Yards Brewery & Guerrilla Ultima food truck aka Saturday

HIS and HERs took their friend Lauren to Yards Brewery on Saturday to meet up with friends.  HIS and HERs have loved Yards for many years and their brewery on weekends IS the place TO BE. You can do a tour of the brewery or just enjoy the beer and food at a table.  They have some of the BEST EVENTS in Philly and know how to throw a party. Oh and their beer is phenomenal too..

the YUM!	HIS	HERs	Lauren
Bourbon Tavern Spruce	Light flavor and very enjoyable..	Enjoyed the unique flavors this beer offers. Dark, cloudy, amber color, crisp flavor. Bourbon wasn’t overpowering. Vanilla undertones, slight spice notes.. Very drinkable!	Cloudy coffee color… strong taste of pine and outdoors.. not a fan..
Love Stout	“One of my favorite beers, creamy smooth.. Roasty malt flavor. I love it!”	Smooth, slightly creamy but not overly creamy like a milk stout. Dark, not too sweet chocolatey. Not heavy.	Dark Guinness like color look.. super smooth… subdued rich flavor… sublet hint of cocoa and coffee.. love it
Trubbel de Yards	“This is a little bitter. Not my type of beer. Wasn’t so hoppy, harsher flavor for me”	9.3% ABV Belgian Strong Dark Ale Dark, not too heavy, strong after taste that lingers. Medium bitterness, good spice- not overpowering, crisp.. Toffee flavors are heavier than chocolate. Well balanced.	Dark brown semi cloudy…  rich coffee flavor…  smooth

Guerrilla Ultima- Food Truck Menu

the YUM!	HIS	HERs	Lauren
Guerrilla Ultima Menu	I kept thinking they are great gourmet burgers with an old rustic feel.	Holy hell.. did they say Chipotle Cream Cheese Slaw?!?!	You mean the piece of paper on the table? (she was focused on her beer) It scares me………

The Guerrilla Burger
Hickory smoke pork burger, chipotle cream cheese guerrilla slaw, heat-seeking mustard

the YUM!	HIS	HERs	Lauren
Table Cell	The pork burger was cooked perfect. Very moist. The chipotle cream cheese had a rich deep spicy flavor. The cabbage lent a beautiful crispness to the smoothness of the cheese.	The flavors were all very bold and mixed fantastically. Surprising to the palate and made me want more. The creamy, spicy slaw brought it all together. The burger itself was seasoned slightly, not overdone. The meat flavors were able to come out and marry with the rest. LOVED IT! gimme another bite….. and a scooping of the slaw on the side… or in my mouth!	delicious, just the right amount of spice

The Original Pastrami Burger
Beware of imitators, smoked beef pastrami spiced burger, baby swiss cheese, fresh kraut, marble rye, specialized sauce

the YUM!	HIS	HERs	Lauren
Table Cell	This is not a burger with pastrami on top. This IS a pastrami burger. All of the characteristics of a hot pastrami sandwich, with the great texture of a burger. This is a 4 out of 5 star for me. And lets not forget 2 pieces of marbled rye bread. Hello! Heaven..	Holy pastrami! Gotta love pastrami to enjoy this, and i DO! Was surprise that it wasn’t extremely salty. They managed to incorporate all the pastrami heavy sweet luxury without the saltiness that is common. Flavor kick in the butt! Plated and sandwiched well with the marbled rye and swiss. The kraut offered the offset of flavors. CRAZY GOOD!

The Pork-a-Pocolypse-
Smoked green chili pork shoulder, smoked pork belly, smoked pork burger- chipotle cream cheese, WBBQ, heat seeking mustard

the YUM!	HIS	HERs	Lauren
The Pork-a-Pocolypse	Oh My God! This, to me, is hands down, the perfect all time burger. The flavors in this burger are difficult to describe bc everything in there is heavenly. Again, a perfectly cooked burger, with pork belly which was cooked to absolute perfection. You have truly died and gone to pork heaven. This is my 5 out of 5 star burger.	What the heck is THAT? is that bacon?!? (takes bite)Oh my, that was an unbelievable explosion of taste in my mouth. Smokey to the right amount. Messy in all the greatest of ways. (does not want to share)	This pork heart attack is AMAZING!

The Drake Tavern in Jenkintown, PA

We went to The Drake Tavern this evening with our friend Oliver. We are new to the area and excited to explore! The Drake was rated pretty well on Yelp and a few other sites. We had driven by a few times and HERs noticed it looked fun. There was outside dining and it looked like an Irish pub. (HERs loves both)

HIS- Chipotle Guacamole and Cheddar Burger
(No burger, sub chicken
No bread)

the Yum!	HIS	HERs
Chipotle Chicken	Chicken was grilled perfectly, it was moist with a nice char flavor Guac and cheddar went perfect together with the fried crispy onions, none of the flavors were overpowering, they all blended perfectly. It came with a small side of coleslaw and 3 pickles. Although the slaw was good, the dish deserved a more substantial side.	I enjoyed the dish. The onions brought it all together and the sauce drizzled over was yummy. Good flavors

HERs- Samurai Tuna
Grilled Sesame Tuna over fried spinach and wasabi mash, topped with asian sauce (on the side)

the Yum!	HIS	HERs
Samurai Tuna	Tuna was cooked beautifully. The combination of the tuna with the Asian sauce and the wasabi potatoes was a symphony of pleasures. Had me yearning to come back and order THAT dish.	Loved the sesame coating, very heavily coated. Cooked very rare in the center and seared well on the sides. I liked a little of the wasabi mashed with the tuna then dipped in the sauce, which was similar to a soy. I actually ate it all.. thats not norm for me.

Oliver’s- Chicken Medley
Sauteed chicken breast topped with spinach, red peppers and smoked mozzarella with a balsamic reduction

the Yum!	HIS	HERs
Chicken Medley	Very good. Didn’t knock my socks off. I would have been happy ordering it, wouldn’t look forward to ordering again.	i was actually going to order this but I make dishes similar so I chose the tuna. Very yummy. The roasted peppers were great and the balsamic drizzle added a sweetness that the dish needed. Mayyyy try and add this to my Saltimbocca.

Firestone Double Jack
American Double, Imperial IPA
9.5 ABV

the Yum!	HIS	HERs
Firestone Double Jack	Didn’t try HERs beer bc they described it being very hoppy. HERs knows i despise a hoppy beer. So I drank the O’Hara’s Stout. That was really creamy and smooth, very enjoyable.	Very good! Enjoyed the fizzy carbonation. Nice flavor, very grapefruit and malty mouth to begin and fruity, almost lemon finish. Strong malt but not overpowering.
