Galloping Gobblers

We have been full time RV’ers since I retired and my bride jumped out of a perfectly good job back in February of 2000. Throughout the ensuing years we have traveled extensively throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. The first question we always ask the inhabitants of a new town is, “Where’s a good place to eat?” So, we decided to put together this little guide to partially answer that question for those of you newly arrived in a few of the areas we have visited. A word of warning though: Free advice is worth no more than you paid for it and having 3 or more people arrive at a unanimous opinion about any eating establishment is nearly impossible. My experience with food began within minutes of my emergence into this world and has continued happily and uninterrupted for more than 60 years. From the lobsters of New England to the Dungeness crab of San Francisco and from the halibut and salmon of Alaska to the crawfish and jambalaya of New Orleans, my bride and I have gobbled a path across the US and Canada. We eat at least one meal a day in a restaurant somewhere. The good ones see us often, and the others . . . well, there are just too many good eateries around to give a bad one a second chance. Please keep in mind that there are many more restaurants available than we mention here and, although we have tried, we haven’t eaten everywhere as yet. There are some restaurants in this guide that are now closed but we have decided to leave them included as a kind of history of how an area is changing. We have marked them as "CLOSED" in their title. Dollar ($) signs indicate the average price of menu entrees in $10 increments. We have also discovered that "no smoking" areas in some restaurants are treated more as a suggestion than an actual place you can eat without the annoyance of polluted air and that "Non Smoking" restaurants are really the only guaranteed place you can enjoy a smoke-free meal. ENJOY!!!!
