[Sca-cooks] OT: VB Eateries

[Rosine]

> Is the Jewish Mother still open? How about the Duck In?

   The Jewish Mother has expanded and has satelite eateries in Portsmouth
and Norfolk. As happens, it's more unique qualities have been sacrificed to
Yuppie-chasing - the decor hasn't changed much at the original one, but they
no longer hand out crayons and folks aren't encouraged to wrtie on the walls
and ceilings. The satelite places are glass and chrome - and they host
kareoke.

   The Duck Inn is still there, the seafood is too good to mention to
non-VaBeach residents, and there's a new volleyball net on the beach. Oh,
and I think they redid their pier.

> Did they ever reopen Grate Steak? I miss a grill it yourself place ;-(

   It's open, popular, and I can't tell you about the steaks because I keep
ordering the Prime Rib.

   The Heritage Center has expanded and now sports a deli. Its vegitarian
food is *wonderful*. Pricey, by our standards, but worth it.
