    About 6 months ago, I called Petro corporate to complain about the nasty buffet at Carlisle, Pa. The manager called me back to apologize and she mentioned that 80% of he restaurants business is truck drivers. I told her she had nothing to brag about until 80% of the business are local people. Not much of a choice where to eat with 70' of truck. I don't think the woman had a clue what I meant :biggrin_25517:

    There is an Applebees at exit 3a, by Mall Del Norte. It's where all 6 Anglo people who live in Laredo hang out. You can park in the mall lot and there is also a Red Lobster.

    All the dust/dirt blowing around becomes part of the seasoning. A taste you just can't find anywhere else.

    I can see them cooking and washing their hands. I have seen numerous ta cooks walk out of the bathroom without washing. I avoid them like the plague.
