ILMOTOUR 2010-- Part 8-- Road Boaters Again

Like I said, Road Boaters used to be J.J. Twigg's and had only been open a month back in June when we were there. The place had been completely remodeled and the bar moved.

The owner, Latham, is from Roscoe, Illinois, a little north of Rockford. He also owns a business in Las Vegas where he does casino landscaping and lawn maintenance. In addition, he has a restaurant in Big Bear, California. If you ask me, this is one really busy man.

Road Boaters was having its grand opening this weekend.

Their menu is not your standard bar grill fare. We were getting a little hungry so tried the Wasabe Burger & fries for $7.95. A unique creation to say the least.

The Chicago Blackhawks won 4-3 in overtime, their first Stanley Cup in 47 years!!! Are you going to remember where you were when the Hawks finally won again. And the really amazing thing is that the new owner, Rocky Wirtz, the son of the previous owner turned an almost forgotten Chicago team into a winner like this in just three years.

We had another pitcher of beer for $7 to celebrate.

Go You Hawks!! --RoadDog
