Kurt Boucher says: "It was definitely an honor going on the show (Iron Chef America), but this is my dream come true - my own restaurant in a small town where people are friendly and I can work with the community. This is exactly what I was looking for." 

Community... that's what this place is about.  Welcome to Salida, Kurt.

PS Sorry about our lack of "news."  A new post is coming soon!
