Best of FPF: A Delicious Meal and Molly Malone

Posted on Friday, December 5, 2025 by No comments yet

Dan shared this appreciation in the Winooski Forum. We thought it was well worth a share:

“Just wanted to share a quick thanks to Papa Frank’s! They are an amazing family-run business on a side street in Winooski. When I first moved up here years ago, I was greeted by an amazing woman with a beautiful smile. Sadly, she has passed, but her family continues to run the business well. Food is amazing and delicious.

Today on Thanksgiving was no exception. Much of the family was there, and as usual, super friendly and helpful. They generously offered a free Thanksgiving dinner. Food was delicious to no surprise. Generosity like this has become so rare. Almost can’t be thankful enough.

As a former service member, I can remember spending many holidays alone. As an only child, I can handle it better than most. Many can’t. I have an amazing service dog named Molly Malone. I can’t be thankful enough for her. She is the only reason I get out of bed most days.

I can only hope everyone takes a moment today to reflect on their families and thank them no matter what differences they may have. Be thankful today for family, friends, service men and women who have served, are currently serving and have given their lives for us in service to our country…”
