This is pretty doggone good news – if you’re a dog owner. Menus designed specifically for pooches are now available on the pet-friendly patios of a host of local restaurants. The Bridgewater is offering grilled chicken, grilled veggies, and scrambled eggs on its patio. Its sister Benson’s Restaurant Group restaurants – Edison’s, Onesto, Smoke Shack, Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria, and AJ Bombers – likewise have food created for Fido. While you dine, here’s what your furry friend could be eating:
