Lils prepared fondue for us!!!  Ever since my cook left, we have not had fondue in a long time and so we were happy to be having fondue prepared by Lills

Stella Gemperle Aguila – I bumped into her in the vegetables section – looks like a healthy shopper 🙂

Bestsellers according to the waiter are Prime Rib Tapa and Huevos Rancheros but they were both out when we ate there

Pancakes are similar to Pancake House but the pancake expert, James, says that it is fluffier at Maple! 🙂

I wanted to try their chicken sandwich and compare it to the Pancake House chicken sandwich- apparently it is a different chicken sandwich and I liked it!  I like also the bacon on top and the fries that went with it

Another chicken dish for me!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me the dressing is as important as the chicken so I liked this 🙂

Mom’s order – Yum also!
