Expect a warm, knotty-pine dining room straight out of a relative's mountain cabin — that is exactly the feel the family is going for — with home-style plates crossing the counter all day, a soup-and-salad bar along the way, and takeout or delivery when you would rather eat back at your own place.
Susan Edwards and her daughter Danelle French opened Aunt Sue's Chalet on September 28, 2008, with a favorite nephew supplying the name. It was a second act for a restaurant family: the Edwards had run the Chalet Cafe in Mesquite, Nevada for roughly two decades, and their Duck Creek roots reach back to property they bought in 1974 and a cabin they finished by 1980. Today you will often find four generations of the Edwards family working the dining room together.
