Well, we're back! We've let the blog lapse a while, but we are back on the job!Our journeys now take us to The Greenbrier Resort, located in southeast West Virginia. This resort has a long history, dating back to the Civil War. Presidents and Celebrities have stayed here, and the resort hosts a yearly PGA tournament. I could spend this whole post on all the amenities' available at the Greenbrier but I am the hungry doctor, so we're talking food. There are a number of restaurants on the property, so I'll do a series of posts on each of them, since we'll be here a few days for a Medical Conference. First off, I should say, if you are staying at a world class resort (and paying the prices that go along with it) you have certain expectations. That applies to the food, of course. We'll start with Draper's. This is located near the Casino, and is a little more informal that some of the other establishments. We had friendly wait staff, and we were seated immediately. This was Thursday, and the place was not very busy. Décor was nice in the Greenbrier tradition. So let's start. The appetizer was crab artichoke and spinach dip. It was fairly mediocre, not horrible tasting, but again, we had expectations. So dinner... I had the crab cakes, filled with green pepper, which is unfortunate. The cole slaw was a little runny. The French fries weren't bad, but the fries I had a Five Guys earlier in the day at the Mall was better by far. Tammy had the Chicken Pot Pie, which was pasty and thick, probably due to the large amount of flour. We're taking world class resort here, folks. We both had the Lemon Meringue pie. Unfortunately, it was weird sticky, and cloyingly sweet. None of the light tartness I like in my Lemon Pies. They are supposed to have a pastry team here? Disappointing, but to be fair, the Coffee was great. Fully bodied, and no bitterness. It was not the greatest start of our culinary tour of the Greenbrier, but it is only our first evening. There are three other Dining establishments here, and we'll try another one tomorrow. Stay tuned for more!
