The Little Eat & Greet That Could

CSDH 2009 004aa pie 1

What began as a humble invitation to dine together resulted in a Roadfood Glee Club reunion of sorts, a mere two weeks after group members ate their way across Memphis, Tennessee. Spending the weekend in Ohio, Amy & I planned to meet Cincinnati expert CajunKing for dinner at Camp Washington Chili Parlor on Saturday and then head down to Louisville, Kentucky to have lunch with Mayor Al & Janet Bowen on Sunday at Claudia Sanders Dinner House in nearby Shelbyville. To our astonishment, who should walk through the door on Sunday but The Travelin Man, who just happened to be in Louisville on a business trip. But the prize went to intrepid traveler Nocarolina, who drove down from Chicagoland that morning to join us for lunch—without using any interstate highways! We were amazed at how rapidly news travels across RF lines and were thrilled yet again to meet all of our wonderful friends. Mayor Al snapped this picture of The Travelin Man bellying up to the pie buffet at Claudia Sanders, and his eager grin perfectly encapsulates the friendliness and enthusiasm on tap at local Eat & Greets.

I'm completely surprised that Buffestbuster wasn't there!

Even if he was galavanting in other part of the country, I don't see any reason why he could have been at two places at once

Ayersian--(both of you)

   It was our pleasure to host this little dinner. I am glad things worked out for all involved to meet at CSDH. The comradery is a real 'high point' to these meals, but we were particularly pleased to see the reaction of the group to the meal itself. Our Buffet experiences run 'Hot and Cold' (literally) but this one surpassed our best expections. We love the veggies at this Dinner House and our feelings were reinforced by positive feedback by the other members at the table. Who would of thought that Stewed Tomatoes would have received such glowing reviews ??
The pie shot was a good way to chide our friend BB about his Pie-eating habits!!

Al,
You have to know it is now my goal to top that photo!  It will be difficult, though.
