Greek dancing, live music going onall day long, and there's even a

wife Anna there. I mean,he has his sons in the business.
Everybody it seems like that has grownup around Phelippe, brothers, aunts,

(06:55):
uckles. They all have had restaurantsor own restaurants or work at restaurants.
Really amazing how many that core family, the Feridle Early family, how many
restaurants they have been really responsible for, you know. And one of the
finest, Lutia Restaurant in Winchester.This is modeled right after as far as
the food is concerned, from hisoriginal restaurant, his very first restaurant they

(07:17):
still own to this day on HanoverStreet by the same name, Lucia's,
and in Winchester he brought out hewas like the first one to bring out
that North End style of Italian foodout to the burbs and it took off
back in nineteen eighty six. That'show long it's been around. And it's

(07:38):
really absolutely amazing that's been around forthat long if you think about it,
and going strong. Most restaurants,you know, they have their peaks and
valleys, but not not a Lucia's. He has just done a fantastic job
to keep revitalizing energizing it. Filipois one of those people that always likes

(07:59):
to remodel the restaurant, do thingsdifferent. He'll come in the middle of
night start tiling the floor. Acouple of years ago he took out the
windows in the front of the restaurant, the windows and walls, and he
made it so on a hot daythey can open up the windows right and
still enjoy some nice cool breezes thatthey come in a little bit later on.
It's really nice. I feel likeyou're dining in Italy is what is.

(08:20):
But that's what Felipo does. Youknow, he really keeps up on
the time and his food. Wellthat's what keeps people coming back time and
time again. Now there's plenty ofparking. There's meter parking spots right there.
In addition to that, there isa couple of municipal parking lots just
steps away, so it's really easyto get to a restaurant. I highly
recommend you go out and try,and I absolutely love it. Lucia Restaurant,

Thank you. So tell me,do you got a favorite restaurant in your
own town that you want to sharewith everybody? Yeah, there's in East

(14:50):
Watertown. There's a lot of greatrestaurants, and the one that jumps to
mind is Thai Thai food called ChaYen Tai. Okay, I'm not familiar
with that guy. Tell me allabout it. I love Taie Food.
Yeah, it's it's you know,a little storefront in East Watertown, right
near my favorite pizza shop and allthat. And it's been there a while

(15:13):
and the food is absolutely incredible,and they can't there's feeding, you know,
a nice restaurant, small restaurant side, but then the side where they
do a lot of takeout business.You can watch everybody cooking, you know,
so you know it's open. Imean, not that that's really important,
but you know when they have theopen cooking, you know, your

(15:35):
food is is good. Yeah,you know, it's also a little bit
of a show at the same time. I enjoy that. I like the
open kitchen concepts. Yeah. Yeah, And they're great people and the food
is my favorites are well, theyhave these curries, but they have a
mild curry because I don't like thereal spicy curry because it can't taste anything

(15:56):
with too much spice to touch spike. So they have like a mild pineapple
curry. And you can get yourchoice of protein, you know, if
you're vegetarian, you can get tofu. But then they have shrimp and then
the chickens and whatever else. Yeah, and I have a grilled Yeah.
I was gonna say, how isthe how is the parking there? Oh?

(16:22):
Well, parking in East Watertown ispretty easy. There are some meters,
but they you know, they don'tseem to get go with them in
this area because it's such a familyshopping you know, not family but neighborhood
shopping area. But there's parking onall the side streets. Most are not

(16:45):
meters. And in Watertown two hoursthere's no problem, you know, in
people for longer, there's in thisneighborhood. There's like one a couple of
streets that have meters. But youknow that I'm trying to think because I'm
just so used to it. Igrew up here, so you know,

(17:06):
I know all the streets where youcan you don't have to be park and
there is a main there's a CVSa few blocks a couple of block down
that has a big parking lot,so there is like, you know,
if you need a lot, there'sa big parking lot. Yeah. And
the good news is they were closedthrough the fourth of July. They have
reopened today. So if you're havethat craven for some time food, it

(17:32):
sounds like the place to go.Yeah, it's it's the food. It's
just exceptional. And they have grilledthese grilled vegetables that like you can taste
the you know, the asparagus andmushroom. It's they're just they're just great.
Yeah, Okay, I really likethe restaurants like and I know type
restaurants really take that extra time forthe vegetables, you know, and I

(17:55):
don't know what they do to makeit a little bit different, but I
find it to be tastier. Yeah, I do too. And you can
you know, they leave enough ofthe crunch there. They don't. You
know, they're not cooked too much. Yeah, it's not too it's not
cooked too little. It's not cookedtoo much. It isn't that perfect sweet
spot. And you know a lotof restaurants, you know, just gonna
steam them whatever they're going to dowith them. They're vegetables there. You

(18:18):
know, they're okay. But there'ssomething about it. I don't know if
they add any types of spices toit or not. I don't think they
do it. Just it just seemsthat the freshness just seems to pop out
on those vegetables. Yeah. Yeah, and just yeah, and just one
other things East to Watertown has aton of small, really great places.

(18:40):
You know, I'm Armenian, andthere's a lot. I feel bad not
telling about a Middle Eastern restaurant,but there's you know, it's like this
great little place to visit for alot of different culture foods. Yeah,
and I like a lot of townslike you know. Cambridge has a lot
as well in that area. Lynnhas a whole bunch of different type of
ethnic cuisines than small little shop.I love. I love that because it

(19:03):
gives you such diversity and you canexperience so many different flavors just steps away
from each other. And it's it'sso unique when you get those places.
All right, But let's tell everybodyso they go out and try this if
they're like me, if they lovety food. I know my wife loves

love thy food myself as well.I've always tried to find the perfect pad

(19:49):
tie. And years ago, andI told this story. Years ago,
there was a restaurant in Haveril.It was one of those spots where I
think they said up all their moneyto open up their own little place,
and it really struggled and they reallycouldn't make it and in time, but
we went there. They probably openedfor about I don't know, three four

(20:10):
years maybe, and I thought theyhad the best pad tie anywhere. And
to this day, I still whenI think about that restaurant, and because
I love pad tie, There's beenno restaurant to ever match it. And
it was sad when they closed.This had to be about I don't know

(20:30):
about almost a decade ago to atthis point, but I'm always in search
of the best pad tie ever andI'll go to the ends of the earth
to find it. All Right,thank you very much for your phone call.

(20:51):
We got a question on the board. We are looking for a restaurant that's
no more than about twenty to thirtyminutes from the Arlington area. That's more
of an you know, an upscale, nice restaurant, no TV's on the
wall, that type of a placefor a caller that's looking to get a
gift card there to give out tosomebody. So if you could help me

(21:12):

how the show has always worked togiving people recommendation. So twenty to thirty
minutes outside of the Burlington area isfine. You know, you know a
place like the Bancroft, although they'vebeen to the Bancroft, that's why they
you know, they're not looking togo there again, but that style of
restaurant. So if you can helpme out. Eight eight eight four three

out to the Dom Sauce Company.I mentioned that they have Boston Salad prepared
foods. They have those side dishesthere. You can pick them up there.
They're located in Malden. It's owneroperated by the Bott of Shelley family.

(32:08):
I had to Dom on last night'sradio show Wickabites at Night on WRK.
We do it on Saturdays from fiveto six pm, and we were
talking about his marinated meats that hedoes there and you know the process and
why it's so so good and sospecial, and the fact that you could,
you know, buy a pack fromhim, cook it on your own

(32:30):
grill, don't have a grill,cook it in a pan, and you
can stack it up against any restaurantout there. It is that good.
I am not kidding, and Ialways say just don't buy one. You
buy two or three packages and throwthe other ones because they're vacuum sealed in
the freezer. That way, youknow, when you're hungry and you're looking

(32:51):
for something, you could find apackage of gold right there in your freezer.
It's so so good. And theydo a lot of catering as well,
but they're pretty much filled up forthe summer. But if you're thinking
about making a backyard party or evenan office party something special, Dom's catering
department can do that. They gotthe trucks, they got the grills,
they got the cook masters, andof course most importantly, they bring their
marinated meats there. To find outmore about their catering, you could always

(33:15):
call Dom Sausage Company, ten RiversidePark in Maldon at seven eight one three
two four thirteen ten. That's seveneight, one, three, two,
four, thirteen ten, And againthanks Dom for coming on the radio show
yesterday. I do do appreciate that. It's just really a great place.
And they've been around, I don'tknow, boy eighty years now under the

(33:37):
same family, and it's going strong. It's really amazing how well they are
doing the China Blossom in North Endover. They are the critics' choice for the
best Chinese suasine north of Boston.They do have an all you can eat
buffet, talk about that all thetime. They do it for lunch and

(33:59):
they do it for dinner seven daysa week. But they also have a
regular menue, so if you wantto sit down there and you know,
and order things off their menu.There's some great food that they have.
Their lemon chicken I love. It'sa chicken breast that's lightly topped with this
lemon sauce. It's a little onthe sweeter side, but it is.
It is excellent. Happy family.Another one of my favorites, of course,
that's triump chicking, a little bitof pork sauteed with vegetables. Great,

(34:23):
great to enjoy with the entire family. Right. What you do is,
you know, sit down with acouple of friends at China Blossom,
right, if you don't want todo the buffet, just order a couple
of dishes, you know, andthat's the best way to do it.
They also do tons of takeout,and they have been doing comedy this summer
in their in their lounge, whichis really, you know, sort of

(34:47):
amazing if you think about it,because normally during the summertime, especially on
the Burbs, you don't see alot of the comedy places going because it's
hard to get you know, peoplein, But this year they've been doing
it. They've been doing quite willThey were sold out the other day.
I guess you go over to theirwebsite, the China Blossoms website and get

(35:07):
more information on their comedy shows.But I would highly recommend it. They
do trivia on Wednesday that you'll findme at the bar every once in a
while and join the my Tai andI get the buffet. I love their
prim riy on that dinner buffet.And then on Friday they do a little
bit of acoustical music in their loungeas well. So a lot of things
happen at China Blossom Route one twentyfive in North end Over now our television

(35:29):
shows Wikabites TV. It's Saturday morningsat eight thirty and Sunday nights at ten
pm. So you got an opportunityto see yesterday's show. We took you
out to the SeaGlass in Salisbury andit really truly is amazing. Now I
grew up, I had to belate. Yeah, I would say mid

(35:49):
to late seventies on Salisbury Beach.You know, that's where we live,
right right there on North End Boulevard, about maybe a mile mile and a
half tops from what we used tocall The Center. I don't know if
they still call it the Center.I still do because it's it's been,
you know, part of my bloodsince I was a child. Remember when
they had the Ferris wheels up therein the Haunted House, and even like

(36:10):
a Monday was like the busiest Saturdaynight you ever see back then. But
as the crowds waned off and everythingkind of died away, and you know,
I moved away and didn't go backfor many, many years. And
I know they kept Tripoli's and Christie's, the Pizza, the Beach Pizza.
They seem to go strong, andthey just so slowly shrunk and shrunk and
trunk uh, and then the SeaGlass which was in it. I remember

(36:37):
the folks might remember the five o'clocklounge that got destroyed during North Easter years
and years oh gosh, that hadbeen twenty five thirty years ago. And
right next to in that whole area, this is where that SeaGlass restaurant is,
and they have this beautiful, fancyrestaurant with of course it's it's really

(36:58):
sitting out at high tide in thewater. It's just spectacular. And then
right next door to it they haveanother one, a restaurant that's more outdoor
dining and it's more of a casualfair menu and a lot of fun.
They got some entertainment that goes onover there. So they've done really well
over the last decade or so withdining in that area, and they're opening
year round at least the Sea Glasses. I'm not sure about the other one,

(37:22):
whether they open that because it's outdoors, you know. But Seaglasses a
great restaurant. The food was outstanding, some of the drinks, and of
course you can't beat the atmosphere whenyou go in there as well. So
I'd recommend it. And you getan opportunity to see it on the television
show tonight at ten pm on Nessen. Set your DVR that way you don't

(37:42):
miss a single episode of the show. And another place that we featured out
on the Cape. We for yearswhen we start talking about best lobsters,
wait, can you go out andfind them? Right? We get tons
of recommendations all over the place,but one place kept getting them time and
time time again, and that's theRaw Bar on the Cape. And I

(38:04):
had an opportunity to sit down withBobby Weeks and discover it for myself.
And you got the view there becausehe's right there in Hyanna's Harbor, and
the lobsters are just they're loaded.And I have to agree with our callers,
and I'm glad I took the timeto go out to the Cape and
forced down a lobster roll, right. I always say on the televis show

(38:24):
when I'm out there filming with thecamera crew and everybody, I said,
all right, you can bring homeeverything unless it's lobster. Lobster because that's
one of my favorites. Or barbecue. Now, those are the two that
I struggle with, you know,not finishing off myself, but if you
want a great lobster roll, I'llrecommend the raw Bar out on the Cape.

patio dining. I don't know ifthat that they have that at both locations.

(47:39):
I'm looking at their website right nowreally quickly, but they let me
let me see if there's any differencebetween the two. It's it's hard for
me to look this up and thenreally quick for you. I'm not seeing
much information right now. But itsounds like a nice little stop. And
this is one of those places thatyou don't hear about unless you get a
call or like sand that calls inand talks about it. Because there are

(48:00):
smaller places, they don't really havethose marketing companies that go out there and
push them and say what will makesthem so special and whether it's that way
or not. A lot a lotof these marketing companies, they're paid to
make these places look special. Buta color like Sandy says this is the
place that I go to. Itrust Sandy, right, Joe sent me

(48:20):
and Walthamin and Cambridge. It lookslike a great place to go out and
enjoy some great food, all right, all right? Eight eight eight four
three four sixty four sixty four.Another great place I could send you to
is Premiere on Broadway. It's locatedright there in Summerville, and corin will
probably greet you right at the door. If you love chicken parmesan, you
got to try it theirs. It'sGrandma's recipe. It's probably one of their

(48:45):
top selling items, and one forthe size. It's a big portion,
but it's so so good. Ilove the atmosphere at Premiere in Broadway.
On nice days, they're going toopen up those garage windows and not all
that beautiful airflow in and the firstthing you see is the lounge area.
So you get lounge with seating allaround that and out back they have their

(49:06):
own showroom and they put on music, comedy. They do a whole bunch
in that showroom. It's a greatshowroom. One of the top restaurants I
think in the area. Premiere onBroadway. You're gonna love it. And
make sure you try Grandma's aren cheeniea little bit of cheese in. It's
just excellent. All right, Premiereon Broadway here, Corinne. When you

(49:27):

called the Revolution tap Room and Grill, and they have a I'm gonna call
him a celebrity chef. He workedwith Anthony Bourdain, Julia Childs, helped
put together their cookbooks and stuff likethat. Worked for some a big hotel

(51:57):
chain for many many years. Decidedto retire in about three days into retirements
that I'm not ready to retire.So he decided to just take the job
and become and you know, becomea chef and run a restaurant. And
he did that and turn this restaurant, I think into a gold mine in
Rochester, New Hampshire. I justthink the food is just outstanding and it's
it could be American cuisine, itcould be Thaie cuisine. They could do

(52:22):
Roben noodles, they'll do they'll dopizzas. They make their own pizzas.
They got their own a wood ovenor would I'm not even sure we call
it an oven, but you'll seeit when you walk in. It's like
a like a big dome igloo withthe wood gives that pizza that extra special,
that char on it and that taste. It's called again the Revolutionary tap

(52:44):
Room and Grill. And of courseI think they have like thirty beers on
tap and upstairs and downstairs. Theatmosphere is great too, but the food's
outstanding. And they're located in downtownRochester, New Hampster. So congratulations,

hour. We're gonna go over toJamaica Plane and we're gonna talk with Mark.
Mark. Welcome to Wickbite. Thanks, it's good to be here,
are you. Thanks for calling it. I'm doing fantastic today now. The
weather is nice and warm and atsummary right. Oh yeah, yeah,
don't need a coat today. Yeah, that's for sure. You need a

(54:15):
pool, is what you need?Mark. What's your favorite restaurant in your
town? Oh, there's this placecalled the Joint that just opened up three
or four years ago, which iskind of new by Boston standards, and
it's a new American place. Andyou can go there at nine o'clock in
the morning and get anomalate or goat seven o'clock at night and get a
steak. It's one of those,like all three meal restaurants. It's really

(54:35):
nice. Yeah, I like that. Yeah for breakfast, I like that.
Whether you got a lot of opportunitiesto go in throughout the day right
and enjoy it. Yeah. Yeah, you can go in at eleve o'clock
in the morning and get a burgeror first thing in the morning and get
anomalate. It's nice. And whenyou go in there, what do you
get? Do you got? Yougotta go to item that you really love.

(54:57):
Yeah, there they are pizzas.I'm bored of pepperoni, but their
organic pepperoni pizza is really good.And what's the difference in the organic pepperoni.
It just tastes more like a freshsausage than than a lunch meat.
It's just it's just like very veryflavorful. You know. If you go
to like a normal place like oneof the Greek pizza shops, the pepperoni

(55:19):
all tastes the same, but there'sactually taste like a smoke sausage and it's
very delicious. Yeah, homemade sauceis really good too. Yeah. And
is it a thinner cut or isit a little bit thicker cut? The
pepperoni, it's still pretty thin,but it's still it's still very flavorful.
They slice it thin, but it'sstill good. Yeah, if you if
you do it right. And I'vebeen to a few places that just specialize

(55:44):
in that pepperoni. And you know, years ago, I didn't think there
was a difference, right, Itseemed like we all got the same pepperoni,
we got used to it, andthen all of a sudden they they
really improved. I think that thequality of pepperoni and a place invests in
time and some money into it,there is a world of difference. Oh
yeah, yeah, yeah, Andyou said the Joint is one of those

(56:06):
places that has that, right,right, they have. They have a
good cocktail selection too. Unfortunately,only have four taps, so it's not
not for the beer lover, butthey make some pretty well cocktails at night
too. And their bread putting dessertis awesome. Oh okay, all right,
so what what time of the day. What do we expect you to
see you in there? Are yougoing to be a morning bird? You're

(56:28):
gonna be a late night owl,probably going around lunchtime for the pizza.
But the omelets are good too.I've had the Farmers onlet that's really good.
I mean, I like the nametoo. I think that the name
is cool to the joint and it'sright there in Jamaica Plane and they open
up what nine, eight nine inthe morning, and they stay open till

(56:50):
ten at night, So you gotplenty of time to go in there and
enjoyed lunch, breakfast, dinner,you name it. You could do it
all there. Yeah, parking couldbe tough, but there's a block away.
But parking on Center Street is verytough. Yeah, yeah, it
is just I guess just take alittle bit of time, right, yeah,
and just keep going around here.There's a lot of block like that's

(57:12):
free. Yeah. And this timeof year, it's not a problem.
You're not running because it's you canhandle the heat and walk. But when
you get that wind blowing at fortymiles an hour in the middle of the
winter time, you want to parkas close as you can. So you
got plenty of time now in thesummertime. Did to walk a block or
two to get into the place.Yeah, it's nice, I mean,

Dudley Pond on Cress Street railand andyeah, it's been around a long time.
It's a it's a neighborhood, soat a bar our restaurant place.
They do have outside tiny but it'svery informal. I think basically if you
go in your bathing suits to Chianaand it's very old house on the pond

(01:01:00):
and in the winter if you goyou have to transform because it's it's drafty.
But it's a beautiful view of thepond and the ice of the lake
and the food is really really good. And and again as far as their
menu is concerned, what would youexplain what can people expect at the chateau?

(01:01:20):
What is their menu range from?Is it mainly an American cuisine.
Yes, they have something like sometimesthey have chili, the hamburgers, hot
Diggs fries, chicken wings, onions, soup, very American. They have
fright clams. I think this semiyear. But it's it's very very rustic,

(01:01:43):
and it's just it's an old neighboras you know, old neighborhood.
Barron folklore rumor has it it isan old speakeasy. That is fun.
It's just fun, different, veryinformal. Yeah. Now the back you're
talking about the back and the pond. Do they have a lot of tables

(01:02:04):
out back where you could dine outsideon the patio? Yeah, they do.
I think there's about maybe maybe sevento ten tables. So good a
place, all right. It's calledthe Douvely Chateau. It's located on Crest
Road, twentieth Crest Road in aCochituate, Massachusetts. So it's situated.

(01:02:29):

They had a lot of storm damage. Like a lot of restaurants in
the in the Merrimack Valley did overthose of the fall last year with all

(01:04:00):
the rain that we had, anduh, they were actually that was in
the process they were they were talkingabout tearing it down and building I think
townhouses or apartments in the back,and then they were going to rebuild the
restaurant on that property in Route onetwenty five. But when this happened,
it forced the restaurant to shut downand they decided to open up up a
location. I can't think of thename of the it's in downtown Haber,

(01:04:25):

was a it was a pizza andItalian restaurant. Uh, yeah, that
was that was under the same ownersOblivia. Yes, yep, Yeah,

experiences when you go in there.First of all, the atmosphere is so
unique and you just don't just don'tlook at the walls. You know,

there's more, look at the ceiling. Flipo even decorates the ceilings and all
the rooms and all the stuff thathe puts into He wants you to feel
like you're dining in Italy, youknow, and that's what he has accomplished,
and it has been one of thoserestaurants that is an absolute must in
the North End of Boston. They'reopen seven days a week for lunch and
dinner. I recommend their Boston Garden, which is the vial Parmesan with a

(01:09:47):
thin layer of eggplant on top.It is so so good. So if
you want, you know, somegreat Italian food, great atmosphere and a
place to take nice leisurely walk,well, Felipo's is that place. And
there's a municipal parking garage like stepsaway. So the best time to go

(01:10:08):
is when there's no games. Youknow, at the garden, you can
park easy. You walk into therestaurant and then enjoy the sights and the
sounds and the flavors of the NorthEnd. And Felipo Restaurant is one of

Scott, thank you for taking mycalls. Good morning. I just have
to tell you that I am fromthe North Shore originally and I moved to

(01:19:41):
Hampton forty years ago and we justmoved up to Wakefield, New Hampshire,
and I can't believe I never knewabout this restaurant. It's called the Naughty
Pine Grill in Tavern, Okay,and it's on Pine River Road in Wakefield,
and they have the best pizza Ihave ever had anything? What makes

(01:20:04):
it the best pizza you've ever had? They I don't know where they're getting.
My boyfriend was in the business andhe seems to think that there's a
crust company that's out of the Bostonarea. That service is some of the
better pizza houses. But their crustis awesome and they use various types of
cheeses. Their cheese pizza is thebest, but you can get obviously other

(01:20:27):
things on it. But they havethe best pizza. But the good thing
about this restaurant you can go highend or pizza. They have a range
of food in there and everything isdelicious. I ought to seafood in here.
A lot they'll have like a scallopor a salmon, you know,
special whatever they've they've kind of giventheir shift, I guess, a free
range to you know, do specialsof whatever he wants to do. And

(01:20:51):
he does a fabulous shob. Idon't even know who he is, but
he's he's wonderful. A couple fromI guess Auburn bought the restaurant a couple
of years ago from what I understand, and they are killing it up here.
It's a great place to go forsteaks, uh, seafood, sandwiches,

(01:21:12):
you know, appetizers and drinks orpizza. It's you know, obviously
we don't have that much up here. Well, if you have a place
that has great pizza, I mean, like like you're saying, off the
chart pizza, it's going to getyou going in there. And that's one
of those items, especially if youhave a kid. Sometimes you go out
you know, you have kids,are a little bit older. You'll have
dinner and you'll bring home with pizza. Yeah, you can't go wrong.

(01:21:36):
No, it's perfect naughty, naughtytime grill and tavern. It's located in
Sanbornville, Newmakefield. Sounds sounds likea great, great, great take.
Thank you very much Diane for yourphone call weekend too. All right,

(01:21:59):
you doing? I'm doing that,Brenda. I grew up. I grew
up in Land that lived in Swampskopfor a little while now. But I
love the Blueog. They they alot of people don't know. They have
like a happy hour for appetizers,and the appetisers are great, Like I
think it's Monday through Thursday from fourto six, and they have a great
Mexican Mexican street corn, chicken wings, like all kinds of appetizers that are

(01:22:27):
are have priced during or during thathappy hour. And the oysters, which
I love, which is on ahalfshell, those are those are only a
dollar. Wow. Yeah, Ilove it when those restaurants have those.
I'm not a big oyster fan,but it seems like places that have that
those specials for a dollar. Uh, they're packed during those hours because either
love oysters you hate it. It'sbut they'll go, they'll try. They'll

(01:22:50):
try a lot of places, especiallyif it's only a dollar apiece. Yep,
yep. The rest of the appetisersare really good too. All right,
let's tell everybody the name of therestaurant again, the Blue Wark,
and where are they located, SarrenLynn on Monroe Street. Got it all
right? Thank you very much foryour phone call. Sounds like a great

(01:23:13):
take, especially if you love oysters. I know Joe Fishing North andover they
do the dollar oysters or is ithalf price on oysters or something like that
on Tuesday and all day long.And the parking lot is always always packed
on Tuesdays. Let's go to hfil next in and hey, pill,
welcome, good morning, Scott,belated fourth of July to you. Thank

(01:23:36):
you. Uh. I'm in thefillin right at the Salem ne Hampshire line.
So we go Salem up Roughte twentyeight a lot and there's a restaurant
there that I thought was new,but it's actually just reopened, uh with
a new name. It's called BayRudy. So you know the city of
Bay Route let it on with aneye at the end Bay Rudy and uh

(01:24:00):
used to be Joscelyn's. Yes,okay, yep, yes, So going
north it's on the right hand sideright after you and or save in New
Hampshire, and you know, plentyof parking and everything. And they it's
it's you know, if you likeMiddle East and food, it's excellent that
the menu is the same. Uh. The food is the same, the

(01:24:20):
cook is the same, the owneris the same. It's just you know,
they the couple, they don't.It's split. So the husband reopened
this as and called the stout calledDeir Rudy. But they have plenty of
appetizers, mostly Middle East and youknow stuff grape leaves, kibbi, homeless

(01:24:41):
and kabuli and all that nice foodthere. And they're in their main courses.
Uh. You know, I usuallyget stuffed grape leaves or kibbi because
I'm you know, upt Middle East, and so that's I love that food.
And uh. They also have lambkebobs, beef kebobs, chicken kebobs,
lamp chops. Uh, and Iknow you like uh buckles, They

(01:25:06):
have to at least a vision ofbuckle. Yeah, they called buck loowie.
I think the Middle Easterns used pistachionuts instead of walnuts, I think,
yeah, so I think that isthe difference, right, Yeah,
So anyways, it's it. It'sit's not as much as it used to
be. That one half of thatbuilding now they have as a a vape

(01:25:29):
kind of establishment. Yeah. Iwas going to ask you that because I
drove by it the other day andI noticed that it was a restaurant.
Again. I I thought it wasmaybe a cigar lounge or something that that
opened up. So it's basically wherethe lounge was is no longer part of
the restaurant, correct, Yeah,with the lounge was is now the the

(01:25:54):
vape establishment. And and it's totallyblocked off from the restaurant. So the
left side of the building is nowjust the restaurant. It's got the you
know, not that large, it'sgot the long, straight bar with maybe
thirty seats at the bar and aboutyou know, ten tables. But they
do cater to the takeout crowd too. They established part of the menu they're

(01:26:18):
called bowls. It's like a ricebowl with the selection of meat or a
tree to go into the bowl.And it's very convenient for our takeout,
and the prices are very reasonable.I don't think they increased their prices from
three years ago that that, youknow, when they were lost open.
So I now I have a feelingbecause it's smaller, it may be on

(01:26:42):
certain nights of the week harder toget into because there's always a popular restaurant
anyways. Yeah, well since itrecently reopened, I don't think the words
get out there yet because the twotimes I've been there, this has not
been a weight. So you know, assuming you get in there, the
better, I guess. Like Isaid, the owners in the Cooks are

(01:27:04):
the same. His name is Richardas the owner, and you know Joscelyn
since moved and opened a couple ofnew restaurants in the Filling Salem area as
well. So uh, that's anotheralternative. I haven't tried her restaurants yet.
Yeah, I haven't either. Sheinvited me to go up to her

(01:27:25):
new place. I can't all ofa sudden, I can't think of the
top of my head the name ofthe restaurant. But it's good to know
that you know that that they areyou know that the same people that ran
up before are now behind de Rudersbecause it's something that you you know,
it's definitely definitely worth trying, uhand going out. And I have a
feeling that it's gonna be a popularspot because it has been for many,

(01:27:47):
many years. I just think theyneed to get the word out to say
they're really back. Yeah. Goodlocation, plenty of parking. Uh.
You know, in the family isbasically split up, right, So Richard
has bay Ruddy and his father andbrother cooks, and Jocelyn has her I

(01:28:08):
think they're called she had a newpartner. I think it's called seven Jocelyn
by seven March. That's in Semar, that's it, yep. Yeah.
And and her father Gabby still cooks, helps cook. Yeah, so you
know they So there's different options inmy area. I highly recommend those if
you especially if you're like Middle eastanfood. All right, bay rudis again

(01:28:30):
they're looking at her twenty eight.I would say probably if you were going
north, maybe another two miles tothe Tuscan village. If that, you'll
find them right next to the longjewelers that's in there. There's a there's
a jeweler that's been there forever jewelers. Yes, yes, yeah, yep,

(01:28:51):
all right, so I'll have togo out and try it. It's
called bay Rudi's. I met atraining restaurant at three point fifty five South
Broadway, Salem, New Hampshire.Again that's Route twenty eight. Phil.
Thank you very much for your phonecall. You're welcome stuff, have a
good day. Thank you. Itwas good. It was great to hear
a little bit too about the restaurantand that nearly it's Jocelyn's husband that's still

Monica, welcome to Wickabites on thisSunday morning. Yes, yes, my
mother said I had to call inso listen to you guys all the time.
But I just definitely want to justgive a shout out to Tono and

(01:34:25):
Wakefield because you know, we livein this town and there's not really many
options here, but if you wantreally good seafood and consistent fresh seafood,
you can't go wrong there. Also, what I love about it is,
you know, I don't have togo into Boston or to Gloucester to get
that kind of like that atmosphere.It is a really nice atmosphere of patio

(01:34:47):
music and again the food is absolutelydelicious, and if you don't like seafood,
you always have the other options likethe classic Italian dishes like a parmesan
or a veal salt and Boca ribbi, so there's options for everyone. My
kids love it. You know,they have a nice kids menu, as
my five year old's trying to talkto me. But what they have also

(01:35:12):
that we love as from four tofive you get the one dollar oysters.
Is that night? Is that everyday? I think it's every day.
I know for sure it's Fridays,but I'm not sure you'd have to go
to their site. But that's onething my sister is always calling me to
get there by four just because that. You can't go wrong with the dollar
Oyster and uh again, just thequality, you know. I know they

(01:35:34):
have one. I think the firstone was in Gloucester and it's still there.
This is a larger venue and rightnow what They also have a cool
like New England summer kind of menu. It's a seafood night. I'm not
sure if that's every day, butlike you can get a fried clan,
lobsterols, steamers, stuff like that. We also had a family party there.

(01:35:57):
They have cool venue where you cankind of block off one side of
the restaurant and everybody just loved it. So I recommend it, okay,
and you don't have to go farall right. Tono's again, they're located.
They got two locations and this isthe Wakefield location, but there's also
one in Gloucester Monica, thank youat all. I think they also own
the Blue Ox, but they do. It's like three and Pretza North End.

(01:36:21):
I've never been there, but again, very good. Highly recommend it,
and you can never go wrong.The seafood is always consistent. My
favorite dish is the Shopino. Notsure if I'm pronouncing that correctly. I
should because I'm Italian, but highlyrecommend it. I got it, Monica,
Thank you very much for your phonecall. All right, I'm gonna
