[NLRS] Friday night dinner before Aurora '14

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

May I suggest Jimmy's west on County Rd 'E' near I-35E and walking 
distance from my hotel. And 7:30 PM rather than 8. I liked the Walleye 
there a few years ago though the narrow table in the hallway was a 
little tight it was out of the main dining room traffic. Donatelli's 
doesn't offer fresh water fish and I'm allergic to sea food, so I have 
to try to get things separate from seafood on the grill or eat only 
vegetables. I have learned to not trust sauces with secret recipes, too 
often they include anchovies that the kitchen doesn't realize is seafood 
contaminated with whatever it is that triggers my allergy. I found 
Donatelli's rather tightly packed, though we have survived there a year 
or two.

I take it that the downtown White Bear Lake rib and chicken place has 
fallen out of favor, we didn't go there for lunch last year. A year or 
two before I went there for supper after Aurora, and found myself alone 
and the chicken not cooked inside. Did that happen to others?
