I dont understand all the love of this place. Prices went up to support the new location and food quality and quantity went down. Service was the worst!!!! 6 - 10 employess on the floor and we were the only table in the place at noon on the Plaza. Does this say something about the direction this place is headed?? I used to love Bo Lings for years but not anymore. I voiced some concerens about my meal to one of the owners Rebecca Ng only to have her argue with me. I wont go back. I will stick with the chain restaurants.
Baklava from Michigan is a good thing, lets hope it's from Shatila in Dearborn.
Jamaica, the Mexican agua fresca, is made from the same hibiscus flower. It may lower blood pressure, but is hardly an aphrodisiac.
Roach Motel in the power and white district.
watch out for the cockroaches....some of em carry switchblades!
great article, Mr. Ferruzza! Fun history and useful intel. Mrs. R's, here I come! I LOVE piggy ears
to RW, don't you want him to stop at your "Legends" and buy some of your discount store crap, attend a redneck car race or lose money in your casino"? isn't that what you built that huge retail area for.....or do you only want to get rich from "your kind"?
As a recent temporary transplant to The Dotte, I am actually quite surprised how many great food options there are around. People in the Crossroads and Midtown who don't realize how easy it is to get to Bichelmeyers or the family owned Thriftway on Kansas Ave are missing out.
To KoJC. If that picture of yellow fried junk in a aluminum pan makes your mouth water you can stop in Quindaro or go all the way over to Troost and find a few other high class restaurants catering to hood rats. Take your Glock with you though...you don't want to be mistaken for a John and get rolled.
In response to the King Of Johnson County.....you and many others have a false sense of Wyandotte County!!!! Do us a favor and keep driving to your palatial estate!!! We don't need your kind stopping on our "dangerous land"!!!!!
Regardless of the time of day or night, as long as I am alive Charles is welcome on Quindaro. And I bet Gary Wilson and the other businesses along Quindaro will feel likewise.. Good Article Charles...
I see Ricky's off of I-635 on my way home to my palatial estate in Johnson County where i frequently dine on Foie Gras , and other delicacies . --Ive often wondered about this forbidden , possibly dangerous land just off of the highway. --I will make it a point to stop in and sample the food of the common people.
I grew up a few blocks from where Ricky's is now, when I was a kid it was a Velvet Freeze for years prior to becoming a hair salon/retailer. From rocky road to relaxer to Ricky's...that corner has seen some change. And right across the street, probably three liquor stores ago, you could go in and pick your poison at the ripe old age of ten. Those were good times.
I do wish that Paul Bunyan Burgers just north of Quindaro Blvd on 18th and Parallel was still there....burger baskets are a lost art.
I hope the government doesn't watch this page or else J's just outed themselves
I bet Charles didn't go down to the Quindaro after midnight to get sample the snacks. Liberal white boys only go in the hood in the daylight.......
gross!
Applebee's? Only if you take the long way around.
How do you have a job? The fact that you compare braised snails to bruschetta shows how little you actually know about food. It is blatantly obvious that you have something against pig and finch from your two horrific articles, which you try to pass off as legitimate reviews. Maybe you should look up the definition of the word review and drop all your flowery writing. The only thing I found useful from your articles is the secret love affair you have with Rye. Which is a completely different concept. Didn't your mother teach you not to compare and contrast opposites? I think you missed that in English 101... Possibly. Pig and Finch has across the board ratings of 4 plus stars on all media sites. As a loyal .customer I am appalled at your attack on the now local owned monopoly chain. You should probably keep your refined taste and opinion to that of McDonald's Mr. Feruzza because you wouldn't know a good food if it rained down on you.
We recently moved to Maryland (and moved back to Lawrence again) and I can attest that the crabcakes at Intorno were as good as the best I ordered in Maryland.
Re: “Anthony Accurso gives his family's namesake restaurant a kick in the mozz”
I hope you're not going soft, Charles, on critiquing restaurants and food and restaurateurs. Something in this seems to possibly suggest you aren't being fully honest--scathing--if required. Naturally, hope I'm wrong.
