Just Call Me Sash: The Edit

I hail from the beautiful country of Guyana located in South America. One of the things I remember most about my home country is the food. In addition to how blended the culture is. The country is often described as being like a melting pot and this includes the food. Afro and Indi' Guyanese make up most of the population. This has a huge influence on the food that is cooked, hence my love of Indian food. But I honestly have a love of all food honestly.  One of the spots I enjoy having Indian food from is Manjal. Similarly to other places I've gone to, the food is delicious and the prices are decent.  I would recommend trying the lunch special that they have available. You get to have a taste of various stews and sauces. Either way, you'll always have a takeaway plate to go. I do believe the establishment has two locations.  Don't forget to support the local restaurants in your neighborhood. With Love, #Justcallmesash 

  Panera, baby, who is on the product development team? Cause you're definitely COOKING.  I know this is a play on the chopped salad sandwich. I nust say, you are doing it right. This is the "Cesar Salad Stuffer". I ate and was upset that my sandwich was finished. It's definitely giving greedy, but whose judging?! It also looks as though they add updated options also. Most recently, the "Harvest Meledy". At least at the time I'm posting this. Similar to other menu options, you can customize your order. Adding in a protein or adding a note for what you don't want. The point is, check out Panera, cause they're COOKING. Literally and figuratively speaking. With Love, #Justcallmesash 

If you're looking for food that is hearty/healthy, I got you! I have a few local food spots that I will frequent. When it comes to breakfast or brunch, "Graze Brunch Kitchen" is it. There is always a new item on the menu to try out. The ingredients are super fresh and everything is always tasty.  There is something for the coffee lovers too. Not certain if is seasonal, but their tirramasu latte was highly rated by hubby.  The restuarant itself is super cozy. It'sa smaller space, but they've utilized every sqt ft. It does not feel overcrowded in any way. Due to the large windows all around, the natural light makes it feel homey. If that's a word that I can use. My recommendation is getting there early or wait for the morning rush to settle. Even if you end up in a que, the wait is totally worth it.  I recommend the pancakes. I'm not sure if it's seasonal, but it has a hint of everything. That is the best way for me to describe it. Oh and lots of fluff! ...

 Never thought that I would say "Holy" and "Burger" in the same sentence. I absolutely LOVED this burger spot as it's halal. There are options for you if you prefer your meals to be cooked a certain way.  This burger spot is not your typical fast food spot. You can somewhat custom create your burger with convenient check out. As you can place your order via a Kiosk. They also have deals that you are able to get. The portion size is also JUST right.  If you're looking for another option besides the regular fast food joints, this is definitely a good one. A great substitute option that may turn into a regular go-to for you. Check it out and let me know your thoughts AND what you got. With Love, #Justcallmesash 

My birthday month is SLOWLY LOADINGGGG. Usually, I don't really celebrate my birthday. For years, I can recall something always happening. The plans never fully planning and being unable to have my birthday celebration the way I want it. Be it getting sick, having to cancel plans, or guests flaking. When I celebrated my birthday in 2025, I found the PERFECT location.  "The View" restuarant exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by the ambiance and mostly the VIEW. Pun intended. Prior to our meal attending, I literally looked out the window for most of the time. Distracted by the breath taking views and what I was looking at. In addition to the views, literally, the food was even better. My favorite item for the night was their chocolate cake. Delicious and packed with flavor is an understatement. I would go back JUST to have this. I 10/10 would RECOMMEND, because my goodness.  I would say that the menu is a bit pricey, but so worth it. A great place for date night or ...

  Who doesn't like to have desserts before a good meal? I'll raise my hands first and just wait for you to participate.  A spot that I really enjoyed getting cookies from was "Cookie Connect". I loved the fact that the portion size was just what you need. The flavor options also had variety. I loved the fruity pebbles cookie. It literally reminded me of a bowl of cereal, but in the best way possible. Most of the cookies are soft baked and packed with flavor! I've gone to the store and have gotten my cookies delivered. Each time, the cookies were JUST as GOOD. When I say no complaints, I mean absolutely none.  10/10 recommend if you're looking for a quick treat.  With Love, #Justcallmesash 

Joe's pizza in New York has lines wrapped around the block. Well, not around the block really. More like across the borough; *in own laughter*.  All jokes aside, the pizza was worth  waiting. Glad to have swung by, get it? Okay, but it was giving the big ol' slice feel. With lots of cheese-eeeee goodness. The price point is also pretty decent.  There isn't really much of a seating area. So be preparedto stay standing for a bit. Standing up and eating added to my experience though. Got to look on the bright side of things. It adds so much flavor to the food. This spot is a freat grab and go after your New York adventures.    With Love, #Justcallmesash 

The really dope thing about Seasons 52 is their menu options. You have the ability to select seasonal dishes throughout the year. The Fall menu is a banger, stop playing.  While you have your regular staples, there's always something new to try. I LOVE their "Avocado Toast" down! This is a great option for breakfast, but for #brunch also.     Another heavy hitter is their "Flatbreads". It's shareable with different options to pick from. Almost like a #pizza, but better. Kindah sort of. Not really, but you know what I mean.  If you are a meat eater, there are soooooooo many different options for you. The "Shrimp & Grits" is another show stopper. Because who told them to put their foot in this dish? It's a 10/10 recommend 👌🏾. You definitely would not and cannot be disappointed with this dish. Or anything item on the menu at that. Check them out and let me know what you ordered. With Love, #Justcallmesash   

Zero Proof Cocktails, yes please.  For all of the non-alcoholic drinkers out there, there are drinks for you. Not just one or two, but multiple items. Another reason to take a trip for a quick meal. It's perfect for solo dates, grabbing a quick lunch and having a family day out.  Not to mention the food, next level. If you're looking for ambiance, it's a pink girls world. At least if you have a good appreciation for the color pink.  I so appreciate that the menu options are inclusive. There is something to pick from for everyone. Sweet, savory and all of that. Shakes, lattes and juices. Did I mention that the food is FRESH?! You can literally taste the freshness of their ingredients. With Love, #Justcallmesash
