Mid-week features
Oops, sorry about missing the MWF"s last week.  But the weather threw us a curve ball - note Baseball analogy!  Very excited about the start of the Orioles season.

This week we are planning a fabulous MWF - Rustic Italian. I noticed a line on Patch Westminster about Westminster's "Little Italy" and thought WOW, that is so true!  So I was talking to my Sous Chef and we decided to have some Italian fun before we start working on our Spring Menu in earnest!

This week we will feature a 4 course chef's dinner for $34.95 or you can enjoy these specials priced ala Carte.

!st Course - Classic white bean soup 

2nd course - Choice of Roasted tomato caprese
                                or Italian Bread Salad

3rd course - Choice of Veal Osso Bucco risotto                               
                                or Wild Boar Ragout with pasta                             
                                or Chicken Saltimbuocca with orzo
(All entrees will be served with  baby artichokes) 

Dessert - Tiramisu

Golly, that sounds really, really good.  I may have to take a night off and enjoy dinner!
And just in time for our expanded wine list featuring quite a bit of Italian wines thanks to our friend Rachel!
Looking forward to dining with you, Ken

Brooke is on vacation visiting her mother in Myrtle Beach for 5 days.  A little R&R before the nose hits the grindstone called Gunner's Grille! (opening soon)
I was not going to mention it but Brooke already has.  She is trying to figure out how I was able to take 7 months off between restaurants and she doesn't even get 7 days!!  oh well, such is life and she is much younger than me.

This past week has been trying, of course all my stress is due to the mutts.  2 week ago the tree was down, of course on a Friday.  This past Saturday I get home at 4a.m. to a quiet house.  No dogs!! Fortunately both boys are home, safe and sound!!

Well, back to work we go.  Gotta get the Irish ready!

Jim and Kitty said...

We just enjoyed the island time special at Buds on Tuesday.This was one of the best meals ever from the appetizers to the dessert, the whole meal was incredible. We have eaten conch fritters in several Caribbean islands and Buds is equal to or better than any we have ever had. The salad was exception and the flavor mixed well with the entire meal. We chose the Mahi mahi and the salsa and sides were great. The fish was seasoned perfectly. The bananas foster was the perfect ending to a great meal.

Manhattan, NY12/27/2010

My mom and I have eaten at Bud's three times now on the way back to the Annapolis area from Gettysburg. Even though I live in New York, the owner remembered my name and my order on our second and third visits which were one and two years after our first visit, respectively. The food is simply divine - the best salmon I think I've ever had (and I've had a lot!) - and the wine selection is great.  I just wish they had a location in Manhattan as I'm sure I would be there 3-4 times a week.  I don't usually write online reviews, but Bud's is so consistently good and the ambiance consistently warm and friendly that it absolutely deserves the praise.


As the weather changes and it seems as though this winter is quickly fading I spent the morning reflecting on the last almost 3 years.  The Ocean City restaurant show is this week and I had gone there after my last motorcycle road trip in preparation of opening Bud's!  Sometimes I wonder if this was the right move, opening a small restaurant or semi-retirement in Missoula Montana...  Well looking back doesn't really accomplish much except to try to learn from your mistakes and use those experiences to grow.  But looking back in someways is also an ego booster.  While the last 3 years have not been easy they have been rewarding. Looking back at reviews from across the web makes me realize what a great job we have all done here at Bud's. 

And as Brooke moves closer to the opening of Gunner's I look froward to a future of growth and great restaurants radiating from this little place.  I know that Gunner's will be a great restaurant and look forward to dining there often and reading great reviews about Brooke's place!
