Spoon #48: Dick's

We continue our belated series "How I Swapped My Summer Vacation" as, returning from our rural retreat in Western Maine, Ms. Dish, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, Ursa Minor and I stopped in at Dick's Restaurant in Mexico, Maine:

Dick's seems to be hit with the local crowd and served up some great grub for the weary traveler! 

It was at Dick's that we encountered Spoon #48:

Spoon Forty-Eight is marked "UPDATE 15 CHROME STAINLESS CHINA", and looks like a dead ringer for Spoon Thirty-Two, though the markings are slightly different.  Spoon 32 had a "21" marking to contrast Spoon 48's "15".  Otherwise it would appear to be identical, part of Update's Claridge series. 

Spoon #32: Cafe Orlin

Just down the street from Cafe Mogador, which we visited in Spoon Swap #2, is Cafe Orlin.

Both restaurants serve up fantastic Moroccan/Mediterranean cuisine, and it's always a tough call when Ms. Dish and I try to decide between the two.

Between slinging our usual hummus and baba ganoush we swapped out old spoon 31 for our brand new spoon number 32:

Number 32 is marked "21 UPDATE STAINLESS CHINA".  Well it's about time we had a new spoon company to look into!  Let's see what this "21 Update" is all about...

Update appears to refer to Update International, which has been "offering quality products to the world of Beverage and Foodservice for more than 30 years".  And all that hard work has certainly paid off, as Update International is now America's leading importer of Airpots and Servers!  What's an "Airpot" you ask?  It's one of these things: 

You know... for coffee!

Searching Update's extensive catalog, it looks like Spoon 32 is from their "Claridge" line:
