The menu will be changing in the next few weeks, with a few secret and tasty additions. The same goes for the wine list.

“We would be placing an increased burden on the taxpay- ¢rt—we're not prepared to do that.”

The development board’s request has not yet been acknowledged by the RDCK, which will hold its next meeting May 9.

Last year, the development board received $77,000 from the RDCK and this year, it is hoping to receive approximately $80,000—not including the newly requested additional $5,000 to cover the provincial government's funding void. Out of the total $80,000, taxpayers in Areas I and J under the RDCK

desigi Darlene Daisy D'Lerma of Grand Forks told me. Ken and Gail Geddes, the owners of Tay- lor’s Place, ran the restaurant at the Scotsman Hotel before they opened up Taylor’s.

“I followed them to Taylor’s Place,” said D’Lerma.

Now wait a minute. The own- ers are Gail and Ken Geddes. Who is the place named after? If you become a regular, you’re sure to find out that Taylor is their 22- month old son.

Anyone who frequented the Scotsman knows Taylor. He spent his first six months meeting and greeting the customers, just like at the Grand Opening, where he cut the ribbon to officially wel- come the public to “his” restau- rant. People come in just to see Taylor. And he’s always excited to greet the regulars. Just ask Old Mike.

Taking over an already estab- lished restaurant is a tough enough proposition. The Geddes built theirs from the ground up.

“Without the staff we have, we wouldn't be as successful as we've been. They are excellent and experienced, and helped us get organized. Everything went smoothly as soon as we opened.”

And what sort of fare are they offering at Taylor's Place? The menu at the restaurant is widely varied. Everything is home made, and includes items like old-fash- ioned pot-pies, soups and salads, Mountain Boy Ribs and Chicken, and Schnitzel, as well as tradi- tional Doukhobor cuisine

“We're expanding the wine list in the future to have a wider selection of wines.” The restau- rant is licensed for beer, wine and liqueurs right now.

“We're aiming for a restaurant that has a lot of variety. Every time you come in, you can try something different.”

And the prices make variety easy on the pocket book.

“We kept our prices reasonable because of all the seniors and families.” Those two groups are the main reason for the choice of full and half portions.
