Ready to Dig Inn?

Dig Inn in Rye Brook, NY

I think if a restaurant makes you crave its delicious food, while you craft a blog post about it, then it has done its job. Sitting here now, I am fighting the urge to jump in my car and head down to Rye Brook, NY. In Rye Brook, is beautiful shopping center called Rye Ridge, where you can find everything and anything you desire. Back in high school, we would drive there because it was the home of the first Chipotle in our area. Now there is an endless amount of delicious and healthy food places in the shopping center.

This week, thanks to some great advice by fellow Westchester natives, I visited Dig Inn. Dig Inn is a chain restaurant, but it can be found at Rye Ridge. At Dig Inn, it is set up similarly to how you would order at Chipotle. You first choose your base, then three sides and then your protein.

As you know, I always get a little overwhelmed before ordering. I don’t know if it’s the pressure of making sure I choose the best options or if I am scared I am going to mess up and sound stupid. Does anyone else ever feel like that? Well if you do, I want to share with you what I ordered to make your trip that much easier. Here was my order: Classic Brown Rice, Jasper Hill Mac & Cheese, Spicy Peruvian Potatoes, Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Charred Chicken.

It was so delicious and probably not the healthiest of selections, but man did I eat it quickly. The food is always so filling, that I end up bringing some of it home. I definitely suggest trying Dig Inn out for yourself, and tell me what you like and didn’t like.

Also, a great reason why Dig Inn was so highly recommended to me was because of their mission to source their products locally and pay it forward to communities in need.

As always, make sure you are following me on all of my social media and let me know when you Dig Inn!

It’s Nutritious and Delicious

SoBol in White Plains, NY

Surprise! Here is another post about food, but this time I promise it won’t clog your arteries.

Last weekend, by the grace of God the sun finally decided to come out and we were all finally able to go outside without our winter coats on. A true miracle, if you ask me. When my friends and I heard that 70-degree weather was approaching, we immediately started planning for our day in the sun. We knew we wanted to grab a healthy bite to eat, so we started looking up healthy local food venues. After a lot of time spent online, finding the same smoothie places over and over, I decided to do what I knew worked best, send out a mass text to a wide variety of friends. “Looking for a yummy healthy quick bite for Saturday, any suggestions?” Some of my friends laughed in my face, but others sent me their favorite places along with what their favorite thing on the menu was.

After much deliberation, I chose SoBol in White Plains. Much to everyone’s surprise, I had never been there before nor had I ever had an acai bowl.

I’ll be honest at first I was definitely a little overwhelmed with their menu board, mainly because I had no idea what half the things on it were (like acai lol). But thanks to my friends and their suggestions I was able to make my order without panicking too much.

Here was my order *drum roll please*…… Regular sized Original Acai Bowl with Cookie Butter.

Now let me tell you, I was HUNGRY and the regular sized bowl was almost too much. I think in the future I would definitely go with the kid’s size. But the COOKIE BUTTER is to die for and all of it was as yummy as the Instagrams make it out to be!!!!!!

Also, their employees were so nice and super helpful as I picked out what I wanted, so thank you if you are reading this!

Well, that’s all for now! Be sure to follow my social media accounts and send me pictures of your acai bowls. Don’t forget to let me know where you want to see me next week.

The Power of the “Hash Tag”

Hash Tag Specialty Sandwich from Rocky’s Millwood Deli

Many people when they hear the word “hashtag” think of Twitter or trending topics. But for us kids who grew up in Westchester, when we hear  “hashtag” we think of THE HASH TAG from Rocky’s Millwood Deli. The Hash Tag, as pictured above,  is one of Rocky’s signature specialty sandwiches. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Inside this specialty sandwich is chicken cutlet, bacon, egg, cheese, hashbrown, ketchup, salt, and pepper.

What makes Rocky’s Deli such a staple piece of Westchester is not only its delicious sandwiches, but the fact that this deli is open 24/7. Yes, you read that correctly. After a night out, sometimes you get those late night munchies, and there are no places open, but Rocky’s always is. I have been there after midnight and the line is crazy. People from all over Westchester flock to Rocky’s for its incredible, yet greasy, food.

This past Sunday, on my latest trip to Rocky’s, I went with my younger brother. I love how a place I used to frequently go to in high school, is now a place where he and his friends like to go. I hadn’t been to Rocky’s in a couple of years, but the menu has not changed. (As a side note,  it is important to keep in mind that Rocky’s is cash only for anyone who plans on taking the trip.) The two of us walked in and ordered our sandwiches. I got the Hash Tag of course, and he ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese with macaroni bites. He claims it is the best sandwich, but I feel like I must stay loyal to the Hash Tag. The sandwiches cost a pretty penny though. We ordered the two sandwiches and an Arizona Iced Tea and it came out to $18. My mind was blown.

I think Rocky’s is a great treat once every few months or years. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this to be a daily or even weekly spot for a person to attend. Because as I was taught, “a minute on your lips, is forever on your hips”.
