Geno's is gone (sorry to say) burned about a year ago, The contractor I work for had a few Christmas diners there, good food!

recycled Wisconsin joke, which was a recycled Minnesota joke. Still funny though. :thumbsup:

surmin1969,

Sorry to hear of the demise of Geno's Steakhouse!

To me, it was just a "kinda special" place!!

I was only there maybe 3 or 4 times, but each time was a TREAT!!
