Good chicken parmesan (takeout)

This is my concern—it appears too...fancy...for us. My kids are perfectly behaved at restaurants, so we can take them anywhere, but we're just not into that environment/culture/whatever.

I am surprised to hear about Canoe (above), though. We'd swapped to the Bob House a few years ago after Canoe updated their menu (and the prices to go along with it), but now I'm intrigued.

Honestly, outside of a few nights here or there, we've mostly stuck to grabbing gas station pizza and chicken at Greene's on our way to camp Friday nights. Once we're at camp, we pretty much stay at camp.

It's not that fancy. I don't dress up to go there, usually in jeans and T shirt or sweat shirt.
The bartenders and servers have been there a long time and are very "get to know you" people. The food is always exceptional!
It's our "go to" place as it's only a mile from my house and we usually sit at the bar.
I will say that people complain about the reservation times. They are always busy and usually save table for guests that are staying at the inn. That frustrates people when the see empty table that are reserved.

Thanks for that—if it fits into our plan, we'll give it a go!

Great idea. I'm totally stealing that one. Pork tenderloin maybe the most underrated cut of protein out there.

I hear that quite a few places substitute pork for veal in veal parm.

Yes sold as veal parm. At least that is what I have been told from a restaurant owner.

I would highly doubt that Fratellos, Italian Farmhouse, Lagos etc etc. would do that.

If you cannot taste the difference between veal and pork you taste buds are deficient.

Personally not a fan of veal because to me it tastes like nothing.

This has been going on for years with mislabeling fish

I like veal if it's sliced thin
I remember getting a veal parm sub in East Boston many years ago and it was absolutely the best veal I ever had. I can't remember the restaurant but any veal that I've had since hasn't lived up to that sandwich.

You all forgot about Lyons Den ? How is that possible ?

Best on this side of the lake for sure. Bet they'd make it with veal if you asked, but the chicken is awesome so why would you ?

I had a nice chicken parm over spaghetti tonight at the Village Kitchen, and while called the small portion for $6.50, it was quite large, I couldn't even finish it!

I prefer the large portion for a few dollars more, which provides enough leftovers for a meal the next day.

Now y'all got me thinking either a. I need to give the VK another look or b. What I define as "small" or "large" is significantly different...

I was going to the Bob House tuesday, didn't realize it was closed, turned around and went to the Mug. I should have kept going to VK!
Although the burger at the mug was awesome.

Went to the Bob House on Wednesday and got the chicken parm. It was huge and I hadn't eaten all day so there were no left overs.
