Sunday the family and I went to Happy Jacks a new restaurant on Route 12 in Leominster:
It is a place with a bit of a Caribbean flair
a menu that spans the entire gulf region
and of course a spot where you can grab a beer
No meal at the Happy Jacks is complete without Border Sauce:
As I was doing my live spot for Out With Joe on WROL the food came
I had the Salad and mini Quesadilla
My oldest had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich:
My youngest the basic burger
And my wife the Sheppard’s Pie
My meal was off the lunch menu that is normally not available on Sunday’s but usually they will make such items available.
It was a good meal, if it had been a sunnier day we could might have been eating outside:
Happy Jack’s is a hop skip and jump off of Route 2 near the Fitchburg Leominster Border.
And if you can’t get to Leominster, they DO Cater

When people were talking about an “Everybody go to Chick-Fil-A” on Wednesday I was bummed out. Because of the Madonna Della Cava vow I can’t eat meat on Wednesdays. Thursday’s I was busy working on ads for new customers so Today was the day to go.
I’m still down a car so I grabbed DaWife’s vehicle and headed north. I hadn’t been there for a while so I had no idea where the food court was when I got there so I headed straight for a map. Much to my surprise the other people looking at the map were looking for the same place:
From there it was just a hop skip and jump to the place. It was a food court so the tables were full but no lines
I ordered the #1 mean, AND a spicy chicken sandwich AND an order of nuggets AND an order of strips. The plan was to sit down, eat the #1 and take the rest home. As I waited for the order I talked to the manager who asked not to be on camera.
He said business had been flat no real change since the controversy, it turns out that since there are so few Chick Fil-A anywhere around here (There are only 3 in all of New England 2 in Massachusetts and this one) so people already make long trips to come and eat so a few more doesn’t make a huge difference.
I sat down next to an elderly couple as there were few seats we talked for a bit and Tom agreed to an interview:
Tom has been married for over 50 years, I asked him for the secret of a successful longterm marriage, he said: Marriage is like a job with two employes, if you don’t work hard you get fired.
All this is well and good, but the question that really counts? How good is the food?
The Chicken sandwich was good as I remembered from Georgia. It’s underplayed with just a pair of pickles. I tried one of the nuggets and strips, they were also superior, I packed most of them up to take home for the family but the real test was the spicy sandwich. I’ve publicly stated that Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich was the best in fast food how does Chick-Fil-A measure up?
I ate the spicy sandwich on the drive home, like the standard it comes only with a pair of pickles, I think the veggies and mayo help more (advantage Wendy’s)
The Chicken itself was thicker than the Wendy’s patty and a bit more meaty. The Wendy’s patty is a little less greasy and also thinner. It’s really a matter of style but a tiny edge to Chick Fil-A due to the thicker patty
The spices. Chick-Fil-A is a hotter mix of course I’m less used to it than the Wendy’s. Wendy’s spices are milder and leave a better aftertaste. Again it’s a matter of taste, and I’m a creature of habit. slight advantage Wendy’s
Overall. The Chick-Fil-A spicy Sandwich is a really good Sandwich, Certanly worth every penny you pay for it and far superior to McDonalds or Burger King, but If I only had the money for one, I’d have to buy Wendy’s…
…no contest on the fries, Chick-Fil-A’s are MUCH better.

I have heard a lot of people on the left self righteously complain that conservatives are unwilling to agree to “common sense gun control” that we are unreasonable fanatics who would oppose restrictions on the ownership of Sherman Tanks.
Most of all; we are totally wrong to believe that the left is after our guns just because of the proposed assault weapon ban.
Why would we have such a belief, how can the folks on the right even think we on the left are after their guns, all their guns?
The answer: Chick-Fil-A
Twenty years ago there was nobody NOBODY nationally who was pushing the idea of gay marriage. If Bill Clinton had come out for Gay Marriage in 1992 he would have lost 49 states.
Then came the VT Supreme Court ruling requiring civil partnerships.
When people suggested that this was going to lead to Gay Marriage liberals insisted they were alarmist. Nobody in the mainstream was pushing Gay Marriage and the whole argument was absurd. This was just addressing inheritance and hospital visitation issues which were not unreasonable.
In 1996 the defense of Marriage Act was proposed, at the time it was suggested that instead of a law, a constitutional amendment formally declaring Marriage was between a man or Woman should be passed. Such people were dismissed as alarmists. Nobody was talking about legalizing Gay Marriage and there was absolutely no need of a Constitutional Amendment to define a word the meaning of which the nation had understood for centuries.
No amendment was forthcoming but DOMA passed 85–14 in the Senate & 342–67 in the house. Democrats overwhelmingly supported the bill (32-14 senate & 188-65 house). Bill Clinton signed the bill into law and that was that.
Until for the third time a liberal State (Massachusetts) by a 4-3 ruling declared Gay Marriage Legal. Again we were told not to worry, the legality of Gay Marriage was just a question of equality and it wouldn’t make any difference in the lives of those who opposed it.
Then came the persecution of parents who opposed it.
Then came the Catholic Church being given a choice, violate your beliefs or stop placing children for adoption: never mind how well you place the children hardest to find homes for.
And as the supporters of Gay Marriage lost vote after vote after vote (and continue to block any vote in Massachusetts) they became louder and more vitriolic even to the point of assault
Look at memorandum on given day. Any person who opposes Gay Marriage is not defined as against “Gay Marriage” they are defined as “anti-gay” a bigot.
And now comes the Mayors of two large cities, Chicago & Boston, declaring publicly that Chick-fil-a is not welcome. That Chick-fil-a for daring to have Biblical principles and support them have no place in their civilized cities.
And if Chick-Fil-A is guilty then so is every Catholic Church, every Orthodox Church, Every Mosque (well apparently not Every Mosque) and the vast majority of Protestant Churches in the country, (at least the ones that are growing). If they are not welcome neither is the business of any person of faith who doesn’t bend to the pressure media and money can provide, a pressure that the President wilted against.
We have reached the point from the legality of Gay Marriage in Massachusetts, to the Mayor of the largest city in the Commonwealth publicly declaring in effect: If your business dare oppose the liberal politically correct position , your enterprise doesn’t belong in our enlightened city.
This has happened in the space of a decade, after being assured that “Gay Marriage” would have no effect on anyone else.
So when you on the left tell us, assure us, and promise us that if we on the right agree to just a little bit of Gun Control, you have our word that we have no designs on your personal firearms or anything else, you’ll pardon us for declaring:
If we are stupid enough to believe you on gun control then we deserve to lose the rights we are fighting to defend.

Today we do the Broadway in Worcester Mass.
It sits the canal section of the city.
The Broadway is open for Breakfast lunch and dinner and holds about 80.
I was there before my show with Joe Mangiacotti of Out with Joe
You can find his dining out show Sunday’s at noon on WROL Boston.
Note that along with some interesting specials (prime ribs and eggs for example) including breakfast cocktail selections available.
Although I know Joe likes Eggs Benedict he decided to go with the Banjo ham and eggs special from the board:
I had the eggs over easy and sausage
What stood out to me was the toast, the bread was thick and tasty. Joe, a frequent guest at the Broadway, informed me it came from a local bakery. They as an all day establishment do accept plastic, the Broadway does. It’s also worth noting that Joe pointed out a collection of restaurants and watering holes opening in the area which seems to be an up and coming one for Worcester.
One final thing the Broadway is located at Kaplan square named for Sgt Harold Kaplan who died in England during World War 2.
We tend to walk by these memorials too quickly. After you enjoy your breakfast or lunch at the Broadway make sure you take a moment to look at the memorial stone and remember Sgt. Kaplan and the folks like him who never came home.
