Dear Gentle Reader,
You have only to ask and it shall be done. Just a few more requests and I will, once again, begin to rove!
Roving Rita Coming to ClearysNoteBook
I'd like to introduce myself to readers of Cleary's Notebook. My name is Rita and I live in Gloucester City, NJ. I'm a die-hard 'foodie', a person who is particular--and particularly interested in--food. I'm going to be roving around the area (Audubon, Belmawr, Brooklawn, Mt Ephraim), trying ou...
Dear Gentle Mike,
I agree. I will give them several more chances, in fact. But I believe their 'hard' opening was the 16th.
Thank you for your comments,
Rita
Roving Rita's Restaurant Review: McMichael's Pub & Grill
Dear Gentle Readers, I want McMichael's, located at 157 S. Burlington St in Gloucester City, to succeed. I truly do. It is conveniently located, has a lovely, rustic decor, and the prices are reasonable. However, that is when the first scary dip on the rollercoaster takes hold. My companio...
Dear Gentle Deivery,
I will certainly try the wrap and plan to order the fries while at the restaurant. Accolades like yours are worth another attempt!

Roving Rita's Restaurant Review: Whata Weiner
I must admit, gentle readers, that I only experienced Whata Weiner as a delivered meal. Miss Rita is getting far too fragile to traverse the icy streets of our fair city, at night. Therefore, I decided to experience the flavor at home. I ordered several of their specialties and took a g...
Thank you, dear WH. I will give the cheese steak another try and will certainly try the German hot dog!

Dear Gentle Hakmayap,
McMichael's calls itself a pub and grill. Pubs have pub food. Grills grill. It is that simple. They have a full food menu but no beer or wine menu. That makes it an "eatery" at the very least. The steak was on the menu and so we ordered it.
Thank you for your response.

Dear Mr. Flay,
When reviewing, I do a taste-test of each portion of food. I take a small portion and eat it. You of all people should know that; I've seen you do it on television many times. I'm so honored that you responded to my small critique! I'm also glad you found time to visit McMichael's 4 times! And I was not comparing apples to oranges when I compared them to Max's. I said, "it will rival Max's for elegance and refined but friendly dining in this lovely little town", giving kudos to Max's & Gloucester City while giving hope for the future of McMichael's.
Thank you for your response and good luck with your throw-downs.

Oh my goodness! I certainly am glad they saved the cat! Hoorah!
DIESEL IS RESCUED
Residents of the 700 block of Market Street in Gloucester City united today to rescue a now-famous cat that had been stuck in a tree for over 24 hours. Friends and neighbors of Helen and Mike had tried in vain to coax the cat, named Diesel, down from his scary perch since yesterday. The...
Dear Gentle Sequel,
I'm so glad you mentioned the gentleman who took your order. I have found the staff to be kind and professional. Thank you for your comments.

Roving Rita's Restaurant Review: Troxies Chicken & Pizza
Although I did not intend to review this particular eat in--take out establishment I felt as though I should, for several reasons. First, it is a local business and I am fond of the idea of shopping (and dining) locally. Second, there were a few comments regarding the wings and I wanted to ...
Dear Gentle Bob,
That is correct. When she is cooking she is most certainly hot. I hope the poor girl doesn't swoon from the heat.

Dear Gentle Doogy,
As Popeye would say, "I am what I am and that's all that I am."
I offer critique as well as praise. And I tell the truth about it.

Dear Gentle Alice,
I have tried the bread pudding and found it delightful. I was sorry I didn't order it to go with the meal. I understand the owners make it themselves, which is also wonderful.
Thank you for reading!

Dear Gentle TJ,
Each person's palate is different, of course. I have not partaken of the Saturday night entertainment but may do so in the future. Thank you for reading and the compliment. By the by, I now have a Facebook page!

Dear Gentle Guadalupana,
Dear dear, you are correct. I am very sorry I misspelled "piqued"! I feel as though I may swoon with my own disappointment.
Thank you for your kindness. I apologize for my error.

Roving Rita's Restaurant Review: San Lucas LI Tierra Mexicana
My dining companion and I were geared for an uncharacteristically spicy adventure on an unseasonably warm afternoon so we searched for a restaurant that would cater to our discerning tastes. What better way to satisfy an urge for earthy fare than to look for an unclassified Mexican eatery! Sa...
Dear Gentle Anonymous,
Sounds lovely. I am limiting my reviews to Mt Ephraim, Audubon, Bellmawr, Westville and Brooklawn at this time. When I have finished with that area I intend to concentrate on other areas. Your descriptions have peaked my interest and I shall don my gloves and hat and head there in the very near future. Thank you for the suggestion!

Dear Gentle Pill,
I am sorry you don't like "Mexicin" food. Perhaps it is because you have difficulty reading the menu.
