Fillig Station best iiiDurham Region We have had the pleasure of dining at some very fine restaurants in Durham Region over the past few months, but eating at The Filting Station, 948 Sinicoe St. North, in Oshawa last week, was one of the most enjoyable evenings we have had in a long time. Owned and operated by Sven and Judy Larson, a very Young couple to be in charge of such an operation, (ages 23 and 20 respec- tively), The Filling Station is bright, warm, the food ex- cellent, and at very reasonable prices. Sven and Judy had been doing consultation work in the food industry and landed in Oshawa more by accident than design. They learned that the present establish- ment was up for sale and decided to start out on their own. Sven recatîs how they got the name for the restaurant; and with a wry smile, told us that he and a business friend were on a trip in the southern United States, when one day at lunch time, feeling hungry, they kept an eye open for an eating spot. They came on what tooked like an otd gas station, which it was at one time; now tran- sformed into a restaurant. In talking, to the management, they learned that the restaurant had been a gas station that at one time had been robbed by the in- famous Bonnie and Clyde. The name The Fitling Station stuck with Sven, s0 when he and his wife Judy decided to open their dining lounge, they chôse that name. One has to admit that it is different. Once seated, the first thing to catch the diner's eye, is the very unique menu. t is large in size with legibte type. The cover was designed by Silvja Reinhotd, a former student at Durham College. The name The Filting Station is done in a large bold script, and the illustration depicts a young woman in a broad brimmed hat sitting beside an otd fashioned gasoline pump. The watts in the dining rooms are warm and bright, and you have the pleasure of reatty seeing what you are eating. The heading at the top of the menu is catled Starters, which includes items like Deep Fried Zucchini, Potato Skins deep fried and crispy and loaded with cheddar cheese and crumpled bacon, Baby Shrimps, Salads, or Soups. They have a special tist 'For Our Friends Under 12,' which covers the hot dog, burger and chicken dishes. For the main course 1 had the New York Strip, which came char-broiled to perfec- tion, with rough cut fries, satad and cole staw. Joy had duck a l'orange which is slowty cooked in Grand Marnier and served with av very special sauce. This too, rSTEAK I4OUSE 918 BROCK ST.

The food was very well prepared, in fact so well done, we asked Sven to extend our com- pliments to the chef. At most restaurnats you visit today, you are of fered a choice of going to a salad bar. At The Filting Station, you get a'salad with you meal and have the choice of making a trip to the dessert bar. Here, you get a large dish of ice cream, then you go to town, pouring on your own syrups, nuts, whipped cream or whatever happens to please you. It was the fir- st time in my tife I ever made my own sundae, and it was a rea), treat if I do say so myseif. Sven and Judy enjoy a very nice clientele. Through carefut buying of meats and produce, they have been able to keep prices within a very reasonabte range. Would you believe that our two dinners actually came to under $20? If you want wine or other drinks from the bar, of course, this is extra. We feel that The Filling Station will do very wetl, and that they witt enjoy a lot of referral business from very satisfied dîners. 121 GREEN ST.WHIT Y,ONT LICEINSED BY LLBO Ta Celebrate Our New Menu Manday ta Friday, 5 P.M. to 1 A.M. with the chaice ai Any Meal COMPLIMENTS of ANTONY'S we are including tram aur A PPETIZER MENU (Expires Feb. 27th, 1981) Vour Choice 0f A,, Soup, Escargot, Shrimp Cocktail, Qysters Rockefeller, Crab Cocktail.
