Today at Jerry's...

Got the magical e-mail...class cancelled tonight! In lieu of the sixty or so pages of reading that I would be poring over, I toddled down the street to Jerry's and had their specials...

Turkey and chicken chili...


and

Buttermilk fried chicken (on Italian white with pepperjack cheese, mayo and lettuce)

Delk:

Thanks for the reminder of this place's existence. Some time in the past, I think Gary posted a picture of a lamb sandwich that looked fabulous and at the time I vowed to visit there... But, as too often happens for me, the back-burner got turned off...

On average, I go about once a week. I've only been disappointed twice, a vegetarian chili that was, frankly speaking, ghastly, and a steak special that was overpowered by onions. Other than that, I think they do an outstanding job.

I will say, that it does get a bit crazy during the lunch rush. One uncertain diner (damn Oprah guests...lol), confronted with the myriad of choices presented, can hold up the line...If possible, I try to get there right before or just afterward.

When I first moved here four years ago, they closed at 2PM and were closed on the weekends. I give them a lot of credit for being aware of the changing aspects of the area and reacting appropiately. They now stay open to 9 and open on Saturdays til 3PM.

Enjoy!

I want that sandwich- now!
