Week#10 - Plucker's

Good morning everyone,

This week Louise choose the restaurant and we went to Plucker's in the South end of the city. This restaurant was suggested to us by the daughter of a friend of ours.

We enjoyed our supper as we always do and really appreciated the lighting, as it was very bright compared to most restaurant.

We had a Caesar salad, mushroom caps, onion rings and some chicken wings. The wings were a little small and overcooked but overall everything was fine. In my opinion the best Wings are still at Kelsey's. Plucker's is not our favourite restaurant but we still enjoyed our night out. We would certainly return to this establishment for lunch.

We topped off our evening with a walk around Ramsey Lake. Next week we celebrate our birthdays and as we always do we are going to the Keg. We're probably going to spend the whole day in Sudbury.

Week#9 - King's Buffet

Good morning everyone,

This week I was the one choosing the restaurant and I was in the mood for some Chinese food. We ended up having supper at the King's Buffet on the Kingsway.

We had some shopping to do so we had a late supper. The restaurant was more or less empty. After supper we sent for a walk around Ramsey Lake we needed it after eating so much good food.

I forgot to take a picture so I had to take one from the Internet.

Today I'm preparing supper for my dad. It will be fun. Next week Louise gets to choose the restaurant.

Week#8 - Casey's Bar and Grill

Good morning everyone,

Louise was away in Timmins last week to visit some family. She came back yesterday so she was tired and we didn't really have time to plan for our night out. We decided to go to Casey's on the Kingsway.

As always the service was great. Our server was really helpful in suggesting drinks and appetizers.  We started off with having a 5 fruit sangria and a Tornado Potato.  The serving was so big it could of been a supper for the both of us. We ended up bringing over half of the serving with us back home.

I was debating between having a steak or ribs and decided on the ribs because I figured I'd be cooking my own steaks for supper tonight. We were a bit dissapointed by the ribs because they were dry. Louise had honey mustard on hers and I had chipotle BBQ.  I hate to say that the best part of the supper was the coleslaw. It had a nice dressing on it.

If we ever return to Casey's I'd try their steak. We topped off the evening with a walk around Ramsey Lake. This walkway is our favourite place in the world. If I ever win the lottery I'm buying a house on Ramsey Lake.

Week#7 - Mr. Prime Rib

Good morning everyone,


Yesterday Louise and I went out for our weekly restaurant visit and this time we went to Mr. Prime Rib on Barrydown in Sudbury.  This was not our first visit to this restaurant because I remember going many years ago before we had our kids.


This is probably our favourite restaurant so far. The lighting was perfect and the noise was nice and low. We did not have reservations but we got a table right away. Our server was great as she came many times to our table to make sure we had everything we needed.


We started with a couple of drinks, Louise with a Pinã Colada and me with a Sling. We shared a Citrus Salad but I prefer a Caesar salad though but I was game to try something new.


Louise had the special, Prime Rib with roasted potatoes and vegetables and I had a Rib-Eye Steak with garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our night out and had time for some good conversations. We ended up visiting some old friends of ours in St-Charles and came home quite late. It was an awesome evening as always. The kids were great as they got along and took care of the little ones. Looking forward to next week's date as Louise is choosing the restaurant this time around.

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.
