| - Ah, Johnny's! This place is like... the epitome of Family Restaurant. At least... for my family it is. No visit to Pennsylvania is complete without a group of us coming here for dinner. My grandparents 50th wedding anniversary was here (which unfortunately, I couldn't attend ): )
Food isn't fantastic, but it's good, and we always enjoy ourselves. When I visited recently, I heard that the restaurant had changed management so we were all a little concerned about the quality when we went for dinner. I couldn't remember if it had changed or not, but my aunt thought her eggplant had been better before or something, but maybe she was just being picky :P The staff is the same, still friendly and knowing everyones names. The same people still go. My gramma went to school with one of the old dudes we'd always see there without fail... I think he was the mayor? But he's really old, and his name is Cooch or Hooch or something. Anyway it was always cute seeing my tottering old gramma with her tottering old classmate. Man... people stay in Wilmerding forever :P. Anyway... last time we went he was apparently really sick and wasn't there ): which is sad. Enough of my rambling... but you can see how its one of those great places that you have stories about and will always return to.
Also, the last time we went was especially amazing because Pittsburgh jazz legend Howard Betters performed, and it was really really fun :D He is awesome. Yeah, I was a member of that loud table right next to the stage that clapped along with every song :P
