Another one of my hobbies . . .

Just thought I'd mention another one of my hobbies -- one I also share with my brother-in-law Lance:  "Greasy Spoons."  


 According to that all-powerful, all-knowing Wikipedia, a "greasy spoon" is
"a colloquial term for a small, cheap restaurant or diner typically specializing in fried foods.  According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term originated in the United States and is now used in various English-speaking countries. Originally disparaging, the term is now more frequently used in an endearing sense."


Saturday, while in Owensboro, we set off in search for a great lunch.  On U.S. 60, east of Owensboro, we found it:  The Country Ham Restaurant -- since 1949.

And what's The Country Ham Restaurant famous for?  You guess it:  Fried Fish, Hush Puppies, French Fries, Cole Slaw.

It's one of the little-known hole-in-the-wall joints that offer inexpensive good food, friendly service, all enjoyed in a "best finds at the thrift store" decor.

Delicious!




Oh, and the spoons?  Clean.
