Santa Claus came for coffee yesterday

Santa was in town for our annual Downtown Open House and he stopped by for coffee and a cinnamon bun.

The ladies were a bit surprised by the holiday visitor, who stopped in the doorway for a picture:



For all of us who've eaten here at The 123 (or even walked in and smelled all the wonderful, yummy aromas), we know Chef Cheryl has been good all year long.

Chef Cheryl gets a hug (Santa must've liked the cinnamon bun):

What a View!

(For more pictures from the top of the hill, go on over to The Taylor County Blog Project)

You can barely see The 123 if you know closely:

Todd Burge
Friday October 16th 8pm

"From Bob Dylan to Randy Newman to Loudon Wainwright III, the very best singer/songwriters -no matter what their style of music - share a common trait: they all have a great, ironic sense of humor. Todd Burge is West Virginia's contribution to this tradition. Around this state he's probably the 'dean' of all the singer/songwriters. The finest singer & songwriter that we have.”Larry Groce, Host of PBS's Mountain Stage

Lunch Today

Hot Roast Beef Sandwich
served open-faced with mashed potatoes and gravy.

The roast was slow cooked to be nice and tender.
The gravy is real gravy.
The mashed potatoes are real potatoes.
No kidding.
Chef Cheryl makes everything from scratch. That's why we do the Daily Hot Special: you're assured that it was made today from the freshest ingredients.
Stop by and try it.

Also:
Now that it's a little bit cooler outside, we've once again added soup. A different soup everyday, and we;re not talking broth here. Our soups are always hearty and fresh.

I'll take some pictures here in a little while when the food is done....
