“Bold Face — Homemade meatballs coming back to Angello's” |
| Bold Face — Homemade meatballs coming back to Angello's Posted: 04 Mar 2011 10:09 AM PST For 14 years, Madeia Mendenhall was the chief cook for Angello's Restaurant at 4905 Tuscarawas St. W in Perry Township. But when the third owner decided to sell, she decided she, and no one else, would be the fourth. Madeia and her husband, Daniel, bought the place known for its Italian specialties. "We went back to making homemade meatballs and our own pasta," she said, "as well as our own bread and pizza dough, sauces, soups and desserts." Her peanut butter pie and ice cream cake, she said, are favorites with customers. That means Madeia, who once managed Massillon's Belleria, arrives at the restaurant at daybreak. And Daniel, who was an engineer at Wayne Dalton Door in Dalton, now runs the front of the restaurant. The pair live in Massillon. Madeia said all the staff remained with her. Some remodeling is planned. She already has scheduled a wine tasting for March 31. It will require reservations. Angello's hours are Tuesday through Friday lunch, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday, dinner, 5 to 9 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 4 to 10 p.m. She will take reservations for parties between 25 and 50 on Sunday and Monday, the days the restaurant is closed. TWO FAT GUYS OPENS TUESDAY For six years, you only saw Two Fat Guys' yellow banners at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival Ribs Burnoff. Between May and mid-September, the ribs mobile unit traveled to 18 events from Indiana to Charleston to Michigan. Two Fat Guys have been consistent winners in the local burnoff and elsewhere. On Tuesday, they'll open the doors to a permanent spot in Perry Township at 4859 Tuscarawas St. W. The owners? It's a family business. There is Dale Foraker of Perry Township; his son-in-law Andy Bolgiano of Massillon; Adam Bolgiano of Louisville, Andy's brother; Foraker's daughter, Kim Long of Bellefontaine and Jen Bolgiano, Andy's wife and Foraker's daughter. Slow-smoked foods and eight different sides are their specialties. Think ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked turkey and smoked sausage. They'll be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday. PINWALL RAMPS IT UP Re-purposing is a green community buzz word that has gone mainstream in business. The principals at Pinwall Cycle Parts have signed a long-term lease-purchase agreement for the nearly 80,000-square-foot building formerly occupied by the Canton Elevator Corp. at 635 Third St. NW in Massillon. Not only will the planned Aug. 1 move from its current 4152 Erie Ave. SW, Perry Township, location give the business much-needed extra space, it also will create 30 jobs during the next few years. That is in addition to Pinwall's current 40 full-time employees. Pinwall is a large distributor of new and used motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle and snowmobile parts and accessories in the country. The new site will be used for offices, warehousing, distribution and retail sales. Callers to Pinwall will get a kick of out Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild," the song played while they wait. "Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway, looking for adventure, in whatever comes our way." Rodney Wallace, 42, of Dover and Bryan Pinnix, 47, of Bolivar are Pinwall's partners. The business was founded six years ago. Interestingly, the company arose out of Pinnix and Wallace, whose career was in advertising, being Bolivar neighbors. Pinnix, a Louisiana native then serving Bolivar as its police chief, was trolling eBay for parts to repair his motorcycle. Wallace had the camera. The upshot was that both men decided selling parts would be a good endeavor. It was. "Now it's a multi-million-dollar business," Pinnix said.

PIZZA PLUS PERFECT Alan and Lisa Frank are dead serious about their pizza. The young owners of Ermanno's Legendary Pizza at 3159 Whitewood St. NW in Plain Township, across from Fishers Foods, recently returned from the North American Pizza Challenge at the Columbus Convention Center with awards in hand. Some 74 other pizza makers competed in traditional and gourmet categories. The Franks, who live in Nimishillen Township, entered a traditional pizza with onions, meatballs, salami, bacon, roasted peppers and cheddar cheese and garnered a fourth-place win. In the gourmet category, they went with a chicken Alfredo theme accented with portabello mushrooms. That effort earned eighth place. "We were two points away from the final round, really close," said Alan, 30, who worked as a residential electrician until taking over the shop two and a half years ago. Intent on constant improvement, the Franks requested and received judges' comments from the Columbus competition and they plan to use the information to tweak their entries in the upcoming American Pizza Classic in Milwaukee at month's end. The Classic winner gets an all-expenses-paid trip to Rome to compete in the World Pizza Challenge. Determined to do more than tweak an already good pizza, Lisa, 29, spent a week last year taking a pizza course at the American Institute of Baking in Kansas. When she returned, she brought with her a way of providing a firmer bottom for crusts. Lisa is no pizza neophyte. Her father, Mike Lynch, has owned the Ermanno's Pizza in Louisville for years and she worked there since 1995. OMNIUM-GATHERUMS Business hours for the new BuyMungo store in Jackson Township were left out of last week's column. They are weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sundays, noon to 4 p.m. The TV, computer and peripherals deep discount outlet at 4721 Eagle St. NW in Jackson Township guarantees the lowest prices. Callers have asked for directions to Eagle Street. It's north of Portage Street NW and The Strip shopping plaza, just west of Sunset Strip NW. ... Now you see it, now you don't. The Marathon service station at 38th Street and Cleveland Avenue NW has been razed. No word yet on what will replace it.
