Rudder Reconstruction Update 3/30/09

Here is one of the changes to the inside of the newly reconstructed Rudder Restaurant on Rocky Neck.  This lobster tank has been framed out with driftwood.  Lots of the original detail and wood has been retained and reinstalled.  Video coming from inside at 10:00AM

Rudder Reconstruction Update 3/30/09

Anyone that has been reading the blog for a while knows about my fascination with construction projects around town.  I’ve been keeping up with the Rudder reonstruction on Rocky Neck this past winter but FINALLY I got to go inside to tape some video for YOU, my loyal readers!  Sweet!  Who brings you inside like your boy Joey?  Nobody!

Anywho, hee is a pic of the chef of many years, the infamous Wheels who had been at Dogbar all winter but will resume his duties at The Rudder come opening day.

Look for the video tour of the guts of this favorite summer haunt of many Gloucester resident and tourists alike tomorrow morning at 10:00AM.

 

Sugar Magnolia Espresso Maker

I dig this pic.  Worth seeing in larger view.  There is a lot of beauty in the timeless design of espresso makers.

Sugar Magnolia Crab Cakes Bene Rocks!

This is one of my favorite breakfast meals in town.  We are spoiled with  great breakfast joints but the Crab Cake Bene at Sugar Mags and The West Indian Hash at Sailor Stans send me into breakfast orgasm mode.   I add a little tobasco to both to spice them up a bit.

West End Sweets Signage

Last week I brought you the info that there was this Ice Cream/Candy Store/Espresso Shop going in the West End where Mike’s Pastry used to be located.  Here is the signage with the offerings.  I’m still trying to track down the people who will be running the joint for in interview.  If anyone has any leads send me a comment.

Red Skiff French Toast With Ham

I love it when they brown the ham just a little bit like this-

Salted Mackerel

Salted herring and mackerel sit in vats, preserved for use as lobster bait.

Over time the salt draws all the fluid from the fish and they shrivel up a bit.  Here, our friend Mr Mackerel could use a drink of water to rehydrate.  Not to worry, soon enough he will be stuffed in a bait bag and sent off the back of a lobster boat to lure in some unsuspecting lobster that’s poking around at the bottom of the ocean looking for a meal.  Mr Mackerel will sure enough find that water once again…..just before he becomes lunch.

Red Skiff Eggs and Hash

Note the face depicted with the food?  The bread looks like eyebrows, eggs are the eyes and the orange is the smile!  Stevie is making breakfast into an art form.
