Lunch Bern Ks. June 13, 2012
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2012 7:19 pm
Ok guys this should be a special ride for us. Kind of spooky not knowing what the weather will be but the owner said that if we brought rain with us they would probably pay us. I guess northern Kansas has been a bit dry.
If you read other parts of our website then you probably have read that some eating establishments have been contacting us in hopes of us coming to their place of business. Some are places we have been and just far enough that we don't seem to go back and some like this one heard of us and are excited about us coming. In fact I don't think I have ever talked to anyone that sounded any more excited about anything since we told Becky's dad we were getting married about 40 years ago. And that was a little different kind of excitement if you know what I mean. These folks connected us through the website and when I returned their email, will it's been a ride. I got calls from the cook and her cell number to make sure we can get anything we want. I don't know what all is happening but it sounds like they are really excited and want to make it memorable.
I know this is going to be more of a ride than normal, but this was normal before we split into many groups. There is good riding in this area. Good German food. People that are over the top friendly. Hoser even made a recon run for us and said the food was great and he was treated like a king. So it should be worth a few extra miles. I don't want you to press your limits but I think this and the next weeks picnic are rides you should make if you can. I think he said there was a park across the street so we have a good place to visit. So fill you tank, throw a water bottle in the bag and lets once again meet, greet and of course eat

[attachment=18]Bern Bern Cafe 003.JPG[/attachment]Don "Klem" was more than a little nervous as to whether we would have a big enough turnout to warrant all the attention we were getting from the Bern citizens.[attachment=17]Bern Bern Cafe 005.JPG[/attachment][attachment=15]Bern Bern Cafe 008.JPG[/attachment]Don worried so much he even talked Becky into coming. She is one of our Lady Riders. 
[attachment=16]Bern Bern Cafe 004.JPG[/attachment]Thanks to everyone for making the trip. Don has to be please as well as the town of Bern.[attachment=14]Bern Bern Cafe 009.JPG[/attachment]I love it...the guys saw these pies and asked that their pie be served first 
Little did we know these people were ready for us and this table was never empty. I had the strawberry and oh my goodness!! [attachment=13]Bern Bern Cafe 014.JPG[/attachment]This was one of the busiest and cleanest kitchens I have ever seen. [attachment=12]Bern Bern Cafe 011.JPG[/attachment]John came all the way from Ottawa 
[attachment=11]Bern Bern Cafe 006.JPG[/attachment]But this John holds my unofficial recognition for the most miles traveled to this lunch, 196 miles. He left Chanute, KS at 5:30 am this morning. I guess I had better go to Stark on Friday, huh 
[attachment=10]Bern Bern Cafe 013.JPG[/attachment]Mama's back in town and we all missed her. [attachment=9]Bern Bern Cafe 015.JPG[/attachment]I hope you had an opportunity to meet this guy. He is MR BERN!! He did it all and was everywhere. [attachment=8]Bern Bern Cafe 010.JPG[/attachment]Notice the Strawberry Pie, and this was BEFORE lunch or breakfast in some cases 
[attachment=6]Bern Bern Cafe 016.JPG[/attachment]The roast beef was so tender that they didn't even put knives on the tables and the prices were fair.[attachment=5]Bern Bern Cafe 017.JPG[/attachment]Somebody got a new trike, Sure is pretty.[attachment=4]Bern Bern Cafe 007.JPG[/attachment][attachment=1]Bern Bern Cafe 020.JPG[/attachment]The end to a perfect lunch.
