Not quite as classy, but they had great scrambled eggs and coffee! :)Liz Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085308886362660283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-59872948426320354352008-01-10T08:20:00.000-05:002008-01-10T08:20:00.000-05:00Hi Janet!I just love "local color" restaurants and...Hi Janet!<BR/><BR/>I just love "local color" restaurants and diners...they are definitely the best places to eat. Lately I've been craving food from Dominic's in Dayton, Ohio. Great Italian food and a house salad dressing that will absolutely curl your hair...very garlicky and delicious. Of course, everyone has to order the salad, or it's unbearable for the group! <BR/>Stop by my blog...I have something for you.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265040074135227114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-43698726809100647352008-01-09T22:30:00.000-05:002008-01-09T22:30:00.000-05:00Oh how I love Vermont and BF!You were quite the tw...Oh how I love Vermont and BF!<BR/>You were quite the two year old weren't you? : )<BR/>The best Italian places I have ever eaten were in Rome, NY. We were newly stationed there and our kitty's new vet told us about them. He said they had no curb appeal, no ambiance at all but classicaly trained chefs and the best Italian we had ever tasted.

It has been around for about 40 years and owned by the same family. It was always a neat place for the high school kids to hang out after football games (mainly because there was no where else to go)as the owners were and still are huge supporters of the little school there. Now just the "old" alumni hang out and the "young" kids think it's a joke. Me, I still love their greasy hamburgers once a year when I go home for homecoming! <BR/>Have a wonderful Wednesday,<BR/>JenJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873081089753668041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-48032211795505209422008-01-09T11:21:00.000-05:002008-01-09T11:21:00.000-05:00I just love places like that!!!

Such fun, but I got to go "downtown" every day and eat my lunch "out" and shop at the fun stores on my lunch hour. Such sophistication, to say nothing of the escalator and elevators in the store, LOL.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228344764544525919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-69196235785920266622008-01-08T19:59:00.000-05:002008-01-08T19:59:00.000-05:00I've never been to Vermont.
