Cafe has new owner
PUTNAM — The cafe at the corner of Providence and Marshall streets reopened recently with a new owner and a new name.
Quiet Corner Cafe, owned by Adam Dowd, purchased the former Penny’s.
Dowd was most recently the executive chef of the Colonial Club Restaurant in Webster. That restaurant closed recently after 65 years.
Dowd began cooking in his youth making jelly rolls for his teachers and functions at St. Mary School. He started working at 15 as a dishwasher at the former Vernon Stiles Inn, then worked at State Line Restaurant and the Pub 99. He is a graduate of Tourtellotte Memorial HIgh School and lives in Thompson.
He features homemade potato chips, handcut French fries, homemade clam chowder and cole slaw and fish, desserts and the soup of the day and more.
