available By KRISTA BRICK Staff A quick climb up the Canadian Rockies may make you hungry enough for a dinner at Bugaboo Greek you may have to make the trip twice One step inside the Bugaboo Creek Steak House in Gaithersburg and you know right away this place isn't to offer you a plate of just as my husband so lovingly nicknames salads The name Bugaboo Creek conies from an area in British Canada Conrad a famous climbed and mapped the Bugaboo area in 1910 When his first attempt failed he is just a The name stuck and the area is now a challenging ski destination The with the namesake offers the taste of the Canadian outdoors in the atmosphere of a Canadian mountain lodge Game heads adorn the walls and some even talk or move their a treat for dren Another attraction for children is the restaurant's trading full of stuffed mals A children's menu including macaroni and hot dogs and a small rack of baby back ribs is available Kayaks hang on the bar stools are made to look like animals hind quarters and a hearthstone fireplace warms the room My husband and I sat in a comfortable wooden booth covered with a red and white checked tablecloth and looked over the extensive list of beers including Canadian and local Domestic beers cost and imports are a dollar more The wine list was stuck to the outside of a wine bottle and included a private label A glass of wine about a bottle costs about holic drinks are served in a large Mason jar As we read the menu we nibbled on a loaf of fresh-baked wheat bread brought complimentary to each table We started our dinner with a

lean I chose the Black Magic a 12 Oz top sirloin for The soning tasted like Cajun spices grilled into the steak Steak dinners are also served with den salad or Caesar salad and a choice of smashed baked fries or steamed vegetables For an additional Whitewater shrimp or baby back ribs can be added to any entree Complementing any entree are grilled available for 99 cents or sauteed available for
