Wife is meeting me for lunch; going to give Talia a shot since I need to stop by my bank down there anyway.

its probably too late but ABORT ABORT ABORT

Hopefully you have better luck for lunch than I did for dinner.

[dodint]

Are you kidding? Are you talking food or service? Service was slow but we sat at the bar at lunch rush. I know it's the cool kid thing to do to **** on wherever I have lunch but the food was flavorful and they made good use of that space for atmosphere.

TIL; Talia is owned by the same people that own DeNunzio’s in Jeannette.

The roasted Castlevatrano olives popped with flavor, and my wife's prosciutto was of notably high quality.

I had the pork meatballs over polenta which is a bit of a slam dunk but they didn't botch it.

Glad to hear you had a better experience than I did.

So you're serious then?

I'm coming from a different perspective than you but my wife and I both had a really nice lunch.

[slappybrown]

Yes -- service was poor and the food was so-so when I went. This was back in April, however, so not long after they had opened.

[dodint]

Ah, well.

Something something Nonna made it better.

[slappybrown]

Did you know there are no restaurants in Italy?

[count2infinity]

cause of the instant microwaveable potatoes, right?

[slappybrown]

Nonna makes the best instant microwaveable potatoes. There is only one night a year where Nonnas are given the night off from making them, and on that evening, Italians roam the streets in search of food. Because there are no restaurants, however, they are forced to scavenge the land until sun up, when Nonna makes re-friend instant microwaveable potatoes (they are just re-microwaved, to be clear).

[count2infinity]

Excuse me... Italians rome the streets...

[Viva la Ben]

It is factual that there is a Olive Garden restaurant in Rome.

Oddly specific here, but:

Anyone have any recommendations for a roadside food place in the vicinity of Deer Lakes Park and/or Curtisville? Wife and I want to squeeze in one last motorcycle ride this evening and want to grab dinner somewhere; looking to hit explore some back roads in that area.

I see Deer Creek Diner, just curious if I'm missing anything else.

[Dickie Dunn]

You're right. That is oddly specific.

[slappybrown]

Curtisville is less convincing than Armbrust in whatever game you're playing of imaginary places that are not things.

[dodint]

I was going to say Rusellton but dialed it back for your benefit. No winning with you.

[Silentom]

Deer Creek Diner is ****.

[dodint]

Kitchy **** or ebola ****?

How would it compare, say, to Christy's in Ellwood City?

[slappybrown]

Sure, then we can to Donnyburgh or Jamesville or Bobbytown next

[Silentom]

Ebola ****. It's the only place I've ever eaten that microwaved their homefries.

[dodint]

Do you remember if they take credit cards?

[Silentom]

Not sure - think I paid with cash.

[dodint]

I'm trying to look at the door on StreetView but there are so many pick-up trucks in the way.
