Golf, Restaurant Jul 25, 2008 The Waffle 2 Comments The Eh! Bay Invitational Golf Tournament is in its 4th edition and I was invited back for a second year.  Organized by the Wall family, it is basically a weekend of golf, laughter and all-around fun in the Thousand Islands.  Only two foursomes are part of it, and we played Smuggler’s Glen on Friday, Thousand Islands Country Club on Saturday, back to Smuggler’s Glen on Sunday. After a round of not so memorable golf at Smuggler’s Glen (in my case anyway), we were off to the United States of America. Our first meal was also not so memorable – dinner at the Dockside Pub in Alexandria Bay. The Dockside Pub is a very small establishment on Market Street in A-Bay.  It is decorated with sports memorabilia and mostly celebrating the exploits (!) of Syracuse’s teams.  It is a very casual sports bar,…

Restaurant Jul 24, 2008 The Waffle No Comments In 1995, in an old Red Lobster that went under, opened an old-style, old-fashionned deli-bar.

Restaurant Jan 1, 2000 The Waffle 2 Comments Medium – Also known as American. There is nothing like a classic flavor – there mix of hot sauce just does it for me. Dirty Bird – Creole Mustard & Lime Ricky Sauce The creole mustard goes very well with the lime-flavoured spicy sauce.  And it does look like the bird just pooped. Spaghetti Western – Medium with Parmesan and Italian herbs This actually tastes like spagehetti!  The parmesan is a nice touch, and the herbs gives a great and fresh finish. Flew the Coop – A mix of their Lime Ricky Sauce and Diana’s original BBQ. This one has a nice kick to it – a traditional BBQ flavour with a nice tangy kick from the lime sauce. Daisy Duke – BBQ, Medium and Taco flavour This one is surprisngly good – the taco flavour gives a new twist on a classic…
