They always say start with a joke, so I will. This one comes from my friend and fellow
South Jersey Writers' Group member
Jessica Walsh. What day do potatoes fear the most? Friday. Ba dum dum.
Jessica is the co-editor, along with
Amy Holiday, of the new SJWG speculative fiction anthology
Reading Glasses, and she also found us this great place for the aftermeetings of the SJWG -
Dominic's Tavern.
I have to say up front I really like this place. We got to go several times before we moved our meeting venue to another town. Still I think the extra hike would be worth it for Dominic's. It has a friendly biker bar vibe, lots of big screen TVs, and waitresses in pseudo-Hooters wear, but not too over the top. No matter how you slice it, Dominic's is far far superior to either Applebee's of the
Phily Diner.
What I usually get are these terrific big chicken tenders with a spicy kick. They're called jumbo tenders and they kinda remind me of the Cap'n Crunch Chicken that Planet Hollywood used to have back in the day. And the tenders come with large natural cut regular cut French fries on the side. They are a bit greasy but crisp on the outside, and hot and soft on the inside, the way a good fry should be.
The SJWG, including Jessica,
Krista Magrowski,
Amy Holiday,
Mieke Zamora-Mackay,
Janice Wilson,
Karen Harbin,
Mark Doenges, and others have had a great time at Dominic's in our aftermeetings, recommended. And (shameless plug) don't forget to click on their names to see the terrific work of these great local writers. Good food, good conversation, good friends, good times.
