The Viking Restaurant

Sometime in December, Russell and I drove to St. Augustine to see a play put on by the Chameleon Theatre. They performed on the second floor of The Viking Restaurant. They helped each other out. If you bought a ticket to the play, you got a discount on dinner. Well, that's what Russell and I did. We very much enjoyed the play and then headed downstairs to eat.

It was interesting to say the least. We ordered a special kind of meal. They brought us a Wood Platter heated to above 600 degrees. We cooked our own meat right there at the table. Shrimp, alligator, and ostrich to be precise. (Quickly, because I know your wondering: ostrich is red meat that tastes like chewy beef, I liked it; gator is like chewy pork, not much taste)

It was fun. I don't think we'll go again. Once was enough. But, if you're adventurous, and you like potato boats, go for it!

It's an adventure There is ostrich, alligator, and buffalo on the menu You can cook your food at your table if you wish	We weren't overwhelmed with the food How do they know someone won't undercook their meat, get sick, and sue them? Our waiter had a hole in his jeans
