Link’s Lunch of the Month
January 23rd, 2010 | By Shannon Durbin
Every so often Link likes to take his parents out for lunch. Today he stepped out to Old Man River where the restaurant and brewery is celebrating its second birthday. What is a party without balloons, goodies (free cozies), entertainment (live music), and complimentary cake (cheesecake, that is). Chef Kendall has got to be one of our favorite cooks. The special menu for today was nothing but spectacular. Appetizers included shrimp kisses, bacon wrapped shrimp with a creamy crab sauce stuffed inside. Link’s mom partook in an Italian Sausage sandwich and chili while Dad had the onion ring burger and fries. Praline cheesecake hit the final notes. Lunch entertainment was provided by John Fassbinder, the singing bartender. There was a great lunch crowd, which is sure to grow steadily into the night with a fabulous special dinner menu and music by Patsy Sullivan Wellman and Mississippi Sawyer. The best in dishes and tunes.
