Marijuana grown atop ritzy eatery
Unwary patrons ate in dining room below


Residents of this village south of Owen Sound were in shock yesterday at the news a fine-dining restaurant in their midst housed a large-scale indoor marijuana grow operation and that police have charged the chef/owner and his estranged wife.

"Everyone is surprised, no one had any idea what was going on there," said Bob Elliot, whose hardware store is across the road from The Mill Restaurant, where police seized $600,000 worth of marijuana Tuesday.
