While the big name paper critics are busy dining at popular restaurant openings like Saga, and gearing up for swanky Sweet Lowdown, I’m out sifting through humble neighborhood eateries in search of down to earth deliciousness. And recently, I discovered that unpretentious delicious morsel at an unassuming little to-go shop near Edgewood called Turnover Time.

Here, all sorts of warm savory goodness is wrapped in flaky yet somehow chewy puff pastry shells molded in the shape of a half football. In the morning they are filled with fluffy scrambled eggs and ooze cheese. But for lunch they’re stuffed with spicy jerk chicken with broccoli and soul-soothing ground turkey pie (not so sloppy Joe).

Not all is savory at Turnover Time, I’ve become crazy addicted to the apple turnover whose flaky crust is showered with judicious doses of cinnamon and sugar.

Turnover Time is amazing in that these flaky tortes are priced modestly between $2.95 and $3.85. Surprisingly, there is no dine-in despite the fact that there is plenty of space to bring in tables and chairs. But it’s so good, I don’t mind sitting on the ‘hood of my car for now.

I only have one question, why isn’t this place packed?
