I traveled in Wholesale Hardware outside sales and sales support for almost 40 years, I learned that when you are in a town and don’t know where to stop and eat, use the Parking Lot Test.
Ignore the sign outside, non chain operations that attract local customers is where you want to go. If the parking lot is full at breakfast, lunch and dinner; that is where you want to stop.
Never fails. If the parking lot is empty, Never stop.
I always remember the well known local restaurants and go back when in the area.
was a “Drummer”
Good times.
