I was just curious as to the nature of elk. But I will look again at the menu. It is a fancy place and yet very family like and small so I might be able to get something specific made for me. Has anyone ever done that? Have you talked about your diet restrictions when you make a reservation? Ok I went back to the website and found a scallop dish that looks okay or I can substitute tofu and all I have to do is request no cilantro.




Sure, I ask for something specific made for me all the time! Of course I had to overcome my Midwestern upbringing to get that assertive!! But I'm a New Yawker now so fuhgeddaboudit!! Heather actually recommends telling waiters you need something "low fat, no red meat, no dairy." So repeat after me, "low fat, no red meat, no dairy, please!!"

Scallops sound terrific and I had cilantro too. Did you know that a study has actually shown that liking or disliking cilantro is actually something genetic! People with the gene like it and people without the gene HATE it!!

Good luck with the restaurant!! And have fun!!
