Operating their Dallas
restaurant, Pickett’s
Charge, keeps Annette
busy. Decorated in rustic
Civil War decor featuring
a collection of original
Civil War guns and old
photographs, Pickett’s
Charge has been in opera-
tion for the past 41 years.
Pickett’s Charge serves
breakfasts, lunches and
continental dinners.
Breakfast includes a
variety of omelettes as
well as eggs, French toast
and pancakes. During the
month of February, the
breakfast special has
been 75 cents although it
usually costs 95 cents.
Lunches include a salad
bar, and four luncheon
cluding the beverage.
These specials are offered
with the working person
in mind, who has to buy
his or her lunch out each
day.
Mostly gourmet dishes,
some Italian and French,
are offered on Pickett's
Charge dinner menu. Tom
does a lot of gourmet
cooking with his chef.
Veal Pickett’s Way and
Shrimp Scampi prove to
be very popular with the
patrons, as well as prime
rib,’ which is served only
on Saturday nights.
All desserts are home-
made at Pickett’s Charge.
A variety of pies, cakes
and rice pudding are
offered. The special house
dessert is French fried ice
cream. French fried ice
either vanilla or chocolate
ice cream in a graham
cracker and nut base,
freezing it solid, then deep
frying it. This produces a
warm outside while the
inside remains cold.
Pickett’s Charge also
features a well stocked
bar, and a pleasant lounge
area. Happy hour is from
4 to 7 Monday through
Friday.
Tom is no newcomer to
the restaurant business,
having operated the Fire-
place Restaurant near
Tunkhannock for 11
years. Annette, graduate
of College Misericordia
with a degree in business
administration, has
worked in restaurants
during summers and
while attending college.
The Picketts live in
Meshoppen. Both like to
ski but with their busy
schedule and because
they are awaiting the
arrival of their first child,
they haven’t had much
opportunity to hit the
slopes this year. Annette
admitted that most of
their time is spent at
Pickett’s Charge.
Both Annette and Tom
like to cook. Annette
assists at lunch and also
at dinner when things be-
come hectic. For our
readers, Annette and
Tom, have provided the
recipes for Veal Pizziola
and Trout Almondine.
For a pleasant meal in
an enjoyable atmosphere
visit Pickett’s Charge.
