My Apartment Restaurant and Lounge - Janesville - Friday Night Fish Fry
This entry was posted on 12/28/2007 7:06 PM and is filed under Friday Night Fish Fry.
There is no shortage of odd-named restaurants in Southern Wisconsin that serve up Friday fish fry. Just look down my "Friday Night Fish Fry" category. My Apartment Restaurant and Lounge is no exception. The demeanor, the place, and the people is to be sure, Wisconsin-esk. There is a big bar surrounded by various nooks and rooms with dining tables. It is somewhere between a café, restaurant, supper club, and tavern. You eat there - you decide where it fits in your preferences. If you are heading west out Court Street in Janesville, it is to the right on 15 North Arch Street.
Miss Heide ordered the potato pancakes. I opted for the hash browns. She also ordered a cup of French onion soup which she was pleased with. Miss Heide is not often easily pleased. Her family was in the butcher and grocery business at one time - food is a constant point of reference. The deep fried fish is made with a softer texture breading unlike the crisp presentation that fish frys often use. It is a good departure from the crisp for a change. The cole slaw is crisp yet creamy. The tarter was indeed tart and creamy as well. The meal will come with some rolls and butter. With a 20 percent tip a Diet Pepsi and coffee the two of us got out of there for 28 Bucks.
My Apartment Restaurant and Lounge is cool with Cool Dadio. On Fridays the fish is served from 4:00 to 10:00 p.m. Call (608) 752-9908 for more info on specials and times.
Stupid pop culture, media-complex, distraction-from-reality story
I am thinking, each day I should jot down the stupidest news story that is foist upon us by the big-media-complex as a distraction from the reality that has become America. So here we go - welcome to today's "Stupid Pop Culture, Media-complex, Distraction-from-reality Story."
Hey everybody, Pakistan with its nuclear weapons is collapsing - but what's new there? - people are in the streets killing and burning, the former PM is killed - who'd ah seen that coming? - and, their government is apparently rarely in control of much of their country. Ah to hell with all that oh so typical Central Asian gloom and doom. What has Will Smith got to say about Hitler anyway? Interesting that everyone is so bent on the interpretation of Will Smith's comments when The History Channel (the Hitler Channel) beats the Hitler saga to death at least several times a day and has done it for years now. Talk radio and the "media-complex" wonks on nightly television have been gnashing teeth ad nauseam of late about Smith and Hitler.
Wisconsin military service person of the week
This week's Wisconsin soldier to remember is Chief Warrant Officer Joshua Michael Scott, 28, of Sun Prairie. Michael died Friday May 27, 2005 or injuries he sustained one day earlier when his helicopter was shot down by small-arms attack in Buhriz, Iraq, about 35 miles north of Baghdad.
