Papa Joe's Italian Restaurant in Brooksville

[Grumpy]

They are back open after the fire last year.  Not planning a ride, just a heads up, real good place to eat.

  Yes Bill, Papa Joes has real good food.
I saw it last weekend on our ride. It appears the used the same footprint. The building looks identical to the old before the fire, size, shape and color.

We used to ride for lunch with my local riding group.

Is that the one east of Brooksville on 98? Guess I didn't know they had a fire, was good food as I recall.

[Grumpy]

About 1 year ago, burnt completely to the ground.

Would this be best as B-fast or lunch?   I thought (not sure on this) someone said once they have amazing b-fast. 

[Grumpy]

I don't see a breakfast menu, just lunch and dinner.

We have eaten there a lot before the fire.  Only for dinner.  Food was always excellent.

Uhhh John..Schmidt? Italian? 

[John Schmidt]

Italian? Yup! Adopted at age 2 by John & Marie Schmidt. My bio-grandfather came from the east side of the lower Italian peninsula, his last name was Adamo. My bio-mother from England but also mostly ITi. They say Italian men like to pinch women on the butt, they're right. Rita still gets a pinch once in a while.    Rita, being part Cherokee, doesn't believe in pinching on the butt!!!!

John you are lucky she hasn't scalped you.

[Grumpy]

John, gotta adopt my way, pinch and duck. I am getting pretty good at it, she misses most of the time.
