    Why didn't they just replace all four? So you can go back for the fourth one in a few days?

    Tariffs? Bonded warehouse only has 3 in stock. Maybe politics change AGAIN next week, then get 100 in while low. Make coin the next cycle, before free 90 days on warehouse lease kicks in. Timing is everything, especially in air bags and pregnancy planning.

    I agree.....only 3 (three) were authorized by the company.

    I went to Grandma's last time through, on the strength of your recommendation.

    They were good.

    But definitely NOT "like the Iowa 80 used to do them".

    Just my opinion.

    I remember big, honkin' 1.25-inch chops at the 80.

    In fairness, I was there right after the Jamboree, and they might've been using up the extras.

    Now, there were other menu items that looked good at Grandma's I was curious about, they have a marvelous dessert selection, friendly staff, and it's where the locals eat.

    I anticipate a lot of four wheeled HIDES on the trip back to CR, and the HIDES tend to congregate at the 80.

    So, I might end up at Grandma's, anyway.....

    Absolutely. I had one blow and a couple of days later had a second one blow. Went to the place and told them to replace all. I figured they were all made and installed on the same day, so they were all junk.

    Benyo.....you owe me $30 for a very small bottle of very hot Nicaraguan Death sauce. I'll wait patiently next to the mailbox.

    The Checkered Flag Bar & Grill in the same building as Grammas Kitchen has some pretty good food too. Used to have some great Fajitas.

    Again, I agree, but it wasn't my call.

    Maybe company guy will think twice about failing to temper his bean counting with "recommended maintenance practices" when he gets a call from this very same Love's on the return trip.....

    I try to avoid "bar and grill" places, especially on the weekend. That's just my baggage, tho.

    Some of them have great food.
