Despite a stagnant economy and widespread personal and family frugality, The Grand Cafe, the latest local establishment offering upscale, casual dining has blossomed, according to owner Ben Huhman.
Formerly the chef at Meadow Lake Acres Country Club and a graduate of a culinary school in San Francisco, Huhman is serving meals he has prepared for several years, including more epicurean dishes such as duck and lamb.
The Grand Cafe also offers an assorted list of wines, which has been exceedingly popular, said Huhman.
