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.
Carpe diem Life,
