My team had to travel to Whippany, NJ for some training.
We rented a van and off we went for the week...
We stopped for lunch at a little tavern/bar along the way...Toasted Monkey Tavern! The food was good, waitress was hilarious but food was really, really slow. To their benefit, they are not used to getting big groups on people on Monday afternoon...they are busy at night and weekends so I think that was the issue.
Little selfie with one of my co-workers...
We had an intense week of training. Seems weird right; training for employees when they are closing down our site? Well...we are losing a lot of people already and I think it is their way to keep us engaged and hopeful for the next year until the closing. I figured if it is training on my resume...I'm in!
We had one really nice group dinner at a local Italian restaurant called Trattoria Toscana. It was amazing!!!! Seriously!! If you are ever in the Whippany, NJ area make reservations and go here! I think you have to have reservations...it is always busy and rightfully so!
They start your table off with a complimentary order of bruschetta...it was sooo delicious!
I ordered the capellini pasta with Gorgonzola sauce and shrimp! It was so creamy and delicious!
Thursday we began our drive back home.
On the way home; we stopped at Legends. My brother-in-law recommended it and it was fantastic bar food!
We all shared a bunch of appetizers.
Here are the fried pickles...
and fried onion blossom strips...
Before we left; we asked the waitress to get our picture as a group...here we are after eating tables full of fried deliciousness!!! My adorable co-workers!!! Dave on the far left, Matt next him and then me, Terri and Liz! Such a fun group of people I get to work with...at least for another few months!! :-)
Have a fantastic Tuesday - hugs to you all!
Do you ever splurge and eat "unhealthy food"? How often? Do you like fried pickles? What is your favorite fried appetizer? Do you like to try new places or always return to the same restaurants?
HUGS!!
