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

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.
