300 East will celebrate 33 years in business in February, and to mark the occasion, they’re serving dishes from the restaurant’s past. Originally opened as The White Horse in 1975, the restaurant moved to its current location at 300 East Boulevard in 1986. The restaurant closed and rebranded as 300 East in the early 1990s.

The menu items they’re reviving were popular among White Horse regulars. They’ll serve one throwback a week for five or six weeks, with new dishes hitting the menu on Thursdays. The first dish went on the menu this week: the Nitty Gritty Grinder, with roast beef, provolone, cherry peppers and veggies, served au jus. Each item will be served for one week only, during lunch and dinner. Other dishes that will likely make a comeback include The Unusual, Rude Robby’s Reuben, and the giant stuffed potatoes.

“It’s been a real eye-opener for me just in the last 24 hours to see all of these people come out of the woodwork who are so attached to this food,” says Ashley Boyd, co-owner of 300 East with her mom, Cathy Coulter. “It’s really neat.”

The Matilda Wong, which has been on the cocktail menu all those 33 years, will also be $8.50 leading up to the anniversary. Have a favorite you want to reminisce about? Let us know in the comments! —Kristen Wile
