Not sure what to say?

I pass by Cab Frye´s often and remember the good times Paul and I enjoyed eating there. It will never replace the superb cooking and relaxed atmosphere Robert created. It´s truly an unforgettable landmark in the tiny town of Palm, thanks to Robert.

I am so sorry to read of Robert´s passing. We were in touch before he went into a nursing home. My sincere condolences to his family. In 1975 my husband Paul and I found Cab Frye´s which was the beginning of long relationship. Robert and Paul found they had a lot in common and enjoyed good times. Paul was a hunter and would provide Robert with a deer whenever he was lucky to kill one. In return, Robert would prepare a dinner for a number of Paul´s friends, at no charge. Those good...

I worked for Chef Robert during the summer of 1977. He taught me how to make bearnaise sauce, spaetzle and rosti. He was secretive about some of his recipes including the Swiss onion soup. When the kitchen was slow he would head out back and do a few circuits on his dirt bike. One day a boy came to the back door with a snapping turtle. The chef's rule was if the turtle's shell was bigger than a phone book he would buy it. The turtle lived in the walkin for a few days until it was made into...

Bobbi and I shared a friendship at Cab Fryes through my culinary training in Switzerland. He knew I understood technique and love of food from my time in Grindelwald. Shard my beers at Palm hotel. He will be and has been missed
