THE 'LEGEND' OF MAX SMALLEY HOOK
SEPTEMBER 2008


Dear Friends,
 


While on vacation recently, (Chef) Mark took our son, Aidan, fishing.  On a warm, peaceful evening Aidan caught his first 'BIG' fish.  "What would you like to do with the fish?"  Mark asked.  "Eat him!"  Aidan replied.  (He appreciates delicious fresh fish).  Mark continued to fish while Aidan took watch over his catch.  After a few minutes Aidan said "Daddy, his name is Max (liked the name) Smalley (he's a Small Mouth Bass) Hook (caught him with one).  Max Smalley Hook.

Next thing you know Aidan created great stories of Max and his adventures below.  By the time they returned to the cottage Aidan announced his request to release him.  Max was no longer a fish - he was a friend. 

It was a magical night in which a friend was made and a 'Legend' born.  We're convinced that Max Smalley Hook is swimming with his buddies still bragging about how he 'got away'!

We hope your summer has been memorable.  And if you, too, missed out on a 'fresh catch' meal - stop in and we'll hook you up!  We appreciate and thank you for your support of our business and look forward to serving you soon. 

Eat Well!
— Jennifer & Mark McNamara, Marco Bistro
