Last week’s frigid weather took its toll on the River Edge restaurant in Alberton, but that didn’t stop the restaurant from cooking up some tasty food.
When the restaurant’s large propane tank froze Saturday night, cook Casey Callison headed outdoors and set up a grill out back.
“We get a bit colder by the river, I guess,” said Callison, “and it managed to freeze up our propane tank. They had to come out to change the regulator, then thaw what was in the tank.”
Callison continued to grill up steaks and burgers for the restaurant’s patrons, with a little added winter flavor.
