Meatloaf ,  Mmmmmm

I have been asked many time for a page dedicated to pizza so here we go. On the top you can visit our pizza page. We ask for your imput so, on the contact page send me your favorites and we will try to have them here.

Sandwich of the week.

Picture
Normally I highlight a sandwich I cant be without. This week I have one that just isnt up to par. You have to choose if you like or dont like. I know some of you hard core patrons will say the Dude is wrong. Thats ok too. Its Blackies hot dogs in Cheshire Ct. Very mediocre, nothing special and not worth the drive.

Blackie Burger

Picture
Blackie burger. My friend Ken said it was like having a burger from the school cafeteria. I hate to give out a bummer award but I expected better.

What to have and where to go.

Picture
These are baked oysters. I know that during happy hour at Coconuts my friend Byron is serving oysters. You can have them made simply raw and on the 1/2 shell but if you know enought to ask he will make them baked with a garlic butter and covered in parmesan cheese.

Grumpiest Waitstaffer. We say this tongue in cheek. We have great service people here in the Valley.

This week its Megan. Megan is at Mikes East Side Pub. My wife calls this place Eastside Johnnies. Why, I dont know but we both love going there to eat. Fish N Chips, Prime rib and of course just about anything you want. The best Mac N Cheese anywhere and really good Lasagna. They are open for breakfast too. Stop by and say hello to Megan.

I had not been to the Lido in Springfield for a while and It was grand to see it is still a really great place for dinner. My suggestion would be the veal cutlet dinner. Mine was melt in your mouth. The Lido one of Springfields original greats.Located on Worthington st I know you will love it there. Definately one of my favorites.
