KXLY: Chef In The Forest Reopens

A popular North Idaho restaurant has reopened after the owners spent the past year rebuilding from a devastating fire."It was so exciting," said Debbie Mustered, owner of Chef in the Forest as she talked about the grand reopening.In December of 2009, an electrical short caused Chef in the Forest, on the edge of Hauser Lake to burn to the ground. "And the fire chief said 'I'm sorry, it's too hot we can't do anything except watch it burn,'" said Mustered. "Mom and I just hugged each other and stood there and cried. It was just like all of our dreams were going up in smoke," she said/KXLY. More here.
