Aah, New York! I was going to have dinner at Spark's Steak House the other night but had to cancel. My bullet proof vest is still at the cleaners.

Very cool. I wish there was a steak house like that in my area!

I think it’s ok to go again. Hardly anyone's been shot there since Gambino & Bilotti 38 years ago.

I'm sure @The Clay King would love this place!

I doubt he’d touch his food, probably crick his neck from looking up & promptly pass out!

Funny ideas the Americans have, when it comes to bars & restaurants.
I remember years ago a fancy place in Kansas City bought an old boxing booths show front, from here in the UK & had it cut up & transported to the states. The boxing promoter was Jack Gage, a very close friend of my late grandfather. I wonder if any members here from KC have dined there. @kcghost? @georged ?

Here’s a photo of it when it was touring the fairgrounds.

BTW, Gambino was already dead it was Castellano.

Oops, you’re right. But it’s still ok to shoot a guy who’s already dead, right?

If he needs it, yes.

 

[jpberg]

And the last time I was there, it was still a chop house. When did the name change?

 

[seanv]

That's funny. Someone was just telling me about this yesterday. Cool idea, too bad you can't smoke one in there

@simong I was smoking my longest stem clay at the Battle of Nantwich a week ago today. 1792 Flake in it!

Nah mate, isn't he the guy that does Homer's voice?

 

[Brendan]

On another note, I'd never think to try dottle as steak seasoning, but hey I love dousing my steaks in pepper anyway.

That places bar is a favorite of my wife. I like the restaurant and I am very partial to all sorts of things on their menu. I would often have lunch there before catching the sleeper car back to Florida. They display some of the clay pipes smoked by a few of the more famous patrons of the place.

An antique round, white ceramic match-holder (similar to the one pictured below) graces my desk as a pleasant reminder of a more-pleasant age...

@condorlover1 I was smoking 1792 Flake in the clay at the Battle of Nantwich. Been for a few pints with a friend today; we're going to an all you can eat venue in Barnsley next week. I can almost taste all that steak!
