Journal de Bionici, 14 janv. 24

Saturday evening was another day of "restaurant" discovery. My wife & I had driven to Russellville KY to attend the funeral of a friend. Russellville is a smaller town in central KY with about 7500 population. Since the funeral was later in the afternoon, I asked some people of a good place to eat. They recommended a local Italian restaurant, and I am thinking "OK, another pizza place". But, everyone said it was good. Having lived outside NYC, Philadelphia, and Baltimore,...and having traveled to Chicago and San Francisco extensively on business, I've eaten at some world class Italian restaurants and also some really good "mom & pop" Italian. But,...Russellville KY ??? Just add Russellville KY to the list. Ariella's is definitely in the "5 star" category. I don't know who the chef is, but they have a kitchen that is the best. My wife had a scallops entree, and I had a clams, shrimp, crab dish on linguine with a wine sauce. Both were delicious. They also had the typical red sauce with various meats on pasta, and some other chicken, pork, and ELK dishes. The down side is that for 2 days in a row, salt has affected my weight temporarily. So, Monday will be a exercise day on the bike and some lower caloried meals to get back on track. But,...it was worth it !! Everyone be prepared for any snow storms that are in your area. We are supposed to get hit very hard in middle TN with snow and low temperature extremes. Keep focused, keep exercising, and keep losing / maintaining your weight. God is good !!

The food sounded great!!! We are getting the bad weather here too in southern Illinois. A huge chunk of the nation is.

Thans for sharing your review. I love when folks relate good food, restaurants, and good times enjoyed. Makes me feel like I can see it, smell it and taste it.

MorticiaAddams, we were hit the near "zero" temps and have been there for 2 days. We also had about 6-inches of blowing snow. That's alot for us. We do not see any relief for another 2 days and then more snow. But temps back near 60 next week. The food was great at Ariella's. We plan to go back soon with another couple. BTW, my sister spent her early years in southern Illinois at Effingham. Maybe that is more central. My father was originally from Havana.

Laurie62707, the whole experience was great. One of the things about the 6 transfers (business) we had was that we got to experience the foods of the various ethnic neighborhoods in those cities. Italian, east European, and Jewish in Baltimore & Philadelphia plus some varied Asian & mid-eastern. NYC area was a conglomerate of everything. One of the foods that I came to love was Portugese & true Spanish.

On childhood vacations my Dad had a knack for picking great restaurants. Lots in my memories! I am centrally located in Illinois in the capitol city--about halfway between Havana and Effingham. Small world!
