A stop while shopping : On The Border

Chips and a Bloody Maria
A quick stop while shopping.

Grilled shrimp bowl
The Baja Combo: chicken enchalata and a fried chicken and cheese stuffed avocado
The shrimp was done perfectly. The bowl was a de constructed taco,  so we wanted tortillas. The fried avocado was interesting.

Pizza for the Mets Game. Ledo Pizza

Fettuccine Bolognese with Goat Cheese
This regional pizza chain was a great find on Chincoteague Island, VA.  We had the 14" HOTLANTA BBQ : Their signature square crust drizzled with Urban Bar-B-Que® Yella sauce, sliced chicken, regular bacon, and jalapeƱos topped with Provolone cheese.  It was amazing.  We also ordered a second pizza and the Fettuccini Bolognese  with goat cheese topping.  All were perfect.  I do not know if they deliver, but if we had ordered over the phone, we might not have made the perfect meal choice.

Etta's Channel Side Restaurant



Etta's Channel Side Restaurant

This restaurant was recommended to us.  We went with Jim and Jimmie Simon.  They say that sometimes you can see the ponies across the channel - but not tonight.

This is another restaurant that is too dark to read the menu or see what you are actually eating - they must have something against lights, as they did not have the front lights on as we left, so we used our cell phone flashlights.  They noticed and about the time we got to the bottom and they turned them on.

Hush Puppies and Rolls
