8/10/11 Late Lunch

We finished our Segue tour at 3:00, then checked on our train which was now scheduled to depart at 5:00. The nice lady at the ticket counter told us to be back at 4:30. Perfect! We stopped back at Hotel Denver to ask Roxie the desk clerk for her recommendation for lunch. She said: The Grind restaurant. You have to learn about it from a local as it's a smidge off the beaten path and has no signage on the outside. 

It's a skinny little structure, a row of tables to seat 12 on each side as you walk in the door with a bench against the wall and chairs on the inside, the counter for taking orders and serving drinks in the middle, and the kitchen in the back. A cow theme for decorations. A simple menu with about 8 choices and a pad of checklists with all the ingredients available and you can design your own burger. That's it. Simple and delicious.

I made my own burger: lamb, fetta cheese, peach/apple compote, and grilled pineapple. Oh yummy!

Aaaah! There was even time to stop at The Chocolate Moose Ice Cream Parlor which was closed the first time we were in the mood for ice cream.

Can you say hot fudge sundae?
