Now this was delicious
August 20th, 2010 | By Joleen Jansen
Fennellys” Irish Pub, Elkader, IA – I was lucky enough to dine out for lunch today in Elkader. My husband and I agreed we would try Fennellys’ new Prime Rib Wrap. While supplies last, Prime Rib Wraps are the current featured lunch item at Fennellys’. Let me just say, “excellent.” This was a very well prepared, easy to eat luncheon delight. The wrap was served on a spinach and herb wrap, with flavorful prime rib chunks, crisp leaf lettuce, diced red onion and sauteed button mushrooms. Tasty Tasty!! I recommend lunch a Fennellys’ tomorrow.
