WHAT'S NEW WITH THE FAMILY!

Hi, and thank you for choosing
Antonio’s today!

We are fully underway with the back-to-school season here. While we truly miss our restaurant family members that have returned to school, we are excited to welcome two new family members:
 First is Spencer, who is joining our cooking line. He recently moved here from Massachusetts and has already begun the arduous task of learning our huge menu. (Which includes probably 30 items that aren’t even on the menu anymore, but we still make them all the time. Who remembers a Pepper & Egg Grinder from our 1960’s menu? Well, I know who, because they still order the it! Also, before you order one, we can only prepare “off-menu” items ingredient and more importantly,
time permitting. :)

     When I first meet new restaurant-family members, I bring with me a tradition my mother started about 50 years ago, with the retelling of a classic joke. It goes; how do you sell a deaf person a chicken? Next, you lean in close to their ear and scream “wanna buy a chicken?” at the top of your lungs. No, it’s not the funniest joke, but I hear my mom in my head and feel her spirit within me each and every time I tell it.

     Second up for new restaurant-family members is Krystal. It’s kind of cool how we have family legacies here within our restaurant-family, and Krystal is the little sister of our waitress Kim who is away experiencing her freshman year at UConn. Krystal will begin as her sister did; as a “salad girl”. Fun fact: my grandmother was a salad girl when she immigrated to this country, my mom was also a “salad girl”, as was my wife, when I first met and started dating her.

     Ummm, I can’t believe I’m this far down and didn’t even address my family at home! Johnny and Tommy return to college this week, so come back next week to see pictures and a recap of how that goes! Otherwise, we’re all doing good and appreciate your interest.

     Well, there’s still room to thank you for choosing to spend your time and money here at our local restaurant. We consciously try to support our local farms and purveyors, and appreciate you choosing us. We truly appreciate you!


Steven & Co.
