I've even complained to the D.O.N. on this place not getting me the foods my doctor recommended to me and I've been here 14 days now. I'm spoiled I've been in really good places for food. Oh and I have a tuna salad sandwich or chicken salad sandwich for lunch every day and it's ok at best. No 4* ratings for this place! And I know my food I offered to run their kitchen -or- the entire joint and I meant it..... this is the Anmal House of hospitals, any my doctor is on staff here and she's good! Oh well GAMEDAY FOOD dreamin'....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Grimaldi's is located under the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn... the original owner is from one of the original pizza families of New York City. This pizza had fried eggplant, pepperoni and ricotta cheese on it. Delicious! I'm just dreamn' of good food again here in this culinary wasteland.....I will say that finally they are trying.....we used to play "find the missing food" everyday here generally 2, 3 or 4 items each meal, no kidding they forgot milk 3 meals in a row......then the Director of Nursing went into the kitchen to see what was happening!! There have been some improvements since. Well back to the culinary Oasis of Grimaldi's in NYC,. this just has the look and I can only imagine the smell and taste of an old original NYC style pizza. The pepperonis and other toppings don't have that perfect look of a manufactured franchise pizza (generally a big yuck from me). -but- have that quickly made and perfectly cooked pizza. They make them FAST and sell them FAST! (I just hit save image. ) Thanks a whole lot Sean ......our dinner trays just came with a perfectly round clump of instant mashed potatoes with goo gravey and a stuffed green pepper...... haven't tried it yet. OH BIG HOSPITAL TIP O' THE DAY - bring your own salt & pepper shakers and anything else that you enjoy! Bon appetit! Oh only forgot 1 item today..... my chocolate Ensure, I told him to skip it. .......oh I just realized that they forgot my coffee too? Geeezzzzzz.

Don't use the fake butter they put down for mashed potatoes, grits or whatever. Holy crap that stuff is like eating Crisco straight out of a 60 year old can. You know, the old congealed white Crisco. May as well eat day old bacon grease which at least has a flavor other than uncooked pig fat.🧐🐷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashed potatoes I covered them with pepper and salt. And goo gravey is just that goo in a big barrel. And they have a chicken flavored goo gravey and who knows what that comes in???

Everyone else gets it right but them. On to lunch with my standard tuna salad sandwich and side salad the last place was great one of the best I've had. I don't want to bore everyone else with scary lousy hospital food stories . but this place stinks! I've gotten spoiled with some good hospital food over the last few years. Trick or treat!!! Uhhhhhghhh. Strictly trick here. And of course Sean with his really delicious looking homemade Italian pizza pictures........yeah thanks Sean.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 When my brother was in rehab after having CHF and AFIB, he was on a salt free diet. He said the food was unedible. He lost 35 lbs in one month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcam222 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Been making sausage for the freezer the last week or so. I do patties as we prefer them to links. Found a new recipe for German style brats that is the bomb!! So here some plated up. Double decker bratwurst patties with Swiss cheese and a dill kraut on homemade Swiss rye chaffles with a side of a spin on German potato salad made from Daikon radish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 The hospital culinary wasteland continues. (I miss my previous places, cooked to order good food. ) Two days ago I had Salisbury steak, scalloped potatoes, corn......I got a hamburger covered with brown goo, the cheapest box mix potatoes you can imagine and blah corn. I know that the guys in the Youngstown jail are eating better than me. Last night my wife felt bad and brought me lasagne in a good sausage and meat sauce. Tonight GAMEDAY NIGHT still TBD. SO what's on your menu for the Pittsburgh at CLEVELAND game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO what's on your menu for the Pittsburgh at CLEVELAND game? Hospital food is AWFUL because it's "institutional food", but back in the 1980's I worked at Warren General Hospital, a small Osteopathic Hospital & the food was homemade (NOT institutional), and some of the best food I have ever tasted. One little lady made the best rhubarb pie I have ever had. Sadly, Warren General is no more, but my memories from there are cherished. As far as tonight, too cold for us to tailgate, so my Brother & I will meet at Mission BBQ in Parma (Chopped Brisket marinated in Memphis Belle Sauce is the BOMB!) & take the Transit to the game.
