John's Frosted Mug is a
restaurant slash bar located on the main drag in the small
southwestern town of Forsyth Missouri. It's been around for almost
forever as has the owner John Sumner. I like to frequent the joint
for the main reason that it is only a mile or so from my place. And
while the exterior might look a little worn with time, the inside
features nice tables and bar stools.
On a otherwise dreary day in August, I
ambled into the establishment's air conditioned coolness with a sense
of relief, as my AC unit was on semi permanent hiatus. The bartender,
on that day, was the ever beautiful Judy Brown; a professional if
there ever was one! Honestly, I've never seen a customer have to wait
very long to be served when Judy was behind the bar. (She has that
kind of sixth sense or spacial awareness that separates a so-so type
of employee from the Awesome kind of person who seems to know what you
want even before you did)!
Also in attendance was Tim Evans, the chef, and
just a smattering of 'regulars' such as Morrison,
Wally, and my good friend Donnie Oakley who was the proud owner of an awesome Harley that looked to be in mint condition!
While I there, I had a chance to sample
a slice of the Mug's signature pizza. And, while the picture at right is a bit
fuzzy, it tasted just awesome. The Mug has a full menu, and over the
years, I've sample many of their offerings, all of which have been first
class in taste while staying at an affordable cost!
