From page 14

Besides, ftike any neighborly
Prairie eatery, The Restaurant is a
place to drop by spontaneously.

Owner Angus McKay stands
proudly at the door of his restau-
rant greeting his guests with
bushel-loads of unaffected en-
thusiasm. ‘

The idea of plain Canadian food
from the heartland seems to have
hit a responsive North Shore
chord. A _ steady stream of
residents and tourists wander
through The Restaurant’s doors
and gaze in wonder at and revel
for a moment in basic Canadiana.

Food served is stoicly unadorned
meat and mash. The kind of hearty
grub used to ‘“‘wrastle’ hungers
developed on the back 40.

The Restaurant dinner menu will

confound the contemporary diner -

with its stark simplicity. There are
three main entrees: Fowl Supper,
Roast Beef Dinner, and Perogies
with Cabbage Rolls and Kobassa
Sausage, all are $9.95 and come
complete with choice of Restaurant
home-made pie.

After checking our John Deere
Harvester baseball hats and down
vests, my wife and I strode into a
Fowl Supper.

The meal, an easy target for the
closet punster, is fashioned after

what McKay says.are his fond”

memories of similar suppers served
in the basements of Prairie chur-
ches and neighborhood hails the
length and exhaustive breadth of
the flatlands. ; a

With family-sized scoops of
masiied potatoes, a serving of
spicy turkey stuffing, assorted

boiled vegetables, cranberry sauce, .

gravy and slabs of white and dark

turkey, the Fowl is: straight from ~

Hoss Cartwright’s. Ponderosa
cookbook. ‘

.There are no cute.spices’ from
Europe, no hot. peppers from

down ‘south and no fancy-pants -

culinary designs in The Restau-
rant’s food. The Fowl Supper
means business, mister, so tuck in
and don’t icave those carrots.

. At all costs, some shred of ap-
petite must be saved for a slice of
The’ Restaurant’s home-made pie
selection.

On a previous McKay recom-
mendation, I tried a Saska-
toonberry, while my wife, panting
and spattered with mashed potato,
tested the Rhubarb and Raspberry.

Both came in massive wedges
topped with ice cream. Crusts were
flaky and filling fresh.

-. We left: thoroughly stuffed and
felt suddenly capable of threshing
several bushels of wheat.

The Restaurant is open for |

breakfast from 7 to 11 a.m. for
those with early morning Prairie
appetites and open every day for
lunch and supper.

Good for families and those
with a hankering for no-nonsense
Canadian cuisine.
