SPECCHIO @ the Borgata: Average
POTATO GNOCCHI- too salty, peas were hard
prosciutto, english peas, sweet cream, parmigiano reggiano ($25)
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA - good
roasted plum tomatoes, burrata, parmigiano ($25)
ROASTED SCOTTISH SALMON- overcooked
spinach, pinenuts, golden raisins, salsa verde, olive confit ($29)
The Metropolitan @ the Borgata
SHRIMP PO' BOY fried shrimp, lettuce, lemon remoulade on a french roll ($12) - Bread & shrimp were good, but sandwich was dry, dressed with a tad of mayo and a few shreds of lettuce. More proof that a little spicy aioli can make a big difference.
The Metropolitan is open 24 h and has a gelato bar...

Profi's Creperie at Reading Terminal: Big Mistake
This was not a good way to spend a lunch at Reading Terminal Market. The crepe is small, ingredients are average, and the price does not reflect the product. All crepes are $6- even just butter & sugar. Next time I want to waste money I will flush it down my toilet- would have to be more enjoyable than the crepes at Profi's!

Good Karma Cafe


Strawberry-banana smoothie (24 oz, $4.95) at Good Karma Cafe is served in a Greenware cup that is made from corn. Tastes good and feels good.

Young's Fish Market: lobster roll only $9 !!
Forever in search of fresh & meaty lobster rolls, we drove to Young's Fish Market at Rock Harbor in Orleans. The lobster roll is amazing and only costs $9, which is equally amazing. The lobster roll is 100% lobster meat jammed into a soft roll.
Young's is owned by an older couple, who, when they noticed that I was taking a picture of K & Peach in front of the market, ran outside with two large lobsters for K to hold for the picture. Obviously, I am in love with this couple; a love that is rivaled only by my love of their lobster roll.

Chatham Squire
Chatham Squire, aka The Squire, a casual restaurant on the east end of Main St in Chatham has a big menu and, surprisingly for Chatham, good prices. I highly recommend the raw oysters, which taste as though they were living in Chatham Bay just prior to being served. The native oysters are sold individually for $1.95, 6 for $10.95, or 12 for $18.95.
I was dining with a large group and everyone was very pleased with their menu selections. There was a pasta with fish cheek special that was ordered as an app and as an entree. While the flavor was delicious, the app portion could have easily passed for an entree, and the entree portion was HUGE. Although it reheated the next day quite well, it would have been nice of our waitress to mention its hugeness.
