There are so many great restaurants in our area, some are always in the spotlight, and some aren t, but deserve the spotlight for fabulous food.
So, where are the Most Underrated Restaurants in the area? I asked a bunch of my friends, and here s the list of the places you need to check out ASAP, and some of their favorite menu items.
Salerno s 3 - 1292 Lower Ferry Road, Ewing. Among the favorites are the penne pasta pizza, Vodka Rigatoni, and the chopped antipasto (I can t wait to try that.I love antipasto).
El Jalapeno - 3800 Quakerbridge Road, Hamilton. Mexican. Among the favorites are the steak tacos, nachos, and, burritos. One of my my friends called it the best kept secret in the area. Big portions and inexpensive.

I recently received a copy of a new cookbook all about soups from Michele Di Pietro, creator of New York-based Mangia With Michele.
It’s not your ordinary soup cookbook.
SOUPified: Soups Inspired by Your Favorite Dishes is a whimsical and fun collection of soup recipes that were inspired by popular dishes like Eggplant Parm, Chicken Marsala, Lasagne, Shrimp Scampi, Philly Cheesesteak and even Chinese Egg Rolls.
Feel like getting creative in the kitchen? Michele shared her tips on how you too can how to turn your favorite dishes into a spoonable, bowl version.
The first step is to determine if something can be SOUPified successfully. She said you need to become deeply intimate with the underlying dish: dissect its most significant flavors and textures and decide which are the most significant and those that would need to be present in the final SOUPified version.
