My View of Life on the Dock
Well wonder no more.
While eating breakfast at Sugar Magās the service guy was pulling the machine apart.Ā Of course your boy Joey whipped it out (the camera that is) and snapped a shot for you.
I guess there really is something to the high price tags on these machines.Ā There are some serious parts in there behind all the polish.

Hey Joey, wanted to tell you that in addition to our costume party/
piano bar night on October 30th, we are having a Halloween themed
dinner hour for families who come in to eat on Halloween before or
after trick or treating on Sunday, Halloween night, October 31st.
Who wants to cook on Halloween? We’ll have goodie bags for kids and a
special something for the adults and DownTown Clownz will be there

CAPE ANN RESTAURANT WEEK
October 17-22, 2010
Brought to you by the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce
You won’t want to miss the tastiest week in fall! For six delicious days, participating Cape Ann restaurants will entice you with a delicious three-course dinner, all for one low price of $25.00 (not including beverage, tax or gratuity)! With no passes to buy or cards to punch, this mouth-watering event is designed to put a smile on your face! You’ll want to eat out every night of the week!
Do you plan to participate?
Noah tells us how the Farm Downtown at 350 Rantoul Street Beverly MA differs from the Farm Bar and Grille.
This place is destined to be one of those joints where you would drive 20 milesĀ to go for takeout because it’s that good!
Click the picture below to check out the interactive map which brings you free places to grab a wifi connection on Cape Ann.
If there are more locations that I missed feel free to drop a note to the GMG email address- goodmorninggloucester@yahoo.com
Thanks to Giuseppe Bonini for the heads up.
This afternoon (as long as I get out of work in time) I’ll be moderating a Food BloggersĀ Summit at the Rockport Harvest Fest.
The Food Bloggers Summit was put together by Heather Atwood.
Food Bloggers Summit:Ā 4:30 PM An open discussion among local food bloggers, featuring Abby Cahill O’Brien of 5thjoy, Heather Atwood of Food for Thought, Jane Ward of Food and Fiction, Kristen Nyberg and Jill Rose of North Shore Dish.Ā Moderated by your boy Joey of Good Morning Gloucester.
I’m not really sure who would want to listen to any of us talk about food or blogging but if you wanna come with a case ‘o tomatas and start hurling them in my direction it might make for a more interesting event.Ā š
It’s going to take place on T-Wharf.Ā Just look for the big huge tent.
Anyway if you are coming to Rockport Harvest Fest today (which you should) stop by the tent around 4:30 and don’t forget your tomatoes.

Isn’t March supposed to be the month that "comes in like a lion"?
In Gloucester, however, and especially here at the store, October has fit that definition.
There was no better indication that our town, with all of its tourist attractions, is back in the hands of the locals than the happy throng that gathered here last Wednesday evening for our first Wine Tasting of the fall. We lost count, but we think we greeted about 60 old and new friends during the course of the two hour reception and tasting. Someone from Annisquam said the ebullient atmosphere reminded her of Chowder Day.
We’ll be continuing that tradition, but on Wednesdays, so check the Web site and our e-mails for invitations to upcoming Wednesday evening wines and times.
Autumn is the season of bounty and abundance, and you’ll find it’s in full swing here. The shelves are brimming with new merchandise that we’ve sourced from artisinal purveyors both in New England and across the country. We’re stocking up on all the goods that people tell us they want both for gift giving and for their own pantries as the days get shorter and colder.
Cheese of the Month
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar Cheese
Voted "Best Cheese In North America" and
continuing a long line of fruitful culinary collaborations is this clothbound cheddar from a collective of Vermont’s finest cheesemakers. Cabot makes these 35 pound wheels from the pasteurized milk of Holstein cows and delivers them to the neighboring Cellars at Jasper Hill for aging and maturation. The end result of this promising partnership: a nutty, complex, and perfectly sharp cheddar that proves American cheesemaking has trully come of age. Pair it with a fruity Cabernet or a big Brown Ale.
Wine of the Month
Cono Sur – Colchagua Valley, Chile
It is appealing in its rich and deep bright red colour, and has a complex and developed nose that is governed by sweet wild fruit aromas, were notes of cherries and berries are enhanced by slight toasty hints. This Pinot definitely has a personality of its own. It’s tasteful, with soft tannins and an excellent structure. Cono Sur is a great option for stuffed pastries (with chicken or vegetables for example), and all sorts of quiches. Pinot Noir is one of the most versatile varieties there is. It can go well with fish, or with poultry, pork and lamb. Creamy sauces and spicy seasonings are also an excellent choice.
Thanksgiving Day Menu
We don’t want to say the word "Holiday" but Thanksgiving will be here before you know it. Thanksgiving is the time to gather with your friends and family, turn on some football, and enjoy your Thanksgiving meal. duckworth beach gourmet has a time savings menu so you can do just that – relax and enjoy. Honor your family traditions with some traditional foods or add a new dish that you would like to introduce. Either way, we do all the prep work, you just reheat it.

Offer Expires: October 30, 2010
New GMG contributor Mr Patrick Ryan and I headed to The Farm Downtown at the new Rantoul Street Beverly location at 350 Rantoul Street for The Farmās latest business venture and it looks like the boys have a big-time winner.
All the best of the menu form the Farm Bar and Grille in Essex served fast, fresh and CHEAP.
Iām stunned at how cheap the menu items are (most expensive item is $6.95)
I ordered and before we knew it the bags of grub were sitting on the counter in front of me. Continuing to chat with the woman who took my order, it wasnāt for 3 or 4 more minutes til I realized that the bags placed in front of me were ours.
The Farm pulled pork nachos are my absolute favorite nachos anywhere.
If they sold stock in these guys I would be a buyer. It is absolutely astounding to me that three 30 year old maniacs that came from the corporate world āget itā so well on what people want and how to give it to them in a restaurant.
Mark my words- These guys are just getting going. Theyāre big now- they are gonna be HUGE.
Look for the video tomorrow with Noah.
Some comments from Yelp–
Beverly, MA
10/1/2010
I went to the Farm Downtown on opening day and was very happy with my experience. It is a fairly small place (compared to its Essex cousin, which is a bar/restaurant) and has minimal seating. I think it will succeed very well at the take-out level.
The food is pretty much the same fare as the Essex location, but cheaper. The fish tacos, which I adore, were $14 at Essex; $7 at Beverly. Quite a big difference. I don’t know if this is introductory pricing, however $7 for three fresh fish tacos (that are quite tasty) is a bargain in my book. I also had the seasonal salad which was $6 and was fresh and packed with nuts, cranberries, apples and gorgonzola. It’s really enough for 2, or leftovers for the next day.
They were giving away pulled pork sandwiches, which are normally $4.25 for the small version and $6.25 for the large version, and it was quite good.
The chicken tender app is $4.50 and if it’s the same as the Essex version, it will be one of the best buys. They are very tender, and my order @ Essex was again big enough to bring home and throw into a salad the next day. The breading could have a been a bit more flavorful for me, but as long as the chicken wasn’t dried out, i was a happy camper.
The staff at the Beverly locale was doing a great job keeping up with customers on opening day and very pleasant to deal with. There was no tip jar (which I tend to eyeroll at in most instances), but the gal behind the counter brought the food to our table (we thought we’d have to retrieve our own and would have been perfectly fine with that) and I would have gladly put something in a jar for that.
The hours here are going to be very good for those who make use of the Beverly "night life"; closing time is 2:00 a.m. on Th/Fri/Sat. I have a feeling they’ll be doing a brisk business!

Her cranberry chutney is fantastic and I love the way she slices the potatoes thin and bakes them in the oven. They come out crispy without having to fry them.
