To Go Common Crow, a lunch and drink spot will be opening this summer. Thank you to Lynne for my exclusive, after-hours interview and menu sneak-peak!

Market Restaurant At Lobster Cove- The GMG Interview

Never have I seen such an excitement among online foodies as the one created over the past month for the newly opened Market Restaurant At Lobster Cove. Check the video for the inside skinny and the slide show at the end of the video

My breakfast sandwich was fantastic and it looks like The Mrs will be doing a recon mission for dinner with her girlfriends next week. I’d say that she would get you some great photos from that dinner but I think we all know that when the Mrs gets together with her merry band of alcoholics friends it will be more about the wine than the picture taking. šŸ™‚

The H Bomb Drops On GMG- Heather Atwood Has Some Nice Things To Say

Chickity Check her latest blog post-

Lobster Rolls, Appellation Controllee, GMG

Some mornings the tea spills, the weeds rule, and the fog won’t lift, but there is a recipe for curing any bad start: a cruise through the blog GoodMorningGloucester.

Your water bill may be too high.  Your spot on the Rockport mooring wait-list too low, but there is no way you can feel anything but love for this part of the world once you’ve spent five minutes reading Joey Ciaramitaro’s take on Cape Ann, even if you’re reading from China.

To read the rest click here and discover her new blog- Food For Thought On The Gloucester Daily Times Website

Thanks for the kind words H šŸ™‚

I would have to add that I have a great group of contributors and GMG community that make the blog what it is.  Without the people that check it out, write in to comment and give us encouragement it would just be a bunch of folks posting pictures and commenting on their own lives.  It’s the GMG community of people who write in and share similar experiences, likes and dislikes that make GMG special.  I’m just one part of it.  Oh and I’m also a lobster dealer, not a lobsterman.

You Might Want To Try Some Weed

Had some of this Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka with lemonade on the rocks and it was quite tasty.  It won’t be taking the place of my Beauport Vodka in the regular summer vodka tonic repertoire but it’s a nice change up.
