Cooking & Baking

to have found this place.

The RG has it. One time we were near Loveland, CO, traveling in a car. We were looking for a restaurant. As you well know, being in the culinary field, one doesn't just choose any ole' place.

As we drove, the RG kept saying things like, "I think it's close," or "might be just around this curve."

We found this restaurant and iirc, it had a sort of Tudor appearance. Dined there, had wonderful food (wish I could describe it as detailed as you did, but it's been a long time), and on the way out, I asked him, "When was the last time you were here?" He dines all over the country and the world with his business associates, so I figured this was one of his past finds. He looked at me blankly and said, "I've never been here before."

Later I questioned him about it more and he said, "I had a feeling there was a good place in the vicinity."

I think you culinary types are plugged into some type of network.

I liked the part about the thin batter and about how Americans overcook fish. The RG touches the fish to tell when it's ready. He taught me how to do it but I don't quite have "the touch."

Also, I was in awe of this:

A full 3-course meal five times a week plus menu planning - pretty much a solo endeavor.

What an accomplishment!
