Ain't that the truth Reb? We rarely went out as Dad's philosophy was "we have food at home". He was right. We had plenty of pork, lamb, chicken, eggs and beef along with all the fruits and vegetables he and Mom froze or canned. When we did and I was young it was a treat, going places like The Airport, The Lobster House, The Fish House or The Hot Fish Shop in Winona. It also included The Flame, The 7th Rib and The Branding Iron. Now I tend to order stuff I don't get often at home like ribs, seafood, or sometimes chicken. With Fareway and the local meat market handy, steaks are better coming off our grill than what's available in local restaurants. Charcoal & some extra wood smoke makes them tough to beat.  :happy1:

Exactly! We did all the same places....Fish house was my favorite, followed by Walters's Flame. I still have postcards from the Fish House and Walters Flame from the 60's...that they used to have by the cash register. Just for you...a trip back in time... :smiley:

Wow. That place closed some time back in the 70's didn't it? Was always kinda dark in there at night as I recall. Now that del has given me the OK to eat lots of saturated fat, I need to dust off my rumaki recipe. The Lobster House used to have that appetizer. Amazing what can be done with a water chestnut, a strip of bacon and a hunk of chicken liver!  :happy1:

We used to do the 7th Rib in Racine at least once a year too. Most of the time it was closer to home at Lansing Corners & where we could BYOB

Lansing Corners reopened a year or so back now. Have eaten there a couple times with the car club. Decent but the service the last time wasn't great. Took forever to get our bill straight. Have my eyes on the Little Dandy east of Le Center for a Stude cruise this summer. Talked to a local when he was in the other day. Said the food is great but they give you way too much of it. Good to know.  :happy1:

The Lobster House pictured on the postcard burned down then they rebuilt it. As far as I remember it was always The Lobster House, located on 16 & 63 west of Spring Valley. One of the Pappas family owned it at one time. It's closed for good now and someone lives there. 4 Daughters Winery is across the road to the south and east of it.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Wifey was working late on Easter flowers last nite, mostly lilies so I was left to my own devices. Finished pruning the pear trees so naturally I had to grill with some of the wood. Could be crappy, windy and cold tonite. Besides, Mrs. Cheviot will likely try to take advantage of me so need to keep my stamina up!  :surrender: :bonk:

Half of Easter diner is done. A pork shoulder with my rub and smoked with cherry and hickory. It's wrapped in a towel for the night waiting to be pulled in the morning. I have another shoulder that will be done in the oven for the nonsmoke people.

That sounds great Dotch.  What kind of weiners do you cook?  When I was with the Rod and Gun Club we did Ambassador weiners with onions and beer.
