French Fries

Milt's is a 50's diner built in 1954 / there are eight stools and a take out window / there is a picnic table under the trees

Milt's is one of the oldest and longest running businesses in Moab

the "real Milt" sold out long ago to someone who retained all the Milti-ness with none of the charm

it is said Milt's is one place you can go in Moab where you wont hear The Grateful Dead

at last at long last there are new owners / a young couple / true Moabi / and we know both of their mothers / oh its a small town, is Moab

i heard the french fries were pretty good and the meat is being supplied by The Old Geezer / these are good signs

the french fries are yum / nice and long and fresh and both crispy and soft in just the right balance / and that night i woke thinking of Milt's french fries

oh they make onion rings too ! i do love onion rings

so had some of them and then discovered homemade ice cream sandwiches on homemade chocolate chip cookies made by one of the new owner's mother

smile

i had a restaurant when i was younger / i had Guest Mother Cooks each week and pictures of everybody's mothers framed on the walls

DBA ? Everybody's Mother

i fell in love with a customer / we ran away to live in the mountains / on a mesa overlooking the town of Moab / driving Miss DreamBoat i tootled into town for a chili cheeseburger at Milt's

good gravy i am doing it still

t-shirts with DreamBoat coming soon
