I believe the Woodshed was opened by the Tower family for the summer of 1972... I was a dishwasher at Longwood Farms in Center Harbor (where Canoe is now), with Rick Tower managing it... and his parents were running the new Woodshed... When I showed up at Longwood the Saturday night of Labor Day weekend, Rick said that both dishwashers at the Woodshed had not showed up because of some incident (my distant memory was car accident coupled with DUI)... and asked me to fill in over there...
By the time I got over there at 5pm, the dishes were already backed up, and I didn't pause until after midnight... one of the more miserable nights of the summer (earning a whopping $1.65/hour)!
Since then, we have had several really enjoyable meals there over the past years and I wish the new owner success and look forward to eating there again soon
A quiet day on the lake today... PIG
