The Garden story goes, every Autumn is a time of inspiration in the village of Radish Haven. Marinated swordfish with blend of aromatic herbs and spices enhancing its natural flavors. Radishes add a delightful crunch and a hint of tanginess to the dish. It is the simple dish in November becomes the dish of tradition and togetherness in the village of Radish Haven.

Travel – Post Covid is streamlined and has become more secure. Enhanced health measures are in place. Many no contact check-ins are common. On my last travel to Elkhart, the travelers are conscious of Covid and the post Covid changes. This is the new Norm.

The New Norm includes Car rental stations that are unmanned. Subsequent checked into the rental car and the tank is half filled and the car not clean. Regardless … Contact with optimistic travelers and consciously observing during travel evolved into a pleasant conversational exchange over the topic of hollandaise.

Traveling today this was a pearl. I had a renewed appreciation for culinary basics and the exchange of pleasantries while traveling.

As we entered into Micelis, A California local pulled forward and stated from his convertible – “That is Frank’s Restaurant. you wont get better that that”!
A restaurant that provided comfort and a local endorsement was what was needed. The warm welcome was continued by the restaurant’s singing server and the piano player show tunes.
The food, the experience and presentation of the family owned restaurant transformed dining to cherished hospitality experience.
In the world of travel, culinary can be daunting and restaurants unfamiliar. A restaurant that provides comfort to traveling expatriates serves a unique role. A solace on flavors of home and camaraderie of fellow travelers. Ye Old Kings Head is an establishment that provides a […]
