Easter in Marquette

It's Easter Monday...it was sunny and beautiful out today, and about 35 degrees out, so still chilly. I went down to the lake after work, did the Lakeshore usual drive down to the park. It was like God put a nibble of something great outside the anthill.....all of the Yoopers were out in full swing today. They were jogging in winter clothes. They were walking very excited dogs. They were down at the water by the wall at the park, picking rocks, feeling the spray, the sweet kiss of the lake. They all came out to enjoy the sun.

Now, yesterday it was quite opposite. It was raining and dreary. We went to Big Boy for Easter dinner buffet and it was great, more on that later. After we ate, tony drove us down by the lake, to the beach. In the rain, we got out and walked the shore, ok we climbed down and got in the rocks and walked the shore. It was misting and beautiful. I ended up with rocks in my pockets again, no clue how they got there. Lol but it was a gorgeous day in the rain. Thanks honey.

So the Big Boy buffet...so we had a reservation. I love their food. We didn't feel like dressing up and spending a lot of money, we like nice family places. We got seated right away and our waitress got our drinks. The buffet was great, brunch is my fave. Breakfast and lunch all together. Well, all I had was breakfast. What was so amazing about the meal was not just the good food. The staff was spot on. About 30 minutes after we got there and were well into plate 2, it was getting busy. The cooks were coming out all of the time, filling up containers and making sure nothing ran out, wiping, cleaning, making sure that buffet looked great. The waitresses were all helping each other. Set up tables, clean tables, take away plates and seat new customers even if they were not theirs. And filling coffee religiously. The manager was walking around checking out everyone and everything. He circled the restaurant multiple times while we were there, nodding and saying hi to customers but not intruding on their meal, and making sure no one was without anything. I was in the restaurant industry for a long time. I don't think I have ever seen a wait staff work so well together, a cooking staff take that much pride in their work. Big big kudos to you guys on Easter. 5 stars out of 5.
