four sixty four sixty four. Again. My name is Scott Wiley. This

(03:21):
moments out and give us a phonecall today on the program and kick things
off. Eight eight four three foursixty four sixty four is our number.
A couple of words about Wicked Bitesat nights here on Saturday nights here on
WRKO from five to six pm.Yesterday we had the folks on from fire

(03:42):
Element. Saturday was a Small BusinessSaturday, so I focused a couple of
businesses on that program. One bein Bedrooms on Route one South in PVD.
They are incredible folks. If youhaven't been in there, they have
like all your betting needs for kidsto adults, nurseries right onto the seniors.

(04:02):
They have those silly eye comfort bedsyou know that also have the adjustable
bases that are so cool, bothfor the kids and the grandkids. They're
bunk beds. I've never seen anythinglike it. First of all, they're
all hardwoods, so they're great materialthat they make there. But the bunk
beds are like castles, you know. Some of them are covered, some

(04:26):
have slides coming down, and somehave steps that go up to the upper
bunk and the steps themselves are actuallydrawers so you could put clothing in there.
So it's a great way to usespace. You know, if I
was a kid, I'd probably nevercome out of the bedroom. It is
so cool. So if you wantto see all that, just head on
over to Bedrooms Route one South andPeevity. They were featured on Wicked Bites

(04:47):
at Night last Saturday night or yesterday, I should say here on the radio,
and I know they have a setupavailable and I think zero percent financing
is also available at bedrooms as well. And I also had an opportunity on
Small Business Saturday to sit down withthe folks from fire Elements Root one Northbound

(05:09):
in Saugus, and I'm gonna doa Facebook live there tomorrow, probably around
over eleven thirty twelve o'clock tomorrow tosee some of their options. I know
that they're closed on Mondays, however, I'm gonna be there because they're gonna
let me in to see everything.I did that last year, I think
in like February, I did aFacebook live and these fireplace options that they

(05:30):
have and there are spectacular. Soif you have an old fireplace and we
don't even use it anymore, maybeyou're told by your Chrimney Street can't use
it anymore. Well, they havethese gas inserts to go right into that
frame with that fireplace, and they'rebeautiful. They pump up, but they
pump out a ton of heat andyou just do it by remote control.

(05:54):
Now, if you don't have afireplace, they got you covered there as
well. They could put it rightinto a wall. They could build a
fireplace into the wall and they couldbuild it around so it looks like it
belongs there. It's such a coolthing. It's such a cool place.
And you'll see a lot of thaton our Facebook live tomorrow. So that's
Fire Elements Route one northbound in Saugust. Come on, folks, they got

(06:15):
some open lines. I'm actually surprisedright now. It's pretty easy to win.
First time callers will welcome on theprogram today. The topic is if
you were going to give a giftcard to somebody this season, what gift
card? What restaurant gift card wouldthat be? It could be your local
restaurant, it could be you know, a restaurant that's really special to your

(06:40):
heart. I want to know whatit is. Eight eight four three four
sixty four sixty four. And youknow me, and I've always said this
on the radio show, I'm nota fan of those gift cards where they're
good at like one hundred restaurants.I just don't think that really shows that
it took any thought or meaning whenyou went out there to get that gift

(07:03):
card. You know, it's likehere you go, last minute thought.
I like it when you personalize itand you find that particular restaurant that special
and a lot of people don't realizeyou don't have to go to the restaurant
to get that gift card. Youcould probably order it right over the phone
the miller on out to you.So that you know is what you want
to do right. You want thatperson to spek to feel like you took

(07:26):
some time you thought about them.It's not that one size fits all type
of thing. You want that specialplace. So what would that special place
be that you would give to somebody? Eight eight eight four three four sixty
four sixty four is our number hereto Wicked Bites Radio. I got to
quickly tell you about Exchange Street Bistro. They are located in mauled In at

(07:51):
sixty seven Exchange Street. That's whereyoure gonna find John Carlino and I love
the Exchange Street Bistro. It's oneof the places that you know the food's
gonna be excellent when you walk inside. John's a big board member of the
Mass Restaurant Association, and he hasdone such a fantastic job with his restaurant

(08:13):
and really getting everything down perfectly,you know, as far as the service
and the food is concerned. Heeven has a three course prefixed meal that's
just like thirty two dollars per person. It's Monday through Thursday after five pm
and Sunday after four pm dinner only, it's just thirty two dollars. It's

(08:35):
a three course street fixed meal.It's really incredible. Exchange Street Bistro a
couple of items I'd recommend now.I love steaks. I love his steak
freaks and it served with the parmesanfries. That's probably what I would go
for, maybe even a rabbi overthere. It's so good. But they'll
do stuff like stear at c Scollopsand they serve it over lobster ravioli.

(08:58):
Can't beat that, right. Theygot a surf and turf with bake shrimp
at Terryoki Steak, which makes ita little bit different. It's all about
flavor at Exchange Street Bistro in Maldenand on Sundays at eleven am they have
a Sunday Brunch that goes on andyou can find items there. Now they
like to be creative, but it'sall about flavor. At the same time,

(09:20):
they're gonna do a breakfast pizza that'sone of the items they have on
their menu. But you could getcrabcake Benedict's, or chicken and waffles or
even a Monte Cristo sandwich the ExchangeStreet Bistro. Please say hi to John
Carlino for us. You're gonna loveit. I promise you that. And
in December, December ninth, Ibelieve that's a Saturday morning, we're gonna

(09:41):
feature them on the television show.So we'll make sure you see that.
Okay, Saturday at nine thirty onDecember ninth, you're gonna see the Exchange
Street Bistro in Malden. All right, got one open line right now at
eight eight eight four three four sixtyfour sixty four. I'm just looking for
that gift card you would want togive somebody to a restaurant because you find

(10:01):
it extra special? What is thatplace? Eight eight eight four three four
sixty four sixty four. Will kickthings off this morning and we're gonna go
to Michael in Southeast and Hey Michael, welcome to Wick of Bites. Top
of the morning. Scott, greatto speak with you again. How are
you fantastic? Now? What giftcar would you love to give somebody for

(10:22):
the holidays? Barrels and Boards inRaynham, Massachusetts, is a spectacular selection.
If I don't say so myself,you know, I have heard about
them and I've looked at them before. That really looks like a really a
cool spot. It really is.It really is the outside of the restaurant

(10:46):
and they shaped like you're going intolike a gigantic bourbon barrel, if you
will. And they've done renovations onthe place like I'll make it up on
the fly, like two to threetimes already, and the place gets sexy
or and sexy here every time.It's a great place for a date night
or a family The stuffies are incrediblethere if you're a stuffy fan. Yeah,

(11:11):
And I just like remember seeing someof the pictures of it and I
just thought it looked just like oneof the coolest places you're gonna find.
It really is. The staff's reallynice there. The day course is incredible
and just honestly, there's not onebad thing that I've ever tried on the
menu, and equally is important theresquatch and bourbon whiskey selection is really incredible.

(11:37):
Yeah, I'm gonna I'm definitely gonnahave to check them out. I
almost think of it and when Ilook at it, how beautiful it is.
I almost think like is this partof a chain of restaurants or is
this just an independent restaurant. It'sindependent, and the pricing really is not
off the chats at all. It'skind of like if you move that restaurant

(12:00):
anywhere to like if you move withthe Boston. Yeah. The food is
worthy, you know, it reallyis. I mean, you know,
maybe the andres are like maybe likein the like in the twenties, if
you will, that's not bad.Yeah, it's really not bad at all.
And it's fun to sit at thebar there. The bar is.

(12:24):
The bar is huge, all right, barrels and boards. It's located in
Rainham, correct, yes, allright, yeah, I I you know,
I gotta go check them out becausethey've been recommended a couple of times
on this radio show, and Ihaven't. I have not had that opportunity
to check them out, but Ithink they might be great to feature on
the television show as well. Absolutely, first bribon on me Scotch, all

(12:48):

me. But I'll do my best, right all right, Michael, thank

the wall of the restaurant. It'sreally nice to see, especially if you

really love the fact that it's reallyit sits out there over the water,
you know, and that you knowthe water, the tide's gonna come right
up underneath it, and they havedone such a fantastic job beautifying that.
That restaurant's gorgeous inside mm hmm,and happening in there. Yeah, they

(14:24):
have just done such an incredible jobwith that property. And it's not they
don't just own that one, theyown the one right next door to it
as well. And I can't thinkof the name of it, but you
could see it, and I don'tthink it's open this time of year,
but you could. You could seeit right outside the windows, and it's

(14:45):
just so beautiful. H to seewhat they have done, and you kind
of revitalize the the the Salisbury area. And I think also at Christmas time

things happening there too. Yeah,and I would recommend you go for like
an early dinner. That way,the sun is still a lot and you

(15:28):
can enjoy the view of the ocean. Well, I agree, I agree,
that's wonderful. When you were therelast, what did you have for
your meal? Gee? We hadso much. We had lobster rot I
mean this was in the summer.We had lobster roles, different kind of
a salad. I'm trying to remember. Yeah, I remember having some type

(15:52):
of a scollop dish when we werethere. That was just just and they
had some special and it was notlike it was. It was like a
lobster, like a poached lobster Ithink on on avocado and it was like
an advertiser appetizer special. It wasso good. But again, how could
anything go wrong with that view?I know that there was a specials,

(16:17):
you know, and I'm just tryingto think of every thing that was in
it. There was so much,But you're right, the lobster and the
skull of everything fish we had allright, Oh, had quite a few,
quite a few on trades. Well, Joanna, thank you very much

because above every nal in the bathroomis a small little screen. So you
continue watching a basketball, football,baseball game. Yeah yeah, yeah,
but I I am not a gambler. I am so bad at it.
That's probably why the last time Iwas in Las Vegas, I put my

(17:45):
my ATM card into one of theATMs. I think it was in Circus
Circus, and I went to takeout one hundred dollars and it's spun around
and spun around. Nothing came out, so I even lost at the ATM.

and you can see the ocean.It's all wooden mahogany on the inside.

mine, Bob, we had anopportunity to judge a competition together, Super
Competition, not too long ago.He says, thanks for promoting ginger Betties
and Quincy the other day. Yeah, I did a Facebook live there and
it was a really cool to see. That's the first time I've been into

(26:36):
ginger Betties and to see the wholelayout of it and how many gingerbread houses
that they make. They had oneorder of six hundred, and I saw
all the boxes. They were gettingthose out, I think in the next
day or so, and they doprobably like five thousand over the holiday season.
But they're gingerbread cookies, the bestI have ever had. And I'm
not a big gingerbread cookie lover,but boy, I could go through a

(27:00):
whole bag of There's They're moist there, They're really really good. So that's
ginger Betty's and Quinsy. He alsosays Procery Station Mall is a great place
with amazing clam chowder, and Isee Frankie writes in a gift card that
he would like to give to somebody'sRosso's Restaurant in Medford. Great food and

(27:22):
it's right in his neighborhood in Medford. Rosso's and it really is a good
restaurant. I love it there aswell. I think it was there about
a year or so ago. Wesat at the bar and enjoyed our time
at Rosso's. On after I didthat Facebook live on Friday from Ginger Betties
and Quinsy, my wife and Iwe we went on into Melrose to Bobby

(27:44):
C's restaurante and just had an incredibletime there and the food was outstanding,
and you know, I we're talkingabout it afterwards. You know, our
meal came out to less than onehundred dollars and we had a drink a
piece, and both of us hadappetizers and entrees, and I thought it
was really reasonably priced. One forthe atmosphere. The atmosphere's gorgeous, and

(28:07):
the food's really really good, andof course the people over there are just
excellent. Julie and her daughter.Her daughter are going to see behind the
bar and she made this. Itwas an espresso martini and the way she
does the top of it I've hadother restaurants asked me, well, what
do they do on the top.Well, that's sort of their secret,

(28:27):
and it looks great in photographs aswell, so I'd recommend it. I
would recommend that you go over thereand you try it. It's called Bobby
C's. It's located in Melrose.I think that's main street that they're on.
They're only open for dinner, butthe prices and everything are just really
really good. I would again recommendthat you go out there and try it

(28:48):
and say hi to all the goodfolks over there. TJ. Callahan's located
with thirty eight and Tilksbury. That'sgoing to find the Lovely Dawn. She'd
probably greets you at the door.And it's a great place to go.
Well, after one of those long, hard days, maybe we're shopping right
and you just want to pull yourbelly up to the bar and enjoy a
pint. You could do that.TJ. Callahans. It's very lively atmosphere

(29:10):
in there. A lot of localsgo in. I describe it as a
five star dive bar. I thinkit is a great way of describing it.
They have a scratch kitchen that isso good and I mean that at
TJ. Callahan's and Tewkesbury. Theirscratch kitchen has won the Taste of Tewksbury
Award for Best Entrees at least fivedifferent times, and that's how good they

(29:33):
are. So if you want togo in there and enjoy one of their
their lunch or dinner specials, theygot tons of specials, seven days a
week. It's amazing how many specialsthey have. Or if you want to
go in there and try their steaktips that they handcut right there, it's
a twelve ounce portion. TJ.Callahan's is the place to go and it's
also a great place to watch thegame. TJ. Callahan's on Route thirty
eight in Tewkesbury and today's show we'rebrought to in part by Boston Sound and

(29:56):
Prepared Foods. They have a bignews out now that they have this apple
crisp but that I got last yearand it came in like a six pound
container, so the average person couldn't, you know, couldn't bring it home.
I brought home for the holidays whenI had a big party, and
we still didn't even dent it.And it was like thirty or forty of
us here at the house. Westill couldn't dent it, but it was

(30:18):
so good. What we did,or what they did, I should say,
is they made individual portions and youcan find it at a lot of
specialty marketplaces and at market Basket aswell. Try it, Heat it up,
put a little bit of a vanillaice cream on top, and it's
like dying and going to heaven.It's so good. Boston salad and prepared
foods. Let's get back to thephone calls right now at eight eight eight

you like to give somebody for theholidays? Eight four three four sixty four
sixty four. And somebody, somelucky caller on the show is going to

go to Exeter, New Hampshire andKelly next. Hey, Kelly, welcome

(31:00):
the Wicked Bites. Oh thank you. The restaurant that comes to mind right
off the top of my head isthe Green Elephant in Bucket Square and Portsmouth.
Okay, I'm not familiar with you, No, I am not.
It's in ports with New Hampshire.Right, yes, and you know it's
it's vegetarian, but you would youdon't miss the meat because because I'm not

(31:25):
vegetarian, but I have family thatwere vegan, and we went there and
my husband had commented if he hadthe choice between say, burgabab, which
is excellent across the street, hewould choose the green elephant infused. Yeah,
give me, give me a descriptionof some of the dishes that you
had if you could. Oh gosh, I know, it's kind of hard

(31:48):
because you're you're used to like,okay, veal, it's not like that
they got to use a lot ofa lot of different islands. We never
missed, yes, and you wouldnever and it changes, the men changes
and the drinks look quite good also, and it has nice ambiance. I
couldn't say enough about it. It'sreally it's just a really nice restaurant and

(32:08):
I'm glad we tried it because Idon't know if we would have if had
we not had someone that didn't eatmeat. Yeah. Yeah, And again,
it's always kind of neat that youfind something you probably thought you never
were going to enjoy and then allof a sudden you enjoy it. It's
called The Elephant Vegetarian Bistro and Bar, The Green I'm sorry, The Green

(32:30):
Elephant Vegetarian Bistro and Bar at thirtyfive Port Walk Place in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire. Where where is that?You know, it's it's off the Market
Square. It's on one of thelike the side streets where they built a
new hotel. There's Dare Street andthen there's port Walk Place. It's a

(32:50):
lot of good restaurants right in thatarea. Is the Bergaba, which is
across the street from them, whichis very good. It's burg is with
different made from duck and not justground beef, not just beef. It's
venicson dock, I mean all kindsof briggs with all different kinds of proteins.
And then there's down the street fromthere, I think the Federalist.

(33:14):
I can't remember that one. Ihaven't been to, but there's a lot
of good restaurants right in that area. Yeah. Portsmouth is one of those
nice those spots that has more seatsand restaurants that I think they have residents.
You know, there's so many differentrestaurants. Yeah, I think you're
right, Yeah, so many greatones. I love Martindale Wharf which is

(33:34):
right on the right on the river, has just incredible, incredible view over
there. H Yeah, friends justwent to that and they said how good
it was. Yeah, fantastic.The lounge and everything is just just gorgeous.
As a matter of fact, thatthe bar top and the lounge,
it's really cool at night. Now. I would probably go there as the
sun setting because you want to enjoythe view of the bridge going into Maine.

(33:57):
But the lounge, the bar topitself is made out of some acrylic
and it's like a three sixty bar, but there's lights inside of it so
it changes colors and just really yeah, really really different, really unique.
And it's called Martin Gale Wharf andI can't be of what street it's on,

(34:19):
but it's right by we're all thethere's a lot of restaurants right there.
I think, let me see ifI could find it really quick force
it could be Bow Street because there'sa couple of restaurants right next to it.
Let's see. I have it atninety nine Bow Street. Correct,
ninety nine Bow Street. But Iwould recommend it. I would highly recommend

(34:43):

in the late fall. We finishedplaying golf and we sat out on the
patio on a beautiful day, andI remember having a great burger. I
don't remember what the burger was.I thought the burger was excellent. It's
Grazzy restaurant. It's in the FourOaks Country Club, which is on is
that one thirteen and drake it Ithink that's where one thirteen? Yeah,

packed seal so you could put itin the freezer for a long time as
well. It is so tender.I would put it up there with the

Oh the food is it really is. They're chicken masala. I don't know
what. They put sun dried tomatoesin it, which is very different,
and my daughter always gets it.It's her favorite. Everything is delicious,
and it's it's a pretty little place. They have all these little lights and

(59:45):
it's weird because it's in the backof a store. It's great. Yeah,
well, people won't expect that,and when you discover it, you're
like, wow, you know whereyou've been, so where you've been my
life, my whole life. It'sreally wonderful. Yeah. And he'll do
chicken parmesan even like pizzas, likeI don't know if they're pan pizzas.

(01:00:06):
I think it is like a thickerpizza at times. And they'll do a
great Italian desserts there as well.And it's just really a hit in the
neighborhood. But it's sometimes hard toget into well, and it's tough to
pack. I have to throw thatand you have to drive around for a
while to find a packing spot becauseit's almost like residentially. I mean,
everyone has their permits to park.Yeah, but if you know, if

(01:00:30):
you drive around for a while,you'll find one. But it's a great
little place. I wish I couldget them all off, and I don't
go as often as I would like. So, yeah, Vinnie at night.
It goes by Vinnie's, but everybodyknows that it's Vinnie's at night at
seventy six Broadway in Somerville Parking.As you mentioned, could be a little
bit tough, but boy it's worthit. Oh yeah yeah. And it's

(01:00:52):
just a small, small place,so it's really kind of cool. It
is. It's really cool, andit's I think if you go, you'll
really have a great YEP, Iagree with you, Carol. Thank you

north of Boston. The China Blossomon Wednesday night. Well I was there,
not this week, the week befour, Yeah, because it was

(01:01:59):
Thanksgiving this week before. I wentin on Wednesday night between six and eight
pm in the lounge area, theydo trivia that could be musical trivia,
but there's a comedian that hosts.It's a fun time. You win great
prizes as well, and it costszippo to go in and enjoy it.
You could sit in the bar andhave a drink, or you could eat
if you would like. They evenhave free your dirms. So that's on

Wednesday nights. And of course,as I mentioned earlier, we got Kevin
Cohnor Psychic Medium. He will beback at the China Blossom coming up two
weeks from today, December tenth.If you really need to get your tickets
now, because it's going to besold out. It's more than fifty percent

the only show we're going to doprobably until maybe February March April. So

(01:02:45):
you want to get in there,and he's a psychic medium. So what
you do is you bring a photographof somebody who passed away, and we
put on a table in front ofhim, and he just kind of scans
the table and he'll do about tento fifteen readings during his time that he's
up on stage, and he'll tellyou information that only you would know.
There were so many people that goto Kevin shows that never bring photogos.

(01:03:06):
They don't want to be read.They're just amazed by his abilities. And
I'm one of those non believers,and I'm always shocked how good he is.
That's why I keep using Kevin Come. You know, if my name's
to it, I want to makesure it's great. And Kevin just puts
on a tremendous show. So it'sSunday afternoon, doors open at one pm

bits Hey. Thanks Scott, firsttime caller. Oh welcome. My wife
and I have been listening to youfor years. I think we listened to
your dad for years. Great,thank you. I would love to have

(01:06:59):
a gift certificate to give my lovelywife for our sixty fourth wedding anniversary to
Brady's in Leminster. The reason beingis that that's where we lived when we
were very first married. We livedin Lemonster. I was working there,
and of course in those days,the big the big event was going to

(01:07:21):
the old going to the the oldMill in Westminster. Or we used to
go to the Old Timer for awonderful seafood buffet in Clinton. That was
years ago. I don't even knowif they still have it. But we've
heard about Brady's from you folks,and it's intriguing to us, and especially
being in Leminster. The whole thingjust has a real strong draw for us

(01:07:42):
coming up on our sixty fourth weddinganniversary. Well, I'll tell you it's
it's one of those places that isjust so cool. Bill Brady is the
chef owner of the restaurant. Andsince you're from Leminster, it's in the
downtown area. You know how mostof those buildings are like brick buildings and
stuff like that. I love personallyof that when they refurbished the bricks,
it just gives it such a lovelyatmosphere. I want to say. It

(01:08:05):
may have been a post office atone time, maybe a hardware store at
another time, but he has justredone that entire restaurant and and even right
to the tables, the tables thatyou would dine on. It's reclaimed wood
from Lemonster High School. I meanhe he really went that way. Well

(01:08:29):
she probably walked on those table floorsnow there. But the food is that
next level. He really does specializeuh in steaks. He does those cowboy
steaks and he dry ages them rightin the restaurant. And I can't think
of another restaurant in his area inLemonster and that dry ages food. But
Bradys is one of those places thatis this special. And my dad is

(01:08:53):
begging me to take him there.So, uh, we're gonna make a
maybe after the holidays, my wifeand I, my mother and father,
We're all gonna go down to Brady'sand just enjoy it. I think they're
only open for dinner. And you'llalso see your robot in there. We
affectually named her Rosie. Yeah,we'll take the like the dirty plates back

(01:09:14):
to the kitchen. Its kid's kindof neat to see. But it's a
great restaurant. I could recommend everythingon their menu. Even their desserts are
gonna blow your mind, it's thatgood. Well yeah, well, our
anniversary is coming up, let's saysixty fourth anniversary. It's the twenty seventh
of December and that's our anniversary andI'd love nothing better than to take a

(01:11:39):
dollars gift card. Eight eight eightfour three four sixty four sixty four is

recommend, I will make a greatholiday gift card. Is a place called
Premiere on Broadway. They are locatedin Summerville, and there's a two parts

(01:12:01):
of this restaurant out back. Theygot a complete showroom and I don't know
what they hold back there. Onehundred and twenty five maybe one hundred and
fifty people, I'm not really sure. And they do shows that they do
comedy shows, they'll do music showsin the back. And they do have
windows so he could see in ifyou're dining, and you could see into
it a little bit as well.But their lounge area and their dining area

(01:12:23):
spectacularly. First of all, takea look at all the artwork. The
artwork is by Kurran's father. He'snot a professional artist, but he did
all these on canvas. That theartworks are like singers, I think,
and even Lenny Clark, but alot of like sting. You'll see that
that these murals up there that areso colorful and beautiful. He did a

(01:12:45):
phenomenal job. I'm surprised he doesn'thave his own art gallery. He's that
good. And then at Premiere onBroadway, it's all about the food and
it's all about family. Kurrn's grandmother. Years ago, they had the family
owned a Delhi and on Tuesdays theywould basically, you know, make urentinies.

(01:13:06):
And there was a lot of workersin that era, construction workers,
and they knew Tuesday at eleven thirtyof the deli they have roentini and they
would form a line and they wouldwait outside. They're that good. So
she brought that recipe, of courseto the restaurant, but she also brought
a lot of other items, includingone of my favorites. They're chicken parmesan.

(01:13:30):
It's a head turner. It's sogood and it's large. You're probably
not gonna finish it, but it'sso good for the holidays. You could
go there with some friends and getthe anapostive board. The anapost board has
meats and cheeses and whole grain mustardsand house pickled vegetables. I would recommend.
I've had that as it really isgood. And on Sunday they even

(01:13:53):
have a Sunday brunch. It's calledPremiere on Broadway at five thirteen Broadway,
Somerville. That's five seventeen. Ishould say Broadway in Somerville and say hi
to Kern when you go in.It's an Italian American eatery with signature cocktails,
live music and dancing. Premiere onBroadway eight eight four three four sixty

the same thing ninety percent of thetime. But the fruit's so good.
But I always go with that sixteenounce bone on like pork chop. It's
just so good. It was onthe special menu forever. Now it's on
the regular menu. The last timeI was in there, though, I
finally changed and I went with theveal parmesan. And the reason I did

(01:17:33):
it is and I was ready toorder it. I was ready to order.
I did it. It wasn't evenopening the menu. I know what
I was going to get. Andsomebody next to us ordered the veal parmesan,
and I just saw the sauce becauseI know they make the sauce set
Luccia's in Winchester, and that DavidColor, and I changed my mind and

(01:17:55):
I got the veal parmesan, butI put a little bit of thin layer
baked plant on top. Boy wasgood, But it's hard when you go
to these restaurants. You just neverknow. You just never know. You
see these great dishes and what areyou gonna have? You know, you
will say, I ain't got this. And it was great. I don't
know if I want to venture toofar away from it, but that sounds
like a nice little stop again.It's called on the Corner Grill at four

recommended on the radio show in Wakefield. I said, let's go out there
and we went. Remember last yearthere was that one night it was like
pelow zero, like like early afternoon, that the coldest night of the year.
We decided to go out to eatand we dined at Artichoke Arto Chokes
in Wakefield and we loved it.I love the building that it set in
as well. Just I'm not surewhat the building was at one time,

(01:21:27):
but it just feels like a pieceof history that you're dining in. It
was I believe a Y M cA. Okay, yeah, I could
see that. So yeah, andthe whole brick you know, ohll brick
on the outside, Yeah, allbrick and they it's actually condominiums and back
and uh it's a beautiful spot rightdid a lake and it's well worth the

(01:21:53):
trip. Yeah. And what didyou have when you had Artichokes? Do
you recall the last time there?I wish I remember when I was there.
It's been a while. We alwaysget their steamed little necks in a
spicy marin raa sauce perfect, allright, and it is spicy and then

(01:22:13):
well we'll split because of so muchof it. A veal and shrimp combination
which comes with a white cream sauceover fewsillly o mad chew silli delicious?
All right? Yeah yeah, Anddo I recall I mean, you could
correct me if I'm wrong. Don'tthey have? And it's one of the

(01:22:35):
few places now that have it.Did they serve bread before the meal came
out? Oh? Yeah, yes, I remember For some reason, I
really remember that, and because soa few places are doing that right now.
And I know when I was therethere was very few people in the
restaurant. But again I think itwas like minus three degrees and the wind

(01:22:56):
was kicking up at around thirty milesan hour that that Friday night that we
were there, not a great restaurantnight, but we had the whole place
to ourselves. It felt like,yeah, well you picked the right night.

I go to chain restaurants from timeto time, but they're kind of
predictable. But I always like todefine these little family owned places. And
I love diners, Absolutely love diners. We featured a lot on the television

(01:29:38):
they recommended on today's program. Sowe'll do that and coming up in just
one second on the program. Butlet me first tell you there's a football
game this afternoon. A matter offact, there is some football this afternoon.
Hopefully we get some better results.Torrezo Pizzeria would be a great place
if you want to either for yourselfor entertain the crowd if they're coming over

(01:29:58):
your house or if you're gonna goto somebody's house, is grab a pizza
on the way. They'll love it. Totermezzo is located on Route one point
nine in Wilmington. That's their pizzeria. It all spawned from their restaurant in
the same town called the US TourandayTremezzo, which is an Italian restaurant and
they do specialty pizzas there. Butwhen they decide to open up pizzeria.

(01:30:20):
They said, you can't judge uson the restaurant because you know those are
we do a pershooto pizza, right, We're not going to do that.
In most places, we don't doa cheese pizza. So what they did
is they said, all right,if we're going to open up a pizzaia,
we gotta do the cheese, andwe gotta do it right because they're
gonna judge us. Right, Sohe decided the first thing we need to

(01:30:41):
do is buy a bakery so theycould produce the dough for the restaurant and
for the pizzeria. And they havedone that. And then the sauce.
That's number two for me. Dough, sauce, cheese. Right, you
can hide a bad pizza otherwise.And they have all three taken care of.
The dough is made by Joseph Bakeryin Wilmington, and it makes for

(01:31:03):
the restaurant and for the pizzeri.They also do the desserts. The sauce
six full hours to prepare. It'sit's fresh, and the sauce there's meat
inside and they slow cook it atlow temperatures. That brings out all the
flavor right, and then then theyI think they pull out all the meat

(01:31:27):
and that's how they make their sauce. It's all that flavor that's built into
it. So if you want togo in there and get the al Capone,
which is pepperoni, imported ham,meatballs, sausage, and crispy and
crispy bacon, that that, tome is important they could do that.
I love a couple of their otherpizzas. One that I fell in love
with at their restaurant is their barbecuedchicken. It's pulled chicken, uh that

(01:31:50):
that is served with caramelized onions ontop of it as well, and their
barbecue sauce is drizzled on top.It's phenomenal at the restaurant. Another one
of my favorites is the Hawaii fiveOh. I know it's Hawaiian pizza and
a lot of people either think you'recrazy for ordering a pizza like that or

(01:32:11):
they agree with you. To me, it's it's one of my favorites.
I love it the Hawaii five Oh. They also do subs, col zones,
salads, chicken wings, dinners,and so much more, including great
desserts. Tremezzo Pizzeria Route One twentynine in Wilmington. Please say hi to
