Random discovery of a restaurant in Coral Springs, Florida. I searched online for a place to meet up with family halfway between our two locations.
The Cook and the Cork Yelped at me. It checked all the boxes. Outdoor table (COVID necessity). Locally sourced food. Creative menu. Founder/Chef/Owner graduated from the CIA (that is, Culinary Institute of America). Check Check Check Check Plus.
The food was delicious and everything about it was charming. (Of course, everything seems better in balmy weather). At the end of dinner, chef stopped by to chat. He apologized.
"For what?, we asked."
The kitchen staff was forced to improvise with camping stoves and propane cylinders, cooking part of the dinner in the parking lot. There had been a utility gas line rupture nearby, so their gas feed had been cut off.
What a coolheaded guy! As unrattled as he acted, he might as well have been in the other CIA.
