Pastor Stephen Grant?

Stephen Grant is the pastor at St. Mary’s Lutheran Church on eastern Long Island. Grant is one of the more unique second-career clergy around, as he once worked for the CIA. Besides theology, his interests include archery, golf, writing, classic films, the beach, poker, baseball, and history. Grant also knows his wines, champagnes and brews. Oh yes, he generally dislikes politicians, and happens to be an expert marksman with a handgun and a rifle, while being pretty handy with a combat knife as well.

4 Cool and Quick Facts: Can You Eat Where Stephen Grant Has Grabbed a Meal?

Here are four places where Stephen Grant has dined, and perhaps you can as well...



1. LOBSTER ROLL. From Warrior Monk:
        A few minutes later, Stephen directed Paige to pull into a parking lot of stones.
        “Really, this is it?” said Paige. “What’s with the big lunch sign?” The roadside, brown-and-white wood building had bright red, white and blue awnings. A large blue sign with white letters sitting atop said, “LUNCH,” and under that “LOBSTER ROLL.”
        “Trust me on the food,” Stephen assured her.
        After waiting twenty minutes, they were seated at a wood table positioned in front of a screened window. The décor was all from the sea – nets, mounted fish, and a shark jaw.
        Paige told Stephen to order. He didn’t even look at the menu. It would be a crock of New England clam chowder, a lobster salad platter, and a Samuel Adams beer for each. Once the chowder arrived, crammed with potatoes and large pieces of clam, Paige took a spoonful and was won over.

2. Buckley’s Irish Pub.From Wine Into Water:

        Jennifer and Stephen sat at a shiny wooden table in Buckley’s Irish Pub, waiting for their friends to arrive. 
        The restaurant, situated on Montauk Highway in the middle of Center Moriches, had a long bar running down one side of the space, and tables and booths down the other. Assorted beers were on tap, and the venue offered traditional, hearty pub-style food. 
        For the Grants, it had become a favorite place for a relaxing dinner or lunch...

3. The Dubliner Restaurant and Pub. From Root of All Evil?:
        While Congress was in session, when not required to be in the Senate, Farrell often could be found dining, drinking and holding court at The Dubliner Restaurant and Pub, just a block from Union Station. His favorite meal was the Guinness Burger – sirloin marinated in Guinness, served on a potato pancake with Welsh cheese and onion straws. The New York Senator, however, was far more expansive in his beverage selections, being open to all of the draft beers offered – from Guinness Stout to the Dubliner Irish Lager.

4. Moriches Bay Diner. From Murderer’s Row:
        It was after seven on a Wednesday morning in mid- March. Snow had just begun to fall across Long Island. It was one of the worst winters the Northeast had seen in decades. The predicted eight-inch accumulation for the day would push the season’s snowfall to record levels.
        Nonetheless, Pastor Stephen Grant was having breakfast with three of his closest friends at the shiny Moriches Bay Diner on the south shore of Long Island, just short of the East End’s fork. The four men, each dressed in black but for a small white square below the neck, sat in a spacious booth next to one of the diner’s large windows. Given the storm, they practically had the place to themselves.
