Week#6 - Respect is Burning


Good morning everyone,

It was Louise’s turn to choose the restaurant and we went to Respect is Burning on Durham in Sudbury. We had reservations for 6:30 so we didn’t have to wait for our table.

We each had a drink, a Blue Lagoon for Louise and a Long Island Ice Tea for me. We started with a Caesar salad which was absolutely tasty. They use their own signature sauce; I would like to figure this recipe out.

Louise chose to have the BBQ’D Rack of Lamb and you can probably guess what I had, the BBQ’D Dry Rubbed Abruzzo Baby Back Ribs. The ribs had a very unique taste to them. I couldn’t figure out the spices used on them. I really enjoyed the potatoes as they were mixed with cheese. I could taste the rosemary mixed in with the vegetables.

We enjoyed our visit at Respect is Burning. The food was good and the service was awesome. We found the music loud at some times and the lighting a bit low. If we return we would try the SuperClub Italian Pizzas. Next week, I get to choose where we eat and I have no clue where we are going.

Week#5 - Wacky Wings


Good morning everyone,

After a two week break we returned to our project last night. I decided to try Wacky Wings on Shaughnessy in Sudbury. The restaurant looks very nice with lots of wood. Anybody who knows me knows that I love wood.

It is a loud environment with music blaring and noises coming from arcade type machines. This restaurant is in the middle of downtown Sudbury. They have a large patio deck to one side of the restaurant which allows patrons to have supper outside. This building would fit nicely in the country by a lake somewhere.

As the name implies Wacky Wings specialize in chicken wings. They have over 100 different flavours. Louise and I decided to share a Caesar salad and a sampler platter of wings which included flavours such as sea salt and pepper, honey garlic, garlic parmesan and sweet and spicy tai.

Overall we enjoyed our experience and would certainly return to this establishment.

Week#4 - Tommy's Not Here


Good morning everyone,

This week we went to Tommy’s Not Here. This restaurant is located on Regent Street in Sudbury. Louise choose the restaurant this week. We had hoped to visit this restaurant a couple of weeks ago but we needed a reservation. So far this is our favourite restaurant. The ambiance was perfect with soft music playing in the background and the lighting was very low.

We started with a couple of drinks and a nice appetizer consisting of a Portobello mushroom filled with various vegetables topped off with a slice of steak covered with a raspberry sauce. Louise had the Chicken Marsala and I had a Strip loin Steak with a Button Mushroom Skillet. The food was absolutely exquisite and we will certainly return to this restaurant.

Next week I get to choose where we dine and I still haven’t decided yet. We decided to take the scenic route back home by driving down highway 69 and then taking hwy 64 through Noëlville and Lavigne. I even saw one of my students walking on the side of the road.
