The Story of The Goose
The building where The Goose is now has an interesting past. Before it became The Goose, it was a tavern called The Blue Goose. This old place served drinks and even sold eggs!
From 1990 to 2014, the building was home to a Tex-Mex restaurant named Esparza's. Then, on June 7, 2014, Kristine Craine opened the current restaurant. She used some parts of Esparza's inside, like the bar, for her new place.
Matthew Stauss was the first chef at the restaurant. At first, it was called The Blue Goose, just like the old tavern. Later, the name was changed to simply The Goose.
