Joe’s Diner on Sycamore Soft Opening

by bsherm on July 23, 2010

The old Diner on Sycamore returned to life today as Joe’s Diner on Sycamore began their “soft open”. The grand opening is currently set for August 10th, but they are going to basically run pre-season for the next few weeks to work out the kinks. The menu is still pretty extensive for a “limited menu”. The waiter explained that the sides and the Salmon BLT were not available.

Vincenzo’s Ristorante Italiano

by bsherm on March 26, 2010

I like caramel corn. I was always frustrated by Cracker Jacks, though, because of the annoying peanuts. Don’t get between me and the caramel corn please.

Mayberry

March 8, 2010

I am easing into Bacon Week here on pFoody with an overdue review of Mayberry. Mayberry bills itself as A Grassroots American Eatery and is located downtown between Scotties and Hamburger Mary’s.
