Good Morning Gloucester

We took a little walk around downtown harbor areas to see what we could see. It was a quiet morning but work’s still gotta get done!

Tony Gross Comes Through Again With His Famous Swedish Coffee Bread

Posted on December 24, 2010 by Joey C

Every year Tony makes Frank and I a loaf of his much sought after Swedish coffee bread. I’m afraid to open it because once you eat the first bite I can’t stop til that whole sucker is gone. (I’m not sure if he puts heroin in it, the stuff is so damn addicting).

Tony Gross’ Swedish Coffee Bread

Posted on December 21, 2009 by Joey C

Every Christmastime Tony Gross, the skipper of the lobsterboat F/V Sandollar makes a ridiculous number of Swedish Coffee Bread loaves and gives them out to friends.  I made the mistake and called it Nisu but because the recipe comes from an elder in Tony’s family he insists it be called Swedish Coffee Bread.

It’s delicious and best eaten within a day of cooking.  I sure am glad I’m on the list of those who get one every year!

From their “Our Story” page:

“Eastern Point Collective is a team of community-driven hospitality innovators, there are few things we’re more passionate about than people and food. In our 30+ years of combined experience, we’ve learned that business owners do best when they strive to be a contribution not only to their bottom line, but to the communities they serve. That’s why we see opening new concepts and helping existing restaurants thrive as more than just a business opportunity – it’s a chance to actively improve people’s lives and the communities they live in. 

Collectively we’ve designed, consulted, opened and managed dozens of concepts, from mom-and-pop startups to Michelin-starred establishments. We started Eastern Point Collective to change hospitality through integrity and grace.  We are here to help developers, chefs and restaurateurs build successful ventures that both improve the neighborhoods where they operate, and help to elevate the hospitality industry itself. With our restaurants we are constantly seeking new and innovative ways of operating that create a better life for everyone involved – owners, employees, and guests. 

Behind everything we do is the driving belief that when it comes to hospitality, taking a community-focused, purpose-driven approach isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s the right way to build a successful and sustainable business. Whatever it is you’re looking to build, we can’t wait to help bring it to life.”

By now, I think you know Minglewood on Rogers Street is one of our very favorite local restaurants. We stopped by recently after a little holiday shopping for the perfect ending to the day. There are extra precautions in place but it did not feel restrictive—just welcoming and safe. As they say, there’s always something going on at Minglewood, and now that I’ve seen the post about their Patti-tini, I’m going to have to get back there soon!

Many of you might not know that I’m 4th. Generation Gloucester born. This story is about my Paternal Great Grandfather published in the Gloucester Times 1931. My Great grandfather fished out of #Gloucesterma on the Morning Star and when came home from fishing he was informed of his wife’s passing. He passed away a few weeks later. Fishing was part of my heritage. My fathers ancestors arrived here in the 1860’s from Nova Scotia and My Moms ancestors even earlier arrived here from Ireland. God Bless the men and women who still work to bring fish to Gloucester. I am #gloucesterproud
