When you come to visit you're going to have to go to the Shady Lane Cafe with us! Sandy and I had lunch there today and found the SLC a terrific place to get a classic Rueben sandwich. Looks like there's plenty of fun stuff to eat - great looking salads, homemade soups, and authentic sandwiches - my next one will be their Philly Beef and Swiss Cheese. Based on the Ruebens we had, I'm betting this is a gourmet version of a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich without the Cheese Whiz.
We also saw the Lemon Blueberry Cake in person and got to talk with Susi and her husband. They were lots of fun, very personable, ran a busy restaurant with ease, professionalism and personality. Lots of smiling faces, lots of food going, tons of energy, and a clean and delicious place to eat.
A good Rueben sandwich needs four things that The Shady Lane Cafe knows all about: top notch corned beef and Swiss cheese, good toasted bread, great sauerkraut and a good Thousand Island dressing. Then it has to be steamed to melt the cheese and served quickly with a good dill pickle. There it is - go get one or come over and we'll hit the SLC together!
On a side note -- related to the Seminoles. I usually wear my Seminole parka in cold weather. Have been for several years. Today and yesterday I had people coming up to me wanting to talk about the Florida State football program, the #1 recruiting class they just put together, and the preseason #3 ranking ESPN just gave us. Huh? Guess we're back on the national football radar again. Its been too long. Go Noles!!!
