Hi Brennen. My name is Gabby Jr. Wild Elk Den is my mother's restaurant. Sadly, Gabby the chef passed away from Covid-19 on July 13. I just wanted to say thank you for reviewing her restaurant on this channel. She was so happy. It truly was a highlight in her chef career. After this video was posted, her restaurant exploded with new customers and well deserved recognition. The Elk herd grew. Again, thank you so much for supporting our mom and sharing her love of great food.

Brennen I want to thank you so much for doing this review.

This was her dream that finally became a reality. Your video really made me feel like I was there and witnessed it all, and it’s given me so much comfort. Thank you for letting the world know that she has a 5 star restaurant ❤️

So sad!!! It makes me happy that you got to see this and that she got to share her passion and business boomed. I seen the restaurant closed. Whats Victor doing now? Hes quite the character and wondered if he was at a new location where people could support him.

[@geedubb2226]

@@amarievargas80 Amarie, thank you for the kind words. His whereabouts are unknown. Sadly, Victor drained her accounts, sold her belongings and skipped town, leaving me to clean up the mess of her after life affairs. It took awhile to get over the anger but I rest knowing my mom's true legacy was not money or material things. She left us with the greatest love language of all: Feeding the souls of others. 💛

May she rest in peace, my dear beloved wife, thank you Brennen for your visit, Victor (Bicto) Gil. I really enjoyed you guys, and your followers coming over from all places. You made us run out of Yak within two weeks, and never caught up from the supplier. I closed the restaurant waiting to see if her family wants to run it awhile and I decide permanence.

I am so glad this channel made a video on this restaurant. This is my favorite place in the valley I try to eat here as much as possible. Me and my girlfriend go here every week just about. It feels like visiting family every time, and it is the best food I have ever had. Victor and Gabby are a treat. A wonderful bar to get a drink on a weekend as well because it's so fun and laid-back. Lots of games around too if you wanna play. Fair warning: you do have to be patient. There is only one cook and Gabby is particular about quality. Treat it like you are visiting auntie and she's cooking the family favorites. They are unabashed about this. I love it because going to the Wild Elk Den is an all night activity I rarely leave before close. Have a drink, chat, enjoy yourself, laugh at Victor's antics, etc. If you expect to drop in and eat quick they will recommend some menu items,most items take a while but they are super worth it.
