Hidden gem
Thursday, February 09, 2006
In an area primarily populated with industry there is a hidden gem known as John's Famous Stew. I found this place on Yahoo Maps and after a quick call to find out if it was still open, decided to meet a friend at John's for lunch. It was a risk well taken! Despite a menu full of sandwiches and comfort foods, we decided we couldn't dine at John's Famous Stew and not try out the stew. You have 3 choices - mild, medium and hot. I chose medium and my companion ordered hot. It was fantastic! Just be warned, the hot is loaded with heat. My friend enjoys his food very, VERY spicy and was really impressed that his stew was prepared with the amount of heat he would normally give food at home - more than the typical person no doubt. We took a chance on John's, enjoyed the food and will definitely return in the near future.
