Tony Fubio and Karen Kitt of Altoona are food lovers. The couple travel extensively and frequently throughout Pennsylvania trying out as many restaurants as possible. “We often joke we should be food critics,” Fubio, 48, of Altoona said. “We really go everywhere to eat.” It’s all because they enjoy the savory freshness of a home-style meal cooked with care, he said, and there’s one place in particular they are sure to frequent at least twice a week to get that — Jethro’s in Altoona. “Well, I really like a good strip steak dinner, and Jethro’s is definitely one of the better places to come out and get a good steak,” Fubio said. “And you get a good size portion for the price. A lot of people think Jethro’s is expensive because the food is homemade, but their prices are comparable to anyone else in this town, if not lower.” “And you get your steak exactly how you order it,” Kitt, 46, said. “A lot of chefs don’t like to do a steak well-done, but they will here.
