Also they are open sporadiclaly...lol. Wed Oct 11 20:19:15 -0700 2006 1938530 46235 Johnresa 3 1941410 Yeah, I have noticed they're open sporadically. I've driven by there at around 5:30 (certainly dinner hour) and they've been closed. So..... Thu Oct 12 18:15:28 -0700 2006 1938959 11805 twentyoystahs 1 1938810 Thanks for the Lord Jeff's tip. My friend from South Carolina (lives in the North End now) claims he makes the best but doesn't know where to find them in Boston. Now I can put him to the test. SPICY chittins', baby!
