Many years ago, when I had a job, I traveled to Rochester, New York (known for the annual Lilac Festival, but better known as the former home of our beloved Honeybugg) for a week-long class on how to use a certain collaborative software on behalf of the company I worked for.

It was a small group, so instead of renting a conference room in a hotel, the guy putting it on chose a local restaurant. We were in a side room, and then lunched there off the menu. The owner lived upstairs and some mornings we'd have to get him out of bed to let us in, and make our own coffee.

Our group was small, conducted by a big, tall guy with really long hair from Maine. I was the only class member who didn't work at the University of Rochester.

But the food was really good, especially the corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. A few years later, Mr. Travel and I went to that area for the national bowling tournament, and we had dinner at that restaurant. It wasn't as good as I'd remembered, but okay.

I'll never forget what one of the other diners said:

"...it's prime beef. Out in Colorado, you can just go to any Safeway and get excellent meat, but here you can only get it in restaurants." So untrue. Being from Colorado myself, I know different. Colorado meat shoppers roll the dice like anyone else - you have to shop carefully to find tender, tasty meat. And when it comes to really good restaurant steaks, there is more fat marbling than most home cooks would consider suitable, so a restaurant is the place to go if that's important.

The past couple of years I was trying to remember the name of the place so I could tell Bugg, and yesterday I found a book of matches in an old purse. So now we know.
