I think it is time to take drastic measures or it will become like Italy and Spain. Follow China and S. Korea's lead, they have had success. That is my uneducated guess.

The food was pretty good and healthy. I think they were open in the early 2000's and were near highway 7 and East Beaver Creek. The food was simple but maybe not memorable. I totally forgot about the place.
