Taste To
Come Home To!
George Georgoudis
has been working in his family's Russell Street Vito's
Restaurant since it opened in 1972. He says, "At that time,
it was more or less a take-out and you could see our fathers and
uncles making pizzas. We made and still do, hand-stretched pizza
and every pizza was made by flipping it in the air. It was such
a novelty, people would sit and watch them make pizzas all day and
wouldn't leave. We ended up putting up a partition so that
people would eat and go."
Besides pizzas
and pastas Vito's most popular dish and biggest seller is
Chicken Caesar which is a trademark registered throughout Canada.
It is Boneless Breast of Chicken with Italian ham spiced with Mozerella
cheese in the middle and rolled, served with rice pilaf and caesar
salad.
Vito's is definitely
a family business. All sauces are homemade, and nobody except family
members know what spices are in their secret recipe. The mothers
contribute a mouth-watering dessert - Vito's cake - a fluffy
white cake with custard in the middle and a whipped coconut topping
on the top.

"You're
always welcome at Billy's"
Celebrating ten years
in uptown Saint John, Billy's Seafood Company has earned a
reputation for providing excellent service and serving exceptional
food. His unique concept of a combination seafood restaurant and
retail fish market offers the freshest seafood available.
"Originally we
intended to have a fish market and an oyster bar, but when we saw
the size of the kitchen we thought about the possibility of having
a full service restaurant" says Grant. "Everything we
prepare at Billy's comes directly from our fish market, which
means that we have total control over the quality of the food on
the plate."
Alongwith lunch and nightly
specials, they also pack anything on ice so it can be transported
safely and easily. Billy's restaurant has been named in Where
to Eat in Canada, and also featured in such publications as Frommers
Travel Guides and Maritime Flavours Guidebook & Cookbook.
