Hi, and thank you for choosing

Antonio’s today!

! I’m excited that Spring is officially beginning! It definitely feels like it. Already the days seem brighter, except for the forecasted rain ?, and the days are most certainly longer and fuller.

     Speaking of Spring… it’s time to do our seasonal menu revision. We redo our menu every 90 days and while it’s kind of obnoxious to do it so often when you’ve been in business for 60 years; it’s part of the magic that keeps it fresh for not only our great customers; but ourselves as well. This being said, if you remember a special or past menu item you would like to see on the menu; now is the time to let us know.

     Speaking of magic, we are proud to continue featuring Magic Dave every Friday from 5 to 8. Please come on down and be a part of the magic!

     Of course, we’re excited that March Madness is here too! We celebrate over at Hoops with a special food menu, discounts on draft beer, free giveaways and the finale is a great raffle during the championship game for the grand prize.

     The family is all healthy and happy, so not much to report there. In cases such as this I usually fill the empty space with my educated ramblings, which to my knowledge is the one and only benefit to getting older.

     For instance, I know that carrots are a natural sweetener and as such, you can use them instead of sugar whenever appropriate. In fact, we have been doing this in our marinara sauce for years.

     Another is that you can put heavy duty cellophane under foil when baking casseroles (up to 475 degrees), and this way the cheese or sauce won’t stick to the foil.

     One more is that the proper way to clean up any kind of oil or grease spill (except in the ocean) is to sprinkle the spill with flour and then simply sweep it up.

     My favorite one is that when you put your toilet paper so it rolls over the top instead of under, it saves 6% in usage.

     Thank you again for being here, and turning my dreams into a reality. I appreciate it!
