Chicken soup? Homemade is best but otherwise I would go to Jack Cooper's in Edison.

the ratio of men to women was very high that night, as is generally the case at rutt's hut. although, our group had way less ink and piercings than the rest of the customers (as far as i saw :hmmm: ). and from what i could tell, rail paul was the only guy in our group who showed up on a harley. he's a lot cooler than he looks.

Drat i am destined to never eat there i believe, one of my cooks called in sick so I couldn't make it. The high ratio of tatoo's etc is due to the fact that wednesday night is bike night, even in winter, at Rutts, my GM go's there almost every week. (he saw you, did you see him?)

So, is there going to be an upcoming eGullet event at Finks? I think I've shown that I'll travel pretty much any distance to try anything within an hour or so that is eGullety food related... :biggrin:

was he sitting in the back? or was he one of the guys with ink at the stand-up part. i'd probably recognize him if i saw him. but then again, out of context, maybe not...and i try not to make eye contact with people at Rutt's. :biggrin:

mark, we gotta get a group together at fink's and take the place over. not sure how that might be best arranged, however, as seating is limited. perhaps fink could throw out a suggestion if he has the time and feels comfortable? :hmmm:

How 'bout we bring over a few 8 foot tables and set them up in Fink's parking lot? That way we don't need a seating chart or place cards.

Set a keg on one of them, Rosie's Turleys on another, and go at it. Note: this idea works better when it warms up a bit...

Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.

i've often considered having fink cater a party at my house. and maybe have you people over. but then i realize that i don't like all y'all that much, and i certainly don't trust yous's in my home.

maybe the parking lot is a better idea.

edited to add "y'all" and "yous's'" to pluralize.

Stopped by Rutt's Hutt tonight.

Coupla rippers and a few cups of chili to go. As always, good nourishing food. Chili tasted more greasy than I recall. Yellow relish was outstanding, as always.

I was discouraged by the take out area. In daylight, the yellow tiles and formica stand-up tables looked almost pleasant. That noire apperance created by flourescent lighting, biker nuns, yellow tiles, headlights of cars down on 21 was gone. The counter guys looked sorta normal.

This was likely the first time I've been there in daylight in 25 years. It will be another 25 before that happens again as Rutt's is a night owl place. Redolent of stale beer and old cigarette smoke, rippers and folks nursing their last six ounce beer...

Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.

paul, the "dining" room is certainly a dark and dank place to be in the daytime. i haven't been to the dining room during the day since my college days. and i always remember walking in from the sunlight and basically seeing nothing at all for the first 3 minutes, as it's so dark. and once your eyes get acclimated, you head to the head, and blinding sunlight shines through those fake ice block windows in there. always a blast, actually. :biggrin:

these days, as i'm very old and chubby, i just go to the stand out front, and enjoy the lovely view of the parking lot as i eat my rippers. and sometimes i'll just sit in the car, and wonder what it was like 60 years ago to be doing the same. actually, the AC wasn't working the last time i was there, and there were about 10 people sitting in their cars. :smile:
