What's a little hometown Yelping between friends?
Who knows - some of y'all might meander through Kent, Ohio one of these days... and, won't it be nice to know a few good places to stop along the way?
The Pufferbelly - is where I went on my first date - it is one of the "fancier" restaurants in Kent. At least it was in 1986.
The cool part of this restaurant is that a goodly portion of it is located in an old train car... next to the railroad tracks... next to the river... with a view of the Kent waterfall.
Scenic.
The food here is amazing. They make this chicken with some sort of walnut/wine glaze and cheese that makes my mouth water... I think the Pufferbelly was the first place I ever had triple creme brie, too. And, please do not get me started on the French friggin' onion soup... like you died and went straight to foodie heaven -- HOME MADE.
If you ever have cause to be in Kent, Ohio - stop on by the Pufferbelly - totally worth the trip.
