Fat Tony's

Lynn found an article in the Avalanche Journal newspaper featuring Fat Tony's, we just HAD to go! I mean, who can resist a Chicago Style Hot Dog?! Okay, you caught me, I have never had a Chicago Style hot dog, but it sounded DELICIOUS!

Fat Tony's is located on Main & Ave J.

Open Monday-Friday for 8:00-5:00 p.m.

The atmosphere at Fat Tony's is very welcoming. Tony himself works there on a daily basis and is the first to welcome you in. He made Lynn and I feel like his #1 guests.

The kitchen is in the open, so you can see how your food is being prepared... Being OCD about the preparation of food and cleanliness myself, I was very pleased with everything... Which is rarely the case, where ever I eat.

Lynn and I split two entrees.

We , of course, ordered the Chicago Style Hot Dog with Fries. Our second order was the Meatball Sandwich with Onion Rings.

OH MY DEAR GOODNESS... the food was wonderful, but the Onion Rings brought home the Gold, they were absolutely scrumptious!

After we scarfed down our food, Lynn went over to talk to Fat Tony about the Onion Rings... hoping to get the recipe I suppose?! He didn't give away any secrets, but he was so nice, he remembered our entire order and made sure we enjoyed every bit of it! Oh, and we did!!!

Lynn and I gave Fat Tony's a 5 out if 5! YUMMY!

Though, we would like to say that this place is a working-mans lunch stop, it has no highchairs for lil ones and has only two-seater tables (which can be pulled together), 14 tables altogether.

We'd like to share our experience with some pictures... Enjoy!

We will definitely be eating here again!

Bon Apetite,

Lynn & Jenn

Angela's Cafe

Today for lunch Lynn and I had decided to eat at Angela's Cafe. We invited two of our friends, Nan and Amy to come along. None of us had ever eaten at Angela's Cafe, so we were all super excited to check it out.

Angela's Cafe is located at 2705-A 26th Street (26th & Boston).
They are open for breakfast and lunch from 6:00am-2:30pm, Monday-Saturday. They also offer Catering, Free Tech Terrace Delivery, and Private Party Rentals.

If you like homemade food, this is the place for you.

The four of us were hooked when we walked in the door. The place was so cute, with a little built-in loft that holds a few two-seater tables. The whole cafe seats anywhere from 30-40 people at a time.

Lynn, Amy, and I had the "Tank" Sandwich, which was grilled chicken breast, swiss cheese, green chilis, and tomato on a hoagie roll with choice of one side (soup, fruit, or salad).

I ate mine with fruit, Lynn had Broc-Cheese soup, and Amy had Tomato soup. ALL OF IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!

Nan had the Spinach & Feta Quiche with a side salad. She too said it was Delicious!

We all finished lunch by splitting the "Brookie", a half brownie/half cookie delightful treat... YUM!

Angela's also has a "Frequent Diner Card", buy 10 sandwiches and get 1 FREE!

Lynn and I give Angela's Cafe a 4 (1 being poor - 5 being excellent).
We would have given them a 5, but we had to wait awhile for our food... Remember, we only have an hour for lunch... we were a few minutes late getting back to work.

We recommend calling ahead so that your food is ready when you get there.

We hope you'll consider Angela's Cafe. You won't regret it!

Bon Apetite,
