Spoon #3: Les Halles


Before leaving town for Christmas, Ms. Dish and I decided to stop by Les Halles for dinner:


Les Halles is a darn good French restaurant, particularly given that it's way down in the Financial District on John Street.  It always seems to be packed with all sorts of people;  financial types, tourists, locals, and so on.  I can personally vouch for their specialty, the classic "Steak Frites".

We encountered Spoon #3 accompanying a cup of coffee:


Spoon #3 features the markings "Winco", "Stainless 18-10", and "8" in circle near bowl

Spoon #3 looks quite a bit like Spoon #2, but appears to be part of Winco's "Continental" family.  I suppose a "continental" spoon is more appropriate for a French restaurant like Les Halles.  Here's a picture of it with it's brothers and sisters:


Winco seems like a pretty no-nonsense restaurant supply company.  According to the website, their philosophy is "we win when our customers win".  Also of note, their distribution center is in Lodi, NJ - home of famous rock and roll band The Misfits!

I don't have any idea about this "8 in a circle" on the back - perhaps a hallmark or model number?
