Falafel Shack, 9 North Main Street, Chambersburg, PA


Falafel Shack, 9 North Main Street, Chambersburg, PA 17201 717-404-8282 www.falafelshackpa.com
Our family – the Cimbala, Dorrance, Dayhoff, and Babylon family went to eat here on Friday, 11Jan2019 and we really enjoyed the food, the service, and family friendly Mediterranean atmosphere. Our food was wonderful. Our server was competent, capable, friendly, and delightful. The owner, Amir, took the time to come over and say hi, and chat with us a bit. We really recommend the Falafel Shack to other families. Enjoy. @FalafelShack https://www.facebook.com/FalafelShack/

For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg

For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg. It was too fun. 

It is great to be alive in the year 2017. Jim Rowe had posted on my Facebook page that he had baked a cherry custard pie. 

I had planned to stay in the office and work through dinner with a sandwich. However, with the information that a cherry custard pie was available, 

Caroline weighed-in, the presses stopped and all plans were changed. 

Jim Rowe greeted us at the door, and seated us in the back. We had a great dinner. 

Caroline ordered salmon cakes, Grammy got the soft shell crab again and I went for the meatloaf. Meatloaf is a specialty dish for both Caroline and me, so we know meatloaf – and it was the best. 

Our server was Tessa Howard – the best. 

For dessert, Caroline and Grammy had the cherry custard pie and I had the carrot cake. It was to die for. 

Frank Tunzi came out from the kitchen to say hi, and to remind us that he made the flowers for our wedding. He even remembered all the details. (I know flowers – it was my business for 25-years.) 

And for a bonus, we got to see Stephen Howard, who was helping-out in the kitchen of whom, I was just reminded, is Larry L Brumfield's son. It is a small world. 

It's great to live in Carroll County. Love, love, love Buttersburg Inn.

For lunch Sat, June 10, 2017, Grammy, Caroline and I ate at local Korean Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

For lunch Sat, June 10, 2017, Grammy, Caroline and I ate at local Korean Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich in Newport News, Virginia.

We got off 64 at Rte 17 north, exit 259a. At the intersection of Rte 17 and Old Oyster Point Road, we found "Straight Outta Philly," at 12:15. Lunch took an hour. We left at 1:15 and resumed driving up Rte 17.

I got a Philly Cheese Steak Pizza. I am not kidding. Grammy actually got a Philly Cheese Steak. Caroline got the Korean Beef Bolgogi, with three Mondoos and no Kimchi. All of our food was quite good.

The restaurant was clean, well-lit and nicely decorated in a vinyl record musical theme. I especially appreciated several home-made signs that the server explained, were made by a local regular customer.

One sign explained that 'Tipping' was not a faraway Chinese city… We sat under a very large neon sign with the restaurant's name.

We always take a great deal of pride in finding locally-owned restaurants for eating when we are on the road. We like supporting local small businesses. More often than not, they have a story to tell, the food is great and the restaurant employees and servers are fun.

Straight Outta Philly was great. Our server was a local girl, who wants to go to school to be an ultrasound technician. While we were there a number of local folks came to eat, including two post office employees.

March 26, 2014: "Mother's Restaurant" in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a Marine Corps thing.


"Mother's Restaurant" in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a Marine Corps thing. Semper Fi. We loved it. Convenient to downtown. We walked everywhere. The food was great. The service was good and the place had real character. I felt like we part of history. 26Mar2014





  

 

Mother’s restaurant New Orleans Louisiana
401 Poydras St
New Orleans, Louisiana
(504) 523-9656
Authentic N'Awlins home-style cooking since 1938. The Amato family welcomes you for a taste of tradition.


 

  

Mother’s Restaurant opened its doors in 1938 on Poydras Street’s “Restaurant Row”, situated between a thriving waterfront and the courthouse. Owners Simon and Mary (Mother) Landry and his large family cooked up po’ boys for lines of longshoremen and laborers, newspapermen and attorneys.


During and after World War II, Mother’s became a local hang-out for “the few and the proud” – the U.S. Marine Corps. The Marine spirit was in the family – five of the seven Landry children (five sons and two daughters) joined the Marine Corps. Francis Landry was the first woman in Louisiana to be accepted into the Corps. This special association with the Marines earned Mother’s the title of “TUN Tavern New Orleans” in the late ’60s. The original TUN tavern was the official birthplace of the Marines during the Revolutionary War.


Mother’s is not just a part of this great American tradition, but also stands as a uniquely New Orleans institution. The likes of other family-owned local businesses such as D.H. Holmes Department Stores, K&B Drug Stores, MacKenzie’s Bakery, and Werlein’s Music have all departed from the landscape, while Mother’s Restaurant has not only remained almost exactly the same, but has flourished.


In 1986, the Jerry and John Amato bought Mother’s from the Landry’s sons Jacques and Eddie. With the changing of the guard, many things were added but nothing, fortunately, lost. Jerry Amato, chef and proprietor, doubled the already dizzying size of the menu. Now traditional New Orleans dishes like jambalaya and Shrimp Creole line-up next to the po’ boys that Mother’s made famous, such as the Ferdi Special and the debris po-boy (for a history of these and other sandwiches on the Fun Facts page). Breakfast, lunch and dinner items are cooked with fresh ingredients and bold, delicious flavor.


You will still see longshoremen in boots and you’ll find plenty of locals rubbing elbows in line with visitors, veterans, politicians and movie stars. Mother’s remains true to its working class origins. Nobody gets treated better (or worse) than anybody else. As Jerry Amato says, “Everybody gets fed. Everybody comes back.”


So go ahead, join ranks with the not-so-few, but intensely proud – the Mother’s crowd.

Greek restaurants part of Westminster history - baltimoresun.com

Greek restaurants part of Westminster history - baltimoresun.com

"By Kevin E. Dayhoff, 7:19 a.m. EDT, August 21, 2014

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0824-20140821,0,757277.story

When Westminster was first laid out by William Winchester in 1764, it was located on one of the three main routes west in what we now know as Carroll County. 


Today these routes are known as Route 30, Route 140, and Route 26.

Winchester formed Westminster at a point one day's travel between Reisterstown and Taneytown on one of these main routes used by settlers as they traveled west. 


 Its emphasis on public safety and the promotion of low taxes, good roads and a pro-business environment encouraged many travelers to stay in the Westminster and Carroll County area.


Not to be overlooked were the good hotels, inns, restaurants and provisioning stores that were quickly established in Westminster to meet the needs of the stream of folks using those routes

That tradition of good restaurants and stores remains in Carroll County and the Westminster area 250 years later..."

'Maxim' Magazine Sold to Operator of Steak 'n Shake Restaurants

'Maxim' Magazine Sold to Operator of Steak 'n Shake Restaurants

http://mashable.com/2014/02/28/maxim-magazine-sold-to-operate-of-steak-n-shake-restaurants/

"BY JASON ABBRUZZESE FEB 28, 2014

A smart business deal can help diversify a business or appeal to a core user. Sometimes the best do both. 


Maxim magazine has been bought by Biglari Holdings, a company that operates Steak 'n Shake among other businesses, according to a press release. Biglari currently does not operate any other media outlets, according to its website.
Maxim will continue to operate independently. "Maxim's inclusion into our collection of companies will benefit from our financial strength. We plan to build the business on multiple dimensions, thereby energizing our readership and viewership," said Sardar Biglari, chief executive of Biglari Holdings.
The magazine was said to be entertaining bids of around $20 million in summer 2013. The company that operates Maxim, Alpha Media Group, was most recently sold in September to Darden Media for an undisclosed sum.
