Watching food TV channels has become such a blurrrrr!

LOL had never even heard of the place until just now. But since we (not
counting Christine here) don't eat beef, no surprise there.

Here's a review: http://nmgastronome.com/blog/?p=344
Apparently they do serve other food besides beef.

The $$$ makes it out of range for me at the moment any way.

Ari,

I don't recall it looking like that. Maybe they have front and back
entrances and facades?

I will say, the food photography at that website was pretty bad, in the red
(?) zone?

I think I saw some semblance of a Philly cheesesteak. In an upsidedown
kinda way.

Best,

Andy

Arri,

Sorry for dropping the r in Arri.

The front facade looked pretty old fashioned.

Thanks!

Best,

There is a separate entrance to the restaurant that doesn't go through
the liquor store.

Doesn't matter. People mess up my real name even worse

Thinking it's fairly nondescript for this area. Can't say we ever
noticed it on any drive-by.
