To further establish my love of spoons, here is an excert from their menu :)
It was a dark and stormy night... well, more like a grey and appropriately rainy westcoast night in january 2008. The lease was signed on the new restaurant and we had just two weeks to renovate, acquire staff, and figure out just what we were going to do...
We opened February 1, 2008 as Floyd's 2 Diner (the original plan was to franchise floyds and slowely but surely take over the world).
However, the recession put a damper on our plans of world domination as only creatures of economics can do. Franchising at this time, we decided, was not so jolly.
In the summer of 2009 we changed the name to spoons!
Same staff, same management, same funky flare... no more franchise.
The summer of 2010 the owner/manager/cutlery polisher partnered up with john (big cheese of the kitchen) and together as co-owners are frolicking off into the proverbial sunset (in restaurants 'sunset' translates to an exciting yet terrifying mix of unique vision, constant headaches, complete lack of sleep, but the never-ending dream of what you want to create).
Spoons diner is a unique, funky soul that serves up homemade comfy food with a dash of whimsy.
Welcome to our Happy Place.
And the Thought of the Day for Feb 12, 2011
You Never Really Learn to Swear until you Learn to Drive.
