The Fanwood location was quick to mention the batter recipe was passed to them from The Chippery but it didn’t seem like it to me.
Last time I looked, Drake was the chef at Rudolph’s Steakhouse in Bernardsville.
Junior - Speaking of Edison, do you remember the Captain’s Wheel?
The Captains Wheel if I remember correctly was on the South side of 1 about a mile or so from Green Street in Iselin, am I right? (now the site of a strip mall) The staples on 1 and Green St. used to be a restaurant too, I forget the name but I think it had a nautical theme too.
The Staples used to be the Greenwood Manor if I recall correctly. Also there was another place on Route 1 and Ford Ave. called Captain G’s.
Yes, you are correct. These were all a bit “before my time”…I think you are correct the Greenwod Manor was the Staples location and the location I was explaining to you was Capt. G’s not the Captains Wheel, so the answer to your question is yes I remember it but by name alone.
From 1986-1991 I worked at 2000 Park Ave in South Plainfield NJ (name is location) it used to be the old Jacques Restaurant. It was owned by a Greek family whom I became very close with and after we would close we would often head over to the Greenwood Manor for “last call” (often staying with the owners till well past closing) , then from there we would head to The Galaxy Diner on St. George Ave. (who also had a liquor license)…even though I was under age (until - 1991) I would get served with them at the Greenwood, Galaxy and The Pines Manor. Those were the big Greek-owned spots of the time.
Wow…you have opened up a flood gate of memories.

I’m not going to actually “miss” this place, but I couldn’t find a thread about the brand so I’m putting this here. Tilted Kilt in East Brunswick is CLOSED. I actually picked up lunch from the Panera next door and they were holding an auction for the contents. I thought about walking through, but I doubt they had any kilts in my size.
I had only gone to this place a handful of times, mostly when it first opened and it was honestly awful every visit I made.
