AmericanPressTravelNews-July 5th,-Bob & Barb “On The Road Again” now back home in TN. and writing up our experiences around Lake Erie, New York. We left the Waterhouse Inn B&B our host location in Fredonia, NY for some dinner. Little did we know we would enjoy this little place with such big flavors and personalities. We kicked off our meal with Calamari, lots of super tasty, squid. Everything on their menu looked very tasty. We talked to a few regulars coming in, and leaving the restaurant and they all told us they were lucky to have this one, just off main street-they loved it! We saw and tasted why!!! Rocco’a is located at 44 Orchard St. Fredonia, NY 14063 716-679-0044
Terrific Calamari appetizer! Done just right and with a specially created sauce, this was not the usual fry and die seafood melange.This diamond -cut sirloin was excellent all the way around! Just like we like it, too!This very interesting lemon & herb soaked veal scaloppine bedded on linguine al dente’ was a true treat!
AMERICAN PRESS TRAVEL NEWS, Charlotte, NC-Gotta eat, eh? Well this time we dined at 5 Church Restaurant in the City of Charlotte, NC.After we dropped off our bags at The Duke Mansion, we drove about 15-minutes to down town Charlotte, left our car at the door with the restaurants Valet and entered into the “gourmet zone.” Lobster, 60-second NY Strip, Scallops that sat up and said “eat me” and we were off to a salivary circus. The meals were excellent. After our shrimp & cheesy flat bread, the tangy tomato bisque soup, we carefully decided to taste, photo and release. So of course you have to eat, but you have to sleep too! Very full bellies work great for Lions who sleep most of the time during Africa’s daily heat, but people only sleep at night! From mussels, to imported fiz water to dipping breads, steaks done their special way, lobster, shrimp that tasted like shrimp, 5 Church Restaurant came through first class, great! Go 5 church.com call them too at 704-919-1322
