NASHUA, NH– Whipping up a fresh batch of crawfish fettuccine for a clown, a snake charmer and a cowboy, chef Michael Vaughn was asked where the last stop on the tour was.
He paused but couldn’t remember.
“That’s where we draw a blank,” Vaughn said, laughing.
After asking a member of the crew, Vaughn, wearing a large, black chef’s coat, was reminded: Peoria, Ill. They had been traveling for three days by train before stopping Thursday in the switching yard off Colburn Street in Nashua.
The next stop: a set of weekend shows at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.
