Jesse’s Girl (OK, Woman)

Gerry and I have been driving past Jesse’s Embers for two decades and all that time I’ve been saying I’d like to eat there sometime.  Well sometime was last night, man!  I loved it!  Jesse’s is tiny, covered in dark wood paneling alternating with red brick.  That night the clientele was like us.  How shall I put it…? I know!  Nobody was edgy.  Gerry’s silver hair was in style.  You get the daguerreotype.  Gerry told the manager it was my birthday and you know it’s always my secret wish to get something for free on my birthday.  The dude delivered!  An individual cake with one candle – my favorite white cake with white frosting.   He did make the tactical mistake of asking if I wanted him to sing happy birthday.  Yes.  So I got a ‘happy birthday dear customer’.  Aces!

  1. I have never eaten there either, but have driven by many times over the years. If I do go , I won't be able to write about it. and I will make sure I do not go on my birthday.:)
