Sorry you had such an unpleasant CW experience! The one thing I liked about the Lodge is that the sommelier and head chef did a wine tasting there every few Saturdays, but as a restaurant it's insanely expensive.

Which hotel did they move karaoke to? It was at the Hospitality House the whole time I lived there, but that got sold to the school for more dorm housing - and then they discovered mold in huge parts of it...

Also, the peanut soup recipe is online. Not the same as having it at a tavern, of course, but it looks good: http://www.history.org/almanack/life/food/fdpnutsp.cfm
