Here are some shots from Chalet Suzanne, founded in 1938, and still a Florida icon. Check out their website: http://chaletsuzanne.com/newSite/homesweethome.htm

The top picture, here is of the Tiny Swedish Bar, and the other picture I took is of one of the many cozy dining rooms. This place is expensive, but the food looked fabulous.

Shortly before going to war Carl spent much of his time entertaining the guests at Chalet Suzanne. c.1942

Prepared like no place else, this is a salad for the ages.

Basted in it's own juices for many hours, this incredibly tender and moist chicken has been served here since the beginning.

This lily pond is the only remaining from the 1920's. Now a home to a fountain and a central focus of the Chalet Suzanne Village, it is a constant reminder of our heritage.

We went to Chalet Suzanne in Lake Wales, too. It was a unique place. Old Florida in the midst of housing developments all around it. Quite an oasis, much like the Bok Tower only pricier. We had coffee and dessert which cost over $40.00 for the 3 of us.
