I feel so old. My favorites are gone.

For me, a favorite restaurant is more about the context of the visit than it is about the food.  Our anniversary dinner place used to be Lord Chumley’s downtown.  I don’t know that Janice Ocum ever raved about the place, but it was a special event place for us and we sure raved about it.  Our Friday nights when we were dating often included Brennans Bowery Bar.  You couldn’t have convinced us back then there were better wings anywhere.  There was a place in Batavia called Chardonnay’s that we discovered when we were first looking to move out of Erie Co.  What a fantastic twist on Italian-French fusion.  Didn’t make it.  There was a place on Maple and Sweethome that had great Italian food and an awesome cigar bar.  Lots of date nights there when our son was small. Regular enough that we could afford it, fancy enough that we felt like we were splurging.

Love the places we call regular now but I miss the context of those old haunts.
