Just caught a clip, the Blue Giraffe is finally open again.


false alarm.....

Great little place, I hope they eventually get back up and running.

Is this some sort of code or euphemism? "The fox is in the hen house" "The eagle has landed" "The blue giraffe is open"

10-32 you will be given instructions where to meet. Bring you basic 'kit' food and ammo will be provided. Our COs aviator and Pogo and Command Sargent dinky will fill you in. Upon your arrival please use password 'Blue Giraffe' so as not to be shot. All plans are set you will be given instructions on a 'need to know' basis. That is all 4th out.

Out on the west coast of Florida, far away in this small island where The Bunker's emergency operations office resides, is this little restaurant called The Blue Giraffe, that got destroyed in an attack by a 2002 hurricane and MrK liked their food. They are rebuilding.

OK, I go back, my son was out there last weekend, getting something done in the house, he stopped at the restaurant, it's open and the food was terrible he said.

New cooks who aren’t used to the old recipes yet?

I don't mind paying top dollar in a restaurant as I understand cost is through the damn roof for them now with inflation. Go to a fish specialty restaurant over here in Deland and it was super good. So I then take the girl who cleans my house over for dinner and I would not bring the food home for her dogs.
Waited a year and finally get to a clam and oyster place over in Ocala. In deep frying eventually the grease hydro-nates when it gets used a lot. Burns on the outside raw and greasy on the inside. Yup another waste of money. These days price on the menu is not going to guarantee you a decent meal.
I miss the diners in the cities always consistent and good especially if Greeks own it. No more eating out I will cook at home.

As long as the food is good and up to my standards I'm OK with paying, There is a hole on the wall type restaurant not far from us, all fresh seafood, the owner is a Peruvian lady, she's been there for ages, the place offers live music, mostly jazz and the best food and service you can find, not cheap but once in a while we like to go there, people wait outside in line just to get in almost every day. If you are ever down here: The Fish House on Miller Rd.

Oh-oh.......I'm waiting for that story.

We live about an hour apart. We meet in between for lunch and cocktails and sometimes a cigar. He enjoys a particular establishment that does everything well. Especially fish and Manhattans. Living in the Chicago metro area has many downsides but good food ain't one of them.
