It is everything you want in a neighborhood restaurant. It is close to home, perhaps a five minute drive. The place is beyond casual. And the food is surprisingly good. Tonight we were late shopping as we got caught up in an interesting glitch with our Verizon service for our new IPad 2, so it was past eight when we headed home. Ken felt like fish so on the way wondered if Schuckers would be open for dinner.
The answer came quickly when we drove into their packed parking lot. People were eating and drinking and hanging out with their friends. A live group were playing music loudly inside, so we elected to sit out on the large deck along with many other folks. We sat at the bar and drank beer and ate oysters, with gumbo to follow. The evenings are beautiful in Jackson so we enjoyed sitting on the deck soaking in some local color. So nice to have a funky restaurant close to home.

Funky restaurants close to home? Maria, Sofia and I wandered to an early dinner at Pines of Rome the other night where the only thing that has changed in at least 40 years are the prices! $20 for a slab of pan fried veal!! Still good chow, though.

I couldn't help thinking of some great Wednesday lunches with you at the Pines. It's not quite the same brown-bagging in the conference room at the office.
Love to all,
Joe
