Day 61 – West Virginia’s Midland Trail Part 2

Day 61 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

I ended up at Red Lobster last night with a pound of snow crab legs…my favorite.  I’m not much on chain restaurants, but I tell you, I’ve eaten at more chain and fast food places in the last 60 days than I have in the last several years!  Red Lobster always reminds me of childhood days.  My mom and Bart once came up with a plan for the children to try different restaurants on Monday night when my brothers Bart and Ed visited. 

Each Monday, one of us got to pick a restaurant.  Celebration and Chiquita’s were favorites until my brother Bart picked Red Lobster.  I think Ed and I picked Red Lobster the next two weeks and after a month of eating at the Red Lobster, the restaurant plan went by the wayside!

Day 60 – West Virginia’s Midland Trail

Day 60 of a Year Long Road Trip Along America’s Scenic Byways

Ok, so I couldn’t find Lucy’s last night, so I stopped by the local liquor store and asked where it was located.  The gentleman behind the register suggested if I wanted food that I should skip Lucy’s and go to the sports bar called Spare Time at the bowling alley.  Either he has a stake in the bowling alley, Lucy’s made him mad, or I ordered the wrong item. 

I’m always leery of ordering a chicken sandwich at places I haven’t been, but the bartender said they were good, so I went with the ranch chicken fillet sandwich.  I should have known fillet meant pressed chicken parts, not breast, GAG!  In their defense, the onion rings were good, and the quesadilla and wings that other patrons ordered looked tasty as well.
