A party in your mouth…

So I head over to the Rock Island Food Company last night in search of something really good for dinner. What a dinner it turned out to be…. Some of the best Cod Cakes ever…pan fried with lemon infused olive oil. I paired that with 

Meatloaf gets the death sentence…

and you thought I was going to break into Paradise by the Dashboard Light. No, the meatloaf I speak of is the one made by the Rock Island Food Company. “But DotRat…what was it’s crime?”  Well, meatloaf with mac & cheese as an accessory to induce 

The New Year…

The New Year…

Hello Dot Rats …. it’s been a while. I just wanted to take a second to send my condolences out to the McColgan family. I’m sure Don was a great man. I wish I could have been their to pay my respects. Keep your chin up Mike and Don!!

So Dotrat.com stands at just under 14,000 hits since I started blogging again in September. I’m pretty excited about that….we even get hits from Europe on a regular basis which is incredible. I have to thank Boombalotty, Universalhub, WickedImproper and Emily Sweeney again for their support. The Rock Island Food company for keeping me powered up. Last but certainly not least….. Big George for telling me to do something with dotrat.com….The elder statesman of Dorchester was right again. His definition of a DotRat video has to be an Oscar contender….

I got some plans for 2012….stay tuned.

Rock Lobster!

Rock Lobster!

Will somebody play the taps for this chocolate chip banana muffin? I almost want to stuff a lit cigarette in the side of it and say a prayer because it doesn’t stand a chance…. Rock Island Food Company

Rock Island Rocks!

Rock Island Rocks!

In my quest to find the best eats around I finally paid a visit to the Rock Island Food Company last night. Judging by the chocolate chip banana muffin I smashed in 2 minutes flat….we have a potential all-star here. You can always tell if someone loves to cook when you taste anything they make….it’s pretty apparent the folks at Rock Island love what they do. After talking a bit with the very nice owner, I guess this is a small family catering business that’s grown to include a store. I can only see good things for this young venture….head down to Hough’s Neck and help these folks get off to a great start. I promise you will not be disappointed…..DotRat’s honor!!

You have to see the menu on their website……
