Gateway To The San Juan Mtns

Hi there! I'm a fellow Alva resident transplanted in Farmington, NM. The story about Clark Gable jogged my memory about a story I read earlier this year. From the February 1 - 15, 2007 of The Talon newspaper, printed in Aztec, NM: A woman by the name of Marie Frech cooked for a living for years at the Bond & Bond cafe in Shiprock, NM. Marie's idol at the time was Clark Gable. One day she came out to the lunch counter and there he was! Clark was filming nearby and came in for a bite to eat. Marie almost had a heart attack! The love of cooking must run in the family because Marie's granddaughter opened her own place called Cafe Bonito on February 1 in Aztec, NM. If you are ever in the Four Corners Area, stop in - the food is outstanding! By the way - Julie's favorite male star is Matthew McConaughey - hmmmm - one could only hope!
