Marina Grog and Galley

"A computer can't understand a handshake," says Jack Schwindler, explaining why he retired after 32 years as a food broker. He missed the face-to-face aspect of the business, which diminished as technology swiftly advanced. So when he and his wife found a defunct marina on Lake Lotawana, where Jack spent his childhood, he found his calling. In 1993, Jack and his wife opened Marina Grog & Galley, and now, Jack says, "I'm shaking hands again."

Marina Grog and Galley is run by a tight-knit crew of longtime employees, including servers who have worked there since 1996. Their menu boasts dry-aged steaks from a local purveyor and fresh fish flown in from Hawaii three times a week. The smell of steaks searing over mesquite charcoal drifts out to the front driveway, creating an aroma that attracts passersby and envious traveling steak peddlers. Other specialties include baby-back ribs crafted from a recipe Jack penned when he was 21 years old, and a range of fried, boiled, and stuffed shrimp.

Every night, Jack visits with guests at the tables arranged around the dining room, which look out at the lake or a 1,500-gallon saltwater tank that houses a 48-foot living reef. Leather seats in cobalt blue comfort backs, and stone fireplaces warm the stone walls and light wood around the restaurant. Outdoor tables along the water seat up to 150 people, and on-deck fireplaces keep diners comfortable. "Something happens every night in the restaurant business," says Jack, and he doesn't want to miss a minute of it.

The Groupon Guide to: the Flip Side

Many people just assume that everything they read is true without ever looking at the counter argument. Take a look at the flip side of some of these “universal truths”:

Universal Truth: Lying is bad.
The Flip Side: What about lying to save someone’s life? If your child wants to leave the house, but you know that the world is a place full of danger, is it wrong to lie and say there’s nothing out there?

Universal Truth: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The Flip Side: Do nothing unto others. You don’t know where others have been. Others could have been playing in the toilet.

Universal Truth: The earth orbits the sun.
The Flip Side: Our planet is just a big rubber ball that a giant baby is playing with, and the sun is a night-light in the baby’s bedroom. Other planets are the baby’s other toys. Gravity is the baby’s hands.

Universal Truth: Don’t bring electronics with you into the bathtub.
The Flip Side: What if your phone is in a plastic bag? Would it still electrocute you? Would it?

What should we do unto others?
