Ok, I rate food and drinks by past experience. I’ll start with the drink order. I ordered the Scully’s Old Fashioned. My benchmark is from my grandfather. He made them with such detail and care. They were the best and I have never been able to find one that came close until the one from Scully’s. It is my grandfather’s Old Fashioned reincarnated.
I ordered the Walleye dinner. Again, my grandfather, who was a great fisherman, had fish fry dinners after his trips to Canada. He fried the walleye in lard with a beer batter. It was the best tasting fish I’ve ever had. I rate all fish fries after that. Again, I have not had anything better until the walleye at Scully’s. It is my grandfather’s reincarnated.
Next, I had the potato pancakes as a side. My benchmark for potato pancakes was my mom’s. They were not good at all (sorry mom). Don’t get me wrong, she was a great cook. In fact we used to say that she should be a caterer. Anyway, that ruined me for potato pancakes. I kept trying them over the years and never found any I liked until Scully’s. So tasty. I will get them every time I go to Scully’s, which will be every chance I get.
Don’t get me started on the desert. The chocolate mousse was great. You know sometimes the chocolate mousse at some restaurants is basically just chocolate pudding. This was not. It has a chocolate cake bottom crust and a chocolate fudge top crust. Fantastic.
Oh yeah, we had the fried pickles for a starter. Better than Hooters, which is where they started and were considered the benchmark.
Scully’s is my new benchmark for all the items I had.
