Roy had a hankering for jambalaya. There’s no jambalya here in the burbs; actually there’s not much of anything here in the burbs if you like good food, so we decided to go to Darryl’s Corner Bar on Columbus Avenue.
Darryl’s used to be Bob the Chef’s. We’d go there way back in the 70’s for some of their famous Glorifried Chicken. There wasn’t really anything like it at the time. Bob the Chef’s sat at the far edge of the South End, on the “other side of the tracks”. Bob would greet you in his captain’s hat and say “God Bless” when you left. The waitresses had been there for a million years. Bob was shot there one night and then one day the restaurant was no more. Darryl Settles bought it, yupified it and tried to keep the same recipes; it was good but not Bob’s and for whatever reason, he sold it. It’s been reincarnated a few times and then Darryl bought it back. It doesn’t look anything like it used to. It’s all exposed brick, nice ambient lighting and a great bar!
