agent_daniLast night I discovered that I once dined at a restaurant that was on the show Restaurant: Impossible and subsequently closed.
To be clear, I visited the establishment long before they were so troubled - nearly 20 years before the show paid them a visit. It was a double date with my first fiancee, her best friend, and said friend's flavor of the month, for which we did a few things but one was dinner at Anna Maria's in Dunmore, Pennsylvania. I distinctly remember the evening, including that the food was not bad but not worth going so far out of the way. If they were in a place where good Italian food was rare they could have killed, but that part of Pennsylvania was not so - Italians were one of the mid-20th century ethnic groups to settle in the area and many opened restaurants so there were a hundred restaurants offering good Italian food there.
