That's very true Ken, I haven't eaten at the better quality hotels. I
only traveled because I was forced to, and wouldn't do it for
"pleasure" at any rate. I'm sure there is good food to be found there
somewhere. My expense account wouldn't allow anything above a
Doubletree-type place. Geez, you'd think that at over 200 a night you
can get some edible food. Course I guess that's not all that much
money these days. I will admit that the accomidations were very good
at the DT. Nice room. IIRC, that was in Atlanta. However, being
forced to scour around for edible food led me to some interesting
places, particularly when I was in Little Rock. There was a place
call "Granpa's Catfish Hole" or something like that. There was only
one bathroom with a showere curtain for a door, and the floor was
composed of an old basketball court, not put together in any special
arrangement. The food was served family style, great big bowls
everywhere, and I ate until I was ready for death. They told us if we
couldn't get a ride next time "Bubba'll come get ya'll in the
pickup". Nice people - good food.
