The restaurant plans to be open year round, every day but Wednesdays.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>By Jill Nagy<br \/>\nHomestyle food, made from scratch and priced to accommodate young families, is on the menu at XII Sporks, a new restaurant at 462 Canada St. in Lake George.<br \/>\n\u201cXII\u201d is the Roman numeral 12. It was chosen because there were originally 12 family members involved in the business. Some dropped out, but the name stuck. A spork is an eating utensil that combines the bowl of a spoon with the tines of a fork.<br \/>\nThe restaurant opened on Oct. 12, the beginning of a slow season on Lake George, \u201ca good time to open and learn,\u201d according to Misty Feulner, one of the owners.<br \/>\nThey plan to be open rear-round, every day but Wednesday.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s our dream,\u201d Feulner said, explaining that, \u201cever since I was little\u201d she wanted to own and operate a restaurant. <!--more--><br \/>\nShe has a degree in hotel and restaurant management from Schenectady County Community College. She and other members of her family have been in and out of the restaurant business over the years.<br \/>\n\u201cEverybody has had their hand in food,\u201d she said. \u201cEverybody\u201d includes her fianc\u00e9, Richard Reedy; her brother, Brandon Furman; and half a dozen sons and daughters who are active in the new venture, plus a couple of others who help out on the weekends. All six full-time employees are family members.<br \/>\nThe restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., serving breakfast, lunch and dinner all day. There are plans for a new menu and extended hours in February.<br \/>\nMenu items include hamburgers, corn beef hash, fish and chips, and meatloaf.<br \/>\nThey will serve beer and wine as soon as they have the appropriate liquor license. The eatery already sees a few regular customers and people have been coming from as far off as Warrensburg, she said.<br \/>\nSenior citizens, first responders, and veterans receive discounts on their meals. Take-out is available and delivery is provided through Grub Hub.<br \/>\nXII Sporks is housed in leased space that has its own long food service pedigree. It was most recently occupied by the Chinatown Buffet and, before that, by Luigi and Guissepi, the Four Seasons, and others. Renovations included upgrading the kitchen and painting but not much else was needed.<br \/>\nBut \u201cwe are in it for the long term,\u201d Feulner said. Financing for the business came from the family members. \u201cWe didn\u2019t borrow any money. It all came from us.\u201d<br \/>\nXII Sporks has a presence on Facebook, Instagram and Linked In. The phone number is 518-685-5082.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jill Nagy Homestyle food, made from scratch and priced to accommodate young families, is on the menu at XII Sporks, a new restaurant at 462 Canada St. in Lake George. \u201cXII\u201d is the Roman numeral 12.
