I was going to hit the gym tonight after the conference let out, but the European contingent showed some cohesiveness by ditching the guy from London. Well, he’s a guy from Hong Kong originally but he’s still a Euro to me. In any case, he was stuck by himself so I had to tear myself away from the chick flick I was watching to go out to dinner with him. We ended up wandering around downtown Lexington which does double duty as a ghost town on Tuesday evenings.<\/p>\n
My usual metric for finding a restaurant is to find something that has regional food and that isn’t empty. Unfortunately, the most people I saw in a restaurant was six, and that was the place I insulted two of the wait staff who were having a smoke behind the place. I asked if the place could be any good with so few people in it and when I realized what I had done I told the Londoner that I didn’t want spit in my food so we kept moving.<\/p>\n
I finally stopped a couple of people and asked where they would eat and we went to what I would call a dive. There was a woman close to my age with a kid who looked like he was in his early 20’s. The animated conversation was not one that relatives have; it seemed more like a date. It didn’t spoil my dinner of fried green tomatoes and a pork chop with apple sauce (the apples were from the cook’s back yard).<\/p>\n
