"I still find it hard to speak about the Phillies loss in the first round. I watched a lot of those games, as well as many other of my favorite teams games at Ventnor, a little slice of Philadelphia on 18th Street N.W. To me, the place has always been very friendly. They have a knack for hiring fun staff, the food is good, and Philly Phans Phlock there, so it's always easy to talk to anyone at the bar.
Now to why I am writing about this place: I was really hungry. One of the reasons I stopped in there was because they have this great pigs-in-the blanket appetizer. I ordered a Bud and the pigs. Catherine, the bartender, says, "Ahhh we just took them off the menu." I am crushed and ask for a menu. She gives it to me, and I peruse. I see "Fried Lobster Mac." Ask the bartender about it- she says get it. I do.
Mac and cheese with lump lobster, seemingly formed by an ice cream scoop, and then deep fried lightly with a really nice bread crumby crust. Ladies and Gentlemen - may I present the newest best plate on 18th St. It is fantastic and only $11."
