What’s your fave local eatery?

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Every once and a while myself and some friends I graduated with from Spring Arbor get together over at Quimby’s and just catch up, enjoy good food and drink, and all around have a good time. It got me to thinking what are some of our favorite places to eat and hang out in the township? Here is generally where we go …

Breakfast: American Table or Bedford Coney Island.
Lunch: I’ve got kids it’s McDonald’s! If it’s my wife and I we like to go up to Tres Amigos when it is less crowded and noisy.
Dinner: I like Quimby’s but the wife isn’t a big fan. The wife likes Doolittles but I’m not as big a fan.

Of course we hit up other places like Sideline’s for dinner or Maggie’s for breakfast but the aforementioned are where we generally wind up.

I think ET’s has become my new favorite watering hole. It is quaint, the jukebox is awesome, the staff is attentive, and the prices are just about right … cheap! Sometimes the wife and I will make our way up to MT Loonie’s; she really enjoys it there and we still see many friends there when we go. The only issue I find with ET’s and MT Loonie’s is avoiding smoke. One way Quimby’s might be a leg up on ET’s and MT’s is you can avoid smokers if you so desire.

So those are my thoughts what are yours? Where’s your favorite place to dine out in town or stop and have a drink with friends?

Random Thoughts

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Some random thoughts while I continue to work on broadening the scope of this blog by getting in touch with local leaders of all sectors of our township.

  • I really, really, really (this could go on for a while) dislike there not being a gas station in Lambertville. To me it is positively disgusting that there is only one gas station in Bedford Township right now. 30k plus residents and one gas station (unless there is one of Telegraph right over the state line I am not thinking of)
  • American Table has great breaksfast. Only drawback … no corned beef hash. Maggie’s has great corned beef hash. I know you probably don’t give two hoots about my eating habits but I love me some corned beef hash.
  • Speaking of restaurants … does anyone know the hours of the place at Olde Schoolhouse Commons?! I publicly promised the owner on Bedford Now Chatter that I would check it out but I have failed to do so yet and would like to.
  • I saw Coach Jeff Wood at the Toledo Central Catholic football game this past Friday. I wonder if he was there to fret over the loss of Dave Wallender and Zach Messer who have (legally) transferred to play at Central this year. Wallender has won the starting QB job there and Messer seems to always be on the field. I am excited to see what types of things Coach Wood will accomplish this year and into the future. First game is a very tough matchup with Airport.
  • Does anyone wish we could annually rekindle the old rivalry with Whitmer?
  • School starts back up in a little over a week. Any other parents out there excited for that?!? I know we are!

That’s about all I got right now. It’s slightly late on a Sunday and I could sure go to bed early tonight!
