Great Marsh Brewing Company expansion is well underway on the former Fortune Palace site at 99 Main Street in Essex, Ma. The brew pub makes a statement on the skyline and will have incredible views. Slated to open in the fall of 2019, the new brewery and restaurant received a five million bond boost from MassDevelopment and partnership with Webber Restaurant Group. North shore owner John Collins resides in Newburyport. If progress remains on track, the opening will sync right in with Town of Essex Bicentennial Celebrations in 2019 (see brochure below).

Though Dog Bar and Landing are closed, you can find Michael O’Leary and friends on alternate Sundays at Jalapenos (only in America!) brought together by their love of traditional music beautifully played, sung and felt. They were at the Farm on St Patrick’s Day, and Lannon music sails.

Nancy Cooney and her daughter Grace were at City Hall to support plans for Danielle and Carlo Berdahn’s new Mediterranean bistro, Yella on the Water, opening May 1, 2019 in the former Morning Glory space on Stacy Boulevard. They opened Yella Grille in Andover (and catering) ten years ago.
The Gloucester Zoning Board approved some deck work at their waterfront dining site. Grace spoke about how hard her mom works, the bitter sweet closing, and the plans and excitement of these impressive new owners. The Berdahns made the decision easier for her mom to transition to a well-earned retirement and for customers to welcome a new eatery. The family wishes them well and long success in Gloucester, too.

Way back in my single days I had about ten go-to dishes that were super easy to make for a cooking dummy like me (back before my love of cooking with charcoal began).
Here’s one I used to make all the time when I didn’t have a lot of time but wanted to eat something tasty and filling after a tough day at work.
Ingredients:
Get a rotisserie chicken from Market Basket (or wherever they sell them)
Bowtie pasta
Minced garlic, chopped sundried tomatoes in olive oil
Butter.
Prep:
Boil the bowtie pasta
Chop up the rotisserie chicken into 1 inch or so chunks (leave the skin on for flavor)
Drain the pasta once cooked and stir in butter to coat, minced garlic to taste, chopped sundried tomatos and chopped up chicken. Serve with garlic bread.
Done.
It’s that easy.
New Sunday Hours!
The bar will not close and small bar menu will be available 2:00-4:00
If you have not been to Sherry’s Corner Café, 2 Lexington Avenue, Magnolia, Gloucester, MA , you should make a point to stop in for breakfast or lunch. Her hours are 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM 7 days a week.
The photo below is the garden veggie omelet that is so good. Thank you Sherry for hanging my photos in your restaurant.
Wifey who normally is pretty reserved when reaching across the table could not get enough of her dinner and mine. There were so many “OMG this is amazing” comments after every bite that I lost count.
The room, the service the food taste and presentation- all on point. We’re big fans.
Something happened over the weekend that made me remember that I snapped these photos at Stone’s Pub right around Halloween.
Freddy and I happened to be sitting at the bar for a quick bite when one of Stone’s patrons came in dressed as, none other than, Stone’s bartender Jamie.
Nice job. He did, in fact, shave his head and dye his beard to complete the outfit along with donning the Stone’s Pub t-shirt and jeans.
Good Morning Gloucester
