THE LARK--ONE OF THE BEST!


     Does anyone remember the Lark restaurant in Tiffin, Iowa. That was before it burned and it was moved to the south side of Iowa City for a time, but, didn't make it there.

      In the 1970's and 19 enough 80's, I went there quite a few times after Iowa Hawkeye football games. It was quite "thee" place to go. One of the things I remember that was unusual about the food was the unusual dinner salad. It was huge and they would take a whole head of lettuce, carve it out and leave enough of it whole, so that you almost had a bank board effect.  You had to see it to believe it.

      When the games started at 11 am, you could get to the Lark at around 3pm or so and have to wait in the parking lot till it opened at 4pm.  It was quite the place in it's time. Won't forget a lot of fond memories eating there with friends.
