BB took me out for a special birthday dinner at Pearson’s in Mortdale. I’d passed this restaurant many times when I lived around the corner, but thinking that it was a posh place, never ventured inside. It turned out to be more homely than I thought. The food was lovely, and lovingly made by the single chef in a tiny kitchen. Considering that he had what must have been 30 customers to serve, it seemed a bit of a miracle to me.

We start out the dinner with two lovely entrees. I had the wonderful scallops wrapped in bacon. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the bacon were a tasty companion to the soft shellfish.

BB had stuffed mushrooms and was also very satisfied with his choice.
