We're going to the Turquoise Room

Sounds like pretty good dining for such a small town.

On our way out the door now. Pics and review to follow

All lamb is "free range". Not that the USDA defines "free range" for
red meat animals anyway, but lambs are the most free range of all the
farmed animals since they can't be raised in crowded pens like cows
and pigs. They truly do get the run of the range - usually as ,much
or moreso than any other meat or poultry animals.

Seeing "free range lamb" as a promotional term just means they're
bull****ting you. Not unlike "Hormone-free chicken".

I'm such a buzzkill, I know. Hopefully you won't read this until
tomorrow and I'm sure you had a good time anyway :-)

Appears to be a thin slice of pâté, with an edge of aspic. Jes a

The dinner at The Turquoise Room was phenomenal. Much more than I
expected or anticipated.
Who'da thunk you can get elk, wild boar and venison tamales here.

Here's the rundown on the meal.

In a few minutes we'll be on our way out the door and off to Santa Fe.
I'm getting antsy to get there.

Looks like a great time!

Allow me to ask a question/pick a nit on the main course description:

How does one come up with the concept of "corn flan"? Flan, by definition,
is a custard. Does not compute. ;-) How do you think it was made?

Not sure how you can deal with Denny's after that. Can't you at least find a
Cracker Barrel? ;-)

Standing on a corner in Winslow Azirona it's such a fine sight to see.
It's a girl my Lord in a flat bed Ford slowing down to take a look at me.
Come on my M'am, I want free range lamb.

ROFL! Oh well, breakfast is pretty much breakfast. But I have to say my
experience with the *service* at Denny's sucks. Cracker Barrel is fun and
the food is very good. But I don't think they have one in Santa Fe. <shrug>

No kidding? I've had great service there, can't complain

Never been to one. To me, it's a brand of potted cheese.

Ooops, I was thinking of a different brand.

In any case, I've only seen Cracker Barrel as a resaurant mentioned
here on RFC.

I didn't realize that Denny's was also a brand of cheese.
