The Everyday Joe

Italian in vast quantities: Sunshine Restaurant, 152 Route 202 (Lincolndale Plaza), Lincolndale NY

A couple of quick additions this morning to catch up.  First up, Sunshine Restaurant.

Tucked into a shopping center that looks like it would house a dentist, insurance office, and VFW hall, the Sunshine Restaurant is easy to miss.  But I was hungry and on the lookout, and am very, very glad it caught my eye.

Argentinean Hot Grilled Happiness: Ernesto's Grill, 3717 Crompond Rd. (Rte 202), Yorktown, NY

Just west of the Taconic Parkway is a building that looks like a an old dutch windmill.  It's blue.  Outside of that windmill is a big green sign for Ernesto's Grill, a new restaurant run by an old man with a great sandwich.

His menu is basic, and doesn't even include the awesome rice and beans he gave me a plate to try while I waited.  

Bar B Que and Picnic tables: Top of the Hill Grill, 632 Putney Rd., Brattleboro, VT

If you drive by at traditional lunch or dinner times, it's hard to miss the Top of the Hill Grill, a roadside shack and collection of picnic tables overlooking an algae covered pond.  When is the last time you saw 30 people waiting patiently in line to order off a menu that it drawn up on paper plates, stapled to the wall of a wooden shed?

Super Duper Weenie, 306 Black Rock Turnpike, Fairfield, Ct

I'm going to make this one quick, because they are a)famous, b) have been on the Food Network, and c) don't need anyone else talking about how great they are.

But Super Duper Weenie really is awesome, and you really should go.  Check out the website for more info: superduperweenie.com

My favorite part - the iced tea that is pre-lemoned.  Oh. So.  Awesome.
