Embarassment of Breakfast Choices In G-Town

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Yesterday I took the girls to Charlies Place for breakfast and it was fantastic.  Great service, great food at the right price.

I’ve probably said it before but what the hell, it’s my blog and if I repeat myself so be it.  We have just an incredible amount of fantastic places to go for breakfast that it is ridiculous.

Note to anyone who thinks it’s a good idea to open up a breakfast joint in this town.  You had better bring your A-game because good just isn’t going to cut it.  There are too many places doing breakfast right and mediocrity will not survive here.  you have to be great to survive in the breakfast game here.

I’ve lived in a few other towns enough to know that what we have here is special.  in other towns you are lucky to have one or two good breakfast joints.  Gloucester has at least ten.  Maybe it’s because we are morning people and the fishing industry culture from the past bred a community of early risers ready for food to power us through our hard working days.

I dunno for sure but whatever it is- i Like it!

Russian Lobster Candies

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Sister Felicia brought some down.  I haven’t eaten them yet because the thought of lobster flavored hard candy does not sound very appealing to me.  I wonder how long I’ll push them around on my desk.  How long do you think- six months, a year?

Corn Dog Challenge – The Ed Episode From Manuel Simoes

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Manuel Writes-

Corn Dog Challenge – with the focus on Ed.

It was difficult to clean up some of the video, because it was such poor lighting, and putting thirty minutes of fun and laughs into less than 10 minutes was my challenge. My stomach hurts from just watching all those corn dogs go down and come up.

Manuel Simoes Captures my interview with Bobby Ryan at The Ryan and Wood Distillery in Historic Gloucester Massachusetts.

Oh and BTW- that is not a fart about 3/4 of the way through the video. It’s the Bean giving me a zerbert on my neck while I’m conducting this very professional interview.

I wonder where she gets her sense of humor?

Sushi At Lat 43 Served Lunch or Dinner

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

There were a couple different things I didn’t realize about the Sushi at Lat 43.  One that you could get it for lunch OR dinner, and Two that you could get it at the bar in the Tavern section.   Every once in a while I crave sushi for lunch, now I know just where to get it.  Brian Eastman the manager tells me you could even call in for it and have it ready when you get there.  Sweet!

DUCKWORTH BEACH GOURMET- Monthly Newsletter

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
  

 
Cheese of the Month
 

Gruyere

 
 

Gruyère is sweet but slightly salty, with a flavor that varies widely with age. It is often described as creamy and nutty when young, becoming with age more assertive, earthy, and complex. When fully aged (five months to a year) it tends to have small holes and cracks which impart a slightly grainy mouthfeel. Gruyère is generally known as one of the finest cheeses for baking, having a distinctive but not overpowering taste. In quiche, gruyère adds savoriness without overshadowing the other ingredients. It is a good melting cheese, particularly suited for fondues, along with Vacherin and emmental. White wines, such as riesling, pair well with gruyère. This pairs well with the Featured Wine Nero D’Avola
