Our Wedding

LisaMarie and Matt's romance began at Johnson and Wales University by chance. LisaMarie, a New Jersey native had just returned to school to change careers and began a rigorous program in Baking and Pastry and Culinary Arts. At that same time, Matthew, a Minnesotan transfer student continued his studies in the esteemed Culinary Nutrition program at Johnson and Wales University. One magical day, LisaMarie's baking lab conjoined with Matthew's Advanced Dining Service lab. Thus, our story begins. Matt had reluctantly been assigned to LisaMarie's table where he was about to serve up more than just lemon meringue pie. From the first glance it was eminent to Matt that they would indeed become soul mates. Stopped in his tracks as they locked eyes, Matt mustard up the courage to introduce himself while stammering to make sense of the situation. A few menu related exchanges later, it was clear that the young mid-westerner was taken off guard by the young strawberry blonde beauty but he was not deterred. Conversation ensued and the crushing was electric. The hour came and went but chatter in the servers station provided the gossip for the day. Questions of "Are you going to leave her a note?!" followed with jeers of laughter and snarky comments. After being persuaded by a friend to leave it all on the table, literally, Matt left a nice note on LisaMarie's receipt that read:"LisaMarie, You have very beautiful eyes. -Matt"Since LisaMarie was still unsure about his intensions, she left a note as well. Her note thanked Matt for the compliment and instructed him to "check her out on Patriots.com/cheerleaders." At this time, LisaMarie was a Professional NFL Cheerleader for the New England Patriots and thought that this was an appropriate response for a corny pickup line… although very cocky. Little did she know that Matt was serious, was genuinely interested in her and that he was going to be the yin to her yang in the kitchen as well as in life........Flash forward a few months........Matt reluctantly returned to Minnesota for a few months while LisaMarie pined away just day dreaming about her dream man returning to be by her side. Thank God it was 2013 and that there was Skype and Face time. Hours were spent chatting away on the phone, texting and video calling. Moves were made.... (heyyyy... not like that ; ) ) and Matt booked a flight to head back to the East Coast and to move in together.. and the rest is history.

Destined for Love

Welcome to Johnny Boy's Pancake House- where the coffee is hot, the service is friendly, and we guarantee you'll never leave hungry. We are a family-owned and operated restaurant, located in Rutland, Vermont. Johnny Boy's serves up hearty breakfast and lunch dishes to locals, tourists and passers-by, seven days a week, all year round. We are passionate about food- both cooking it and eating it- which is why we think our food tastes so darn good. Every dish we prepare is made from fresh, quality ingredients- many of which are sourced from the local area. Johnny Boy's was established in 2003 when we opened our Killington location. We quickly became known for offering generous portions of tasty food at reasonable prices, which established our reputation as "the best breakfast on the mountain". We desired to bring this concept down the mountain, and opened our Rutland location in Summer 2010.
