MaurPowerFoodie The culinary journey of a jack of all trades... in blog form. http://maurpowerfoodie.wordpress.com/ Hi everyone! My name is Jason Maur. Nice to meet you. That’s me!

Born in raised in small town Monroe,CT and raised by a mother that believed everyone should be able to cook, food became a huge part of my life. I have since become an attorney, spend free time acting and doing stand-up comedy, but my passion is the art of cooking. Yes, cooking is an art. A way to express myself on a plate (or in a bowl, or whatever other canvas I use). My cooking style? Good ol’

fashioned comfort food with a twist… Especially gourmet burgers and BBQ. I hope you enjoy joining me as I review food experiences I have wherever I go, share my own recipes, and quite simply spread the love and passion I have for the art that is cooking as I pursue my culinary journey. Be sure to follow the blog for the latest recipes, reviews, and restaurant visits and videos (how's that for alliteration?)

Feeling deeply grateful for my amazing family and all the memories we share, today and every day. Thank you Vicky, Alex, and Leah for being my life and my everything.

Spent part of this weekend at a Hot Air Balloon festival and got to try this brand new business FLAVOR STATION ! Keep your eyes out for where they will be, as I predict they will be blowing up. This spiral potato was perfection for the whole family and don't skip on their agua frescas.

Happy Father's Day to all my fellow dads.

Absolutely amazing anniversary dinner, celebrating 7 years. Took a trip up to Boston with the family and headed to Tuscan Kitchen.

Amazing cheese wheel tagliatelle with plenty of black truffle, chicken parm for the kids (though they shared and enjoyed everything), a GIANT meatball, ceasar salad, delicious zeppole for dessert, a smokey peach bourbon drink for me, and the lobster gnocchi that stole the show.

Everything was great, but this gnocchi may be the best I've ever had. Perfect bit of pan fry on the outside, pillowy and the exact right amount of chew on the inside, seasoned to perfection, with a touch of fresh black truffle, but not so much that it overpowered the buttery, tender lobster meat.

Happy Valentine's Day! Lucky to have the best Valentines to share it with. Two years in a row (dare I call it the new tradition...?) of making all day sauce and pasta from scratch with Alex and Leah!

Nothing better than getting to spend this day with the people I love most and creating special memories!

Had to start my birthday off right with a sandwich from one of the best spots in Connecticut!

Late to the party, but finally made it to with the kids. A hit for adults and kids alike. We got the waffle tower (waffles, ice cream, cake, donuts, candy, Whipped cream cupcake, sprinkles) and the chicken Alfredo sub ( crispy chicken, fettuccine Alfredo, fried mozzarella sticks, on garlic bread with waffle fries). Both were over the top and delicious at the same time. Will be back for sure.

Great first experience at Tacobarn! Food, atmosphere, and service all great!
