kerry is off this entire week. as she had some free time today (and since because she was in neighboring salem), she thought it would be a good idea to grab a bite to eat together.
we decided to grab lunch at lime rickey's beach food in marblehead. now, i suck at lime rickey's beach food. i have never been to lime rickey's. i had heard of the place from the phantom gourmet one day when i was flipping channels (because i don't normally watch the phantom gourmet). in fact, the only reason the phantom gourmet caught my attention (aside from the food of course) was that it had mentioned the town of marblehead which is where i work.
the phantom gourmet gave lime rickey's a favorable review, so i had suggested it to kerry. i actually drive by lime rickey's whenever i commute to work. i pass by the swampscott location in the morning. there are only two lime rickey's locations and the marblehead location is... well... supposedly the fancier one because it resides on what is referred to as "the neck" in marblehead. "the neck" in marblehead is the fancier side of marblehead with the big huge houses. apparently, i just work in the 'hood of marblehead.
anyway, kerry picked me up at my company. she could probably tell you... getting to my place of employment... very convoluted and difficult. but she was able to find it. so we headed off to devereaux beach, which is where the marblehead location of lime rickey's is.
(pictured below is kerry during our lunch.)
i will agree with the phantom gourmet. the food was pretty good. i had a fried fish sandwich and a raspberry lime rickey. (cue rachael ray's "yum-o" sound.) i had to have the lime rickey... because that's their name... and that's what they are supposed to be good at making. truth be told, i would have preferred if the cup were larger with less ice... but it was good nonetheless. (while i'm at it, i probably would have preferred the tuna melt too, which was my original choice for lunch. unfortunately, they were out of tuna today.) all in all, the food was good. i would even say that the fish sandwich was better than king's in salem.
in addition to the good food, the weather was great... it was a perfect day to spend at the beach. the only problem... devereaux beach... not too clean. kerry was a little horrified, to say the least, at the amount of litter on the beach. apparently, marblehead "neck"ers should spend less time necking... and more time cleaning... although i suppose if i were given the choice, i'd probably choose necking too.
litter aside, i had a great time with my bff. i'd love to do lunch again with kerry.
