufu! It oozes so much flavor and is the perfect addition to any meal and very shareable as well! Keep up the great work, Yum Village!!

Everything was DELICIOUS! A kind of spicy that slowly builds too, which I found really pleasant. I also tried bites off some of friends' orders, like a bit of cornbread, the fried cheesy fufu, the garlic parm chicken. Everything was so good. Huge portions! Even the smallest size option was enough food to have leftovers for at least another big meal. They have bigger size options too for the extra hungry. Only bumping it down a star because they had some trouble with one of my friends' order. I guess it didn't go through to the kitchen, but one of the ladies noticed and asked my friend for her receipt so they could get her food going. However, seemed like they then lost that too because it wasn't until after two of us got our food and had been munching for a bit that they realized no one had started on our friend's order. Came out fast after that. Easily 5 stars without the ordering hiccup!

The class not only taught you how to make the delicious food, it also went into content on the technique of cooking which I found to be interesting. My only knock was the fact that our food's timing was off so the pork was cold by the time we were able to sit down. This was partially due to class timing and partially due to the way that the class was set up in "teams." My team was very focused on how to do the recipe "by the book" (aka no variance from the demo) which took us longer to get through than that of the recipe cards that were handed out. It was still delicious and an actual recipe I'll recreate in my own kitchen - so 5 stars!
