The Bottom Feeder has long touted The Cow and the Fish Restaurant as the top source of quality dining
food in Southern Maryland. Michael and Sylvia
Chase turned one of the many “Cap’n so and so” places situated on Route 235
into a place that turned out the best chef made food in the County. They have decided to open an Italian
Ristorante in closer by, in Leonardtown! in what was once Smokey Joe’s on the Town. Michael will turn his talents to
producing “real” Italian food such as handmade ravioli, and believe it or not,
Osso Buco! If his Bolognese Sauce served at the original place was any
indication, he will accomplish this admirably. After all, his first culinary
degree was from Girona, Spain where he was taught Mediterranean-style cooking
using fresh herbs and spices to bring family and friends together around the
dinner table, which will continue to be it’s model. So it’s not just another “Pizza
Joint” link in a chain, peddling pre-made pies with manufactured ingredients.
The Slice House has put others to shame and currently remains the only purveyor
of credible Pizza in town. They expect
to open around the first of the month.
Authentic Italian cuisine has long been a missing component of our local
options.
For those familiar with the layout of their new home, “Smokey
Joe’s on the Town”, there was a big honkin’ Smoker in the middle of the place.
It will continue to be of use for Sunday Lunches, producing Smoked Rosemary
Chicken, herb lemon butter Chicken, and Prime Ribs. Once they have moved, be
sure to go in and talk to Sylvia who has many stories and experiences to share.
The Feeder has received no compensation of fried oysters for
this recommendation!
I am afraid “DFD” will remain dark for a while.
