We Go Out In Savannah

CHARLY'S RESTAURANT TYBEE ISLAND

Friday is the best day of the week. On a recent Friday, Mr. Fettucini and Ms. Goulash, along with our friends, dined at Charly's Restaurant on Tybee Island, located on Campbell. Mr. Fettucini, please elaborate:

Mr. Fettucini: Hhhhh, Hhhhhh, Hhhhhh, hey to all you's. I got stuck on my h's because everything is H these days here in Savannah. Hazy Hot, Humid Hot and Hot Hot. Even Ms. Goulash is an H to me these days........remember, I'm stuck on H's....... she's my Honey.....what did you think I was gonna say....I'm hot , not stupid! So, we took the convertible to Tybee. It's really cool drivin' with the top down and Ms. Goulash and me looked really cool too. Her head scarf with those round metal medallion things on it makes all kinds of jingly sounds in the wind. Now, if I could only find a way to keep my Stetson from blowin off (Ms. Goulash complains about her arm gettin' tired from holdin' the hat down on my head...hey, Ms. Goulash, it's only 20 miles to Tybee). You heard the sayin', Sorry Charlie? Well, noboby's goin' to be sorry about eatin' at Charly's. The outside of this place is painted kind'a like a cottage you'd find in Key West. Inside, the walls are lined with original artwork, there's contemporary lightin' and soft jazz is playin' on their sound system. We started out impressed. There was 8 of us, so they led us into a private room. Again, we were impressed. They had a nice wine selection. A bottle of Clos du Bois and a bottle of Kenwood were ordered for our group. Our entrees included grilled salmon for Mrs. Smith, lamb lollipops for Mr. Smith, crab cakes for Mrs. T. and Ms. Goulash, fried oysters for Markus, fried scallops for Laura Legs and Mr. T. and shrimp over a bed of linguini for me....hey, I'm Italian...there's gotta be pasta on the table or it ain't dinner time. 3 times the charm, 'cause we were impressed with everything that came outt'a Charly's kitchen. There was a special for the evenin' of all you can eat snow crabs. No one in our group ordered this but Markus gestered or said something to Charly and the next thing you know, each couple had a snow crab cluster (I'm still not sure what Markus said to Charly but Charly didn't look real scared...you know me, I'm not askin' any questions). Even the snow crabs were great. Mrs. Smith said she's never gonna eat snow crabs anywhere else except at Charly's (yeah, they were that good).

Ms. Goulash: Dahlings, I simply adored Charly's. We had such a fun night. I especially loved the photo of all us girls taken after our little dance for the boys while we still had a rose clenched between our teeth. You know I've never made a fool of myself but when I tried to refresh my glass of wine and couldn't get a drop out of the bottle because it still had the cork in it, I felt it was time to switch to water dahlings.
