Romeo 1-20-16

The Romeo Gang met for lunch on Wednesday, January 20 at Heaven’s Taste in Peabody at 12 noon. Heaven’s Taste is located at 150 Main St.  

There is no web site but you can see some mixed reviews at Yelp. You can also see some photos at the Picasa web site below ........... 
 
There were 6 Romeos present including Joe Lapiana, Ed Deschuytner, Jim Terlizzi, Mark Ryan, Joe Pignatiello, and John Tweedie.

The restaurant is a modified Brazilian Steak house where you have self service selection at a buffet table with additional slices of meat served by a carving chef at a carving table. The meats include rotisserie beef, sausage and chicken. 

There are two choices for lunch which include all you can eat for $16 or $7 a pound. We decided to all get the all you can eat selection and went back for seconds. The buffet table had an assortment of potatoes, fries, plantains, salads, rice, noodles and other vegetables as well as stewed beef, chicken and pork.

The beverage was water, cola and coffee. No alcohol. We also finished off the meal the several cakes and custards.

The meal was very good, meats tender and tasty and the service was very attentive.

The conversation was lively as always and included talk about sports, weather, politics and news.

It was nice to see John T. at lunch. He said he has been busy with doing new teacher supervision with Emerson College. He usually spends a few weeks in Pompano Beach, Florida during March when the weather is better there. 

Joe P's mum just turned 100 last week and we wished her well. They had a big birthday party for her at Moonstones Restaurant in Chelmsford.

Ed said he just bought 6 seasons of the hit TV series on DVD called Breaking Bad which was on HBO. He said it's great TV and really addictive. Jim said he taped all 6 seasons on AMC when they had a movie marathon and has really enjoyed it.

There were lots of other things we talked about but just general chit-chat. Jim suggested a lot of new movies now playing including the "Martian" with Matt Damon.

We then decided on meeting next month on Feb 17th at the Continental Restaurant in Saugus. Jim will send out an email.
