Weekly Open Thread Respects the Old Skool

WOT spent a little time in Florida recently, and went to a classic Italian-American joint, Papa Tony, in Winter Springs, Fla.

Located in an old gas station on a state road, it was reminiscent of Mama Mia. It offered the same comforting, well-made classics like eggplant parmesan, cheese pizza, linguine with clam sauce. The calamari was crisp and light. That vanishing species, the bread basket, made an appearance. That other vanishing species, the carafe (and half-carafe) of wine were unexpectedly good quality.

It was really, really good. Good, in a 1974 way that still held up in 2010.

Bites reports exciting new food events in Nashville, and remembers the old faithfuls, too. Had a good experience at an old standby this week? Or found something that seems likely to become one? Bites is your place for discussion, comment and wishes.
