Drove 190 miles round trip to eat at Old Country Buffet

Tweet

There was an Old Country Buffet restaurant my children and I visited for years. It was their favorite go to place for celebrating. It closed down a few months ago and so I told my children that during the summer we would go on a road trip to whichever of their locations was closest. We decided to go eat there last night. It wound up being 90 miles away. It was a long drive but nice scenery. We got there and were very disappointed. Many of the plates had food dried on and stuck on top. All of the bottoms of the plates were sticky and many of the bowls for soup had food dried on as well. If that wasn't enough there were fruit flies buzzing around our plates as we ate. I really did not want to eat there as soon as I saw that but we drove such a long way and were starving I thought my children would be upset if we decided not to eat there. It took even longer to get home as the gps routed us many miles out of the way...as usual. It has been over 24 hours now and none of us have gotten sick so I guess that is good. When I was driving I was thinking about one of our mylotters here @Blondie2222 who is having health problems and likes when she is able to frequent the casino I drove past.
