The Treasured Cheese

I found a new restaurant on the island called The Treasured Cheese. You might not have noticed it on your drive along Main Street. Their signage is quite small... and taped to my kitchen wall.



As you can see, an ID is required for a "1st class luxury dinner." The menu for said dinner changes nightly. On Thursday it included an artichoke dip appetizer, egg noodles with tomato sauce, baked potato wedges, and caramelized bananas for dessert. On Saturday it was baked brie on bread, chicken cordon bleu, and butterscotch pudding.

The dining area is open to the kitchen, so customers are invited to not only watch the chef, but to interact with him and -- in some cases -- take heavy things out of the oven and offer cooking directions. But the chef is very serious about his work. If you start to take over the cooking, he'll shoo you back to the candlelit table.
