Annoying Restaurant Trends

2005-09-27T10:19:00.000-07:00

Check out this article about restaurant trends that are annoying. At Duke's, you never have had to suffer any of them. That's why I created Duke's in the first place - so none of us would have to be annoyed by the pretension that you find so often in other eateries. No b.s. - just tasty food.

Food For Thought

I know I'm not supposed to get political but the Katrina disaster and how the feds have handled it, makes me think of our rivers here in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the Snake and Columbia. The Bush Administration doesn't seem to understand nor care that our precious resource (Wild Salmon) is becoming extinct. That is why I talk so much about Alaska Wild Salmon. The environment and habitat are pristine and the State of Alaska does a terrific job of managing their fishery. As a result, the Salmon continue to make themselves available to us year after year. The proof of the pudding is the number of Salmon coming up the Columbia these days - it's now in the hundreds of fish per year. It used to be in the hundreds of thousands, some years I hear were in the millions of fish. Doesn't that tell you that something is wrong with our governments meddling in salmon affairs? Chew on that!
