                              Binion's Roadhouse

Given that Brevard [1] has been rather crowded [2], Bunny thought it might be
a good idea to try nearby Hendersonville [3] for dinner. “A steak house,” she
said. “Binion's Roadhouse [4] sounds good.”

So Binion's Roadhouse it is. Some thirty minutes later we're driving through
the parking lot of Binion's. The full parking lot of Binion's. The line
snaking out the front door and across the parking lot of Binion's. “This
place seems full,” said Bunny. “Why don't we try downtown Hendersonville?”

So downtown Hendersonville it is. A few minutes later we're driving though
downtown Hendersonville and not a free parking space to be seen. Sure, there
were a few empty parking spots, but there were people nearby hawking them for
$5.00 a pop. It didn't help that a few streets were closed off for pedestrian
use only. Man, what is it with North Carolina towns in the summer? Are they
always this crowded? “You know,” Bunny said, “Binion's wasn't that bad a
choice.”

So Binion's Roadhouse it is.

The wait wasn't that bad, actually. Maybe ten minutes. And the food was worth
it (except for the fried pickles—they were a bit greasy and to me, tasted a
bit like fried fish). But vegetarians and those with nut allergies are
advised to avoid the place.

There is also no relation to Binion's [5], the Las Vegas casino, excpept that
the owner of Binion's Roadhouse is friends with the owner of Binion's and has
a license to use the name (I asked).
