Gloucester Classic- The Cupboard, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
The counter at the Cupboard is made from a classic formica. All those years, all those patrons served and that old formica countertop is still holding up. Sure it’s well worn in certain spots, but polished up over the years it’s certainly timeless. I’d go as far to say that there is something comforting about and old worn formica countertop. You know if the establishment that you’re eating at has one like it that they serve the kind of grub that will leave you satisfied.

The Mrs, The Bean and Snoop Maddie Mad are heading over to my mother’s house this morning to learn how to make mudiga and zugu. My favorite home cooked meal growing up was always mudiga steaks with mashed potatoes and peas. I’d make a little nest in the mashed potatoes and put the peas in there.

How many of you have relatives that still go down and get their loaf of Italian bread every morning?
My Grandma Rose (although I never called her Grandma Rose, it was always Grandma with the store) would take warm loaves of Italian bread, cut them flat in half, pour the good Italian olive oil on it and season it with salt and pepper. I’ll tell you what, I could eat a half a loaf, even when I was ten years old.

When driving to work two days ago I noticed the sign in the window of former Trupiano’s, Causeway Panini and Andiamo’s which read Culina Cafe. I called and made sure we got in there to get you the scoop first.
Here’s Daniel Macintyre who brings an impressive culinary resume to the Culina Cafe. Play the video to hear what he has in store for the place and why Gloucester is the right place to locate his business.
Yes Please. I’d like to nominate this for sandwich of the year.

Popo’s Gourmet Hot Dog- Chili Dog. Messy the way a chili dog should be. Don’t try to get this dog to eat on the road. You will need complete attention to get this sucker down without wearing it up and down your shirt.

Look for our interview with Jeannie at 8PM tonight.
Doesn’t it look like that lobster with the red lobster bands over Jeannie’s left shoulder is planning an attack?
