Rosie had dinner at Alice's and seems to have liked the place. QUOTE Apps were squash soup, mushroom soup (it will be on my list of the best dishes of 2009, coming out at the end of December), mac and cheese served in a cast-iron frying pan that gets an extra nod from thick smoked bacon, addictive fried onion rings served with spicy homemade ketchup, and a light chopped salad made with assorted lettuces and veggies. You can eat simply or...

QUOTE(menton1 @ Dec 22 2009, 02:59 PM) Back in the thread, someone earlier mentioned Iron Horse. Was in Westwood last Sunday, and decided to give it a go, hadn't been in over 10 years. WHAT A MISTAKE! There was something queasy about the atmosphere in the place and it seemed unclean. That perception wasn't helped by an endless parade of wait staff and bus help carrying full garbage containers right past our...

Back in the thread, someone earlier mentioned Iron Horse. Was in Westwood last Sunday, and decided to give it a go, hadn't been in over 10 years. WHAT A MISTAKE! There was something queasy about the atmosphere in the place and it seemed unclean. That perception wasn't helped by an endless parade of wait staff and bus help carrying full garbage containers right past our table as we ate. (And this was at 7:30PM!) Their...

QUOTE(E.L.A. @ Dec 1 2009, 06:40 PM) Anyone try the burger at the new Porter House Grill in Norwood? Anyone been there yet? QUOTE(E.L.A. @ Nov 15 2009, 02:11 PM) This week I am having a lunch meeting at The Porter House, so, sure, why not, another burger. ELA - Did you ever make it to The Porter House in Montvale for the burger? What did you think? They've always been my favorite. I know that The Porter...

QUOTE(marauder @ Dec 17 2009, 05:02 PM) Also at the center of the criminal investigation of stealing credit card numbers. lol Ironic, isn't it, that Balocco is next to a monastery. Some info on the arrests are here. Doesn't look like the owner, Adolfo Marisi, was charged. http://www.northjersey.com/news/crime_courts/79029727.html .

Yeah, it's a little tougher to shake the image of felonious theft, than it is a bad scampi.

It's financed by the Bergen Record, but it's a glossy upscale mag and the little editorial content contained in it seems to be directly related to the advertisers displayed there. 90% of the pages are ads, and the other...

J&H offers 2 dogs; the standard Thumann's beef and pork dog made for deep frying, and the Thumann's all beef dog. If you don't specify which, you get the beef/pork. A classic Jersey Texas Weiner joint. Originally located in Fair Lawn, they moved to their current location some years ago. I often read comments from people who say the dogs at the Paterson location were better. I was never to the Paterson restaurant, but...
