Joe’s Blackened Chicken Pasta

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Cousin Larry shot into town for the week for the Fiesta. He’s a regular reader of the blog and if you read the comments you’ll note how much he misses all those great dishes that you can only get around here.  The pictures I put up drive him nuts.

When Larry lived in Gloucester, back in the day we would make regular trips up to Joe’s American Bar and Grill for the same dish- The Blackened Chicken Pasta. Vaughn, Brian, the Palazolla boys, Moo Moo, Larry and I went to Joe’s the other night in honor of Cousin Larry being back in town.

Joe’s didn’t disapoint. That same garlicky goodness and the killer bread with the butter all washed down with a couple nice Sam Summer Ales. It was great.

Joe’s American Bar & Grill

What’s better than getting that nice warm bread before your meal at Joe’s American Bar and Grill? 

Getting it and breaking it with friends and family, that’s what!

They ought to set up a little corner by the entranceway to Joe’s in the Northshore Mall where you could get that bread to go.  I swear I’d pay $10 a loaf.

The Mrs’ Strawberry Shortcake

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I don’t know what’s gotten into the Mrs, but she’s been on a cooking frenzy.

I had a particularly tough day at work yesterday cleaning out the lobster tanks and working on setting up some new ones and I came home to a killer dinner and special dessert.

Home made biscuits and strawberry shortcake. Made with strawberries from the coop share we have at Appelton Farms.

An intimate setting, make reservations early if you want to eat here. The place fills up for a reason- the killer food that Ken and Nicole prepare in the heart of East Gloucester.

Where The Locals Go Coupon Spotlight- Duckworth’s Bistrot

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Where The Locals Go

Today’s Where The Locals Go coupon spotlight is for the award winning Duckworth’s Bistrot. In the $10 Where The Locals Go coupon book the Duckworth coupon is for a complimentary dessert with any entree. Not too shabby.
Ken was a chef at Maison Robert in Downtown Boston in his former life and his lovely wife Nicole makes kick ass desserts for Duckworth’s. If you use that coupon, know that Nicole probably made the fantastic dessert you would be about to eat. I hear his lobster dishes are particularly tasty!

Duckworth’s Bistrot- Best Of The New Boston Globe Magazine

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Well Ken and Nicole’s Joint isn’t exactly new any more but they still pump out the incredible food that garnered them this award.  They have a fairly unique to these parts concept of allowing you to order half portions of meals.  It’s a great way for folks to order a bunch of different things and sample them all.

I took a ride down Main street to see if anyone had changed or added to their Flowerboxes this morning.  It provided a good opportunity to catch up on the new facade improvements at Passports.   Fresh painting done by Katherine Richmond painting.
