Hi Dave,


 RH> The one in WF isn't exactly on the main drag either. There used to be a
 RH> PDQ beside it; they recently closed and I've heard that a Cook Out is
 RH> coming to fill the spot. Best thing I've heard about them is that they
 RH> regularly have about 45 flavors of milkshakes, with special ones added
 RH> seasonally.

 DD> you're in good shape.  Bv)=

This one was more like Chick-Fil-A, but not as good. When they first
opened, they had a blueberry cole slaw which was pretty good. We'd not
been there in some years when we went a couple of years ago and found
that the cole slaw had been taken off the menu. As for Popeyes--the
nearest one is Raleigh; we do have a couple of Bojangles in town but we
prefer Popeyes.


 DD> Some of those servers (I almost used the "sexist" girls) are amazing.
 DD> I see them with four or five dinners at a time, spread up both arms
 DD> from wrist to ....... and delivered to table without spilling a noodle.

 RH> I've seen that too. Also seen in Raleigh at one place we've stopped at
 RH> where the waitress looks to be older than me--but she keeps hustling.

 DD> In almost every non-chain place here there is one server who is the #1
 DD> of the staff. There is a lady at Parkway Cafe who seems to be
 DD> everywhere, taking care of the tables plus picking up the slack for
 DD> other servers.
 DD> And I have seen patrons split their tip between their server and her.

Sounds like one lady who earns her pay, and tips.

Last night Steve stopped at a new-ish smokehouse and smoothies place.
They were all out of sides but for baked beans but he got about 1/4 lb
pulled pork and a brisket sandwich. I took not quite half of the pork, a
good couple of forkfuls of the brisket and an onion (non fried) ring & a
couple of pickles, plus the bun top. The meat was good but a little bit
on the dry side, probably because it was the end of the day's out put.
I'd go back, doing so during the day when I could try some of the sides.
