Chef Darrell's Mountain Diner

Becky and I along with Sean went to Chef Darrell's Mountain Diner for lunch on Friday down in Blue Mountain Lake. We had a very nice time and the food was wonderful. We sat inside the diner but there was also a very nice outdoor porch patio dining area on the side of the building. We will definitely need to go back there again and sit on the patio with the kids. Next year. 

We had heard about this new restaurant over the past couple of years. The restaurant opened in 2021. The diner itself was originally located in Maryland near Baltimore for several decades and eventually hauled to Blue Mountain Lake in 2017 where it was renovated. The owners found a profession chef, Darrell Spencer, a Black man which is unusual for the Adirondacks, to lease the restaurant.

We had been wanting to go out to dinner by ourselves as we usually do at some point during out Long Lake vacations. Becky and I often go down to the Long View Lodge but this year we just didn't have the opportunity. We had wanted to do something with Sean after Ashley and Andrew had left because of the little boy's not travelling well as a two year old. 

After we got back from lunch we went back to our cabins to pack up and get ready for the trip back home the next day. Ashley was coming back to pick up Sean. Luckily they only live a couple of hours away.
