OLD PORT HISTORY: THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY

When I was a youth, our church group went to Denver for a week, and I remember eating at a Spaghetti Factory. I don't know if this is part of a chain of restaurants, but this was the first time I had been in it. My daughter loves pasta and it was a short walk for my parents. I was surprised to see on the menu some history that I had never heard. In the back room of this building in the Old Port of Montreal, Charles Dickens was inspired to write a Tale of Two Cities (based on Paris and London) in 1842. 

This is the trio plate, since I couldn't decide between the tortellini, pesto spaghetti or cannelloni. It was the right choice, but a lot of food, considering the salad bar was quite delicious!
