I tried the fried mozzarella appetizer to start and for my meal I had the burger. The fried mozzarella was delicious and the spicy marinara it came with was super good. It wasn&#8217;t too spicy at all, if you&#8217;re worried about that. The burger was SO good with a nice and toasty bun, meat blended in house and excellent toppings. Overall, I&#8217;d give this an 8.5\/10.<\/p>\n<p>Also on my list of new tries is the <strong>mac and cheese from the Gulu-Gulu Cafe<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve been to Gulu many, many times, however I had not tried the mac and cheese until a few weeks ago. Ohhh my goodness. It was extremely rich and dense. I&#8217;d definitely order it again and give it a solid 8.75\/10. The person I was with at Gulu also got the mac and cheese, she got hers with avocado on top and said it was a lovely addition.<\/p>\n<p>Another new try for me is the <strong>strawberry paczki<\/strong> from Coffee Time. I have had their paczki many times and I absolutely love it. However, the strawberry flavor was new for me and immediately became my new favorite. 10\/10. If you want to try paczki from Coffee Time be sure to act quickly, it&#8217;s seasonal and will be retired pretty soon until next spring.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have a <strong>Philly cheesesteak from The Babe<\/strong>. Now I have to say, everything I have had from The Babe so far has been good, however, this sandwich sort of missed the mark if you ask me. It was a bit on the dry side and the cheese was non existent, it was more like a steak sandwich. The steak was good, however, the sandwich overall was lacking. I&#8217;d give this a 3.75\/10, however I would still go back to The Babe to try other food there, without hesitation. So don&#8217;t let that deter you.<\/p>\n<p>There you have it! A handful of new foods I have tried over the last month here in Salem. Which ones are you planning to try?
