My friend and I want to go back to this little hole we used to go to for the same reason - to see the bartender. We went there about 2 years ago, and it had been 12 years since our last visit, and the guy completely remembered me - AND my drink (Cape Cod). Good ol' George.sybil lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13629349319977383547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-28310812790738302732010-02-22T20:39:58.656-05:002010-02-22T20:39:58.656-05:00Bittersweet.

Owner and chef (with his family) of Shopsin's Restaurant. Their menu has around 1,000 items on it and they make everything fresh. Hard to believe, but true. And he is an amazing character. Check out the documentary "I Like Killing Flies" to see him in action.Verdant Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139591223231428391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32194857.post-84518763993087146452010-02-22T08:21:26.184-05:002010-02-22T08:21:26.184-05:00yeah I heard of this guy.
