BUDAPEST SHRINE : London
The Budapest Restaurant is located downtown London, Ontario. The last time we dined here was some 30 plus years ago when my then future wife and I were dating. The proprietor Marika, pictured here is now in her late 70's and rises very early every morning to exercise first and then prepare the speciality ethnic dishes for the day by herself. After fifty years and exhausting two husbands, closing the eatery each and every late evening by herself, she shows absolutely no sign of, nor willingness to slow down whatsoever.
