Highland House – Mequon WI

Last night was Saturday date night.  We stopped off at Highland House in Mequon.  We’ve been here often and enjoy the casual atmosphere.  They serve decent chips and salsa.  The chips are usually sprinkled with their chili powder mix.  (A reminder of the old Dos Bandidos in Glendale, WI)  I can’t say that Highland House

Sunday gravy...why can't I be italian????

Our last dinner in NYC this time around was at a restaurant called Gonzo on 13th between 6th and 7th avenues.  Great food and portions that really could have been considered too large.  The special for Sunday night was a traditional "Sunday gravy"…a beautiful all-day pot of short ribs and meatballs and sausages in red
