We ate at some Roadhouse tonight. Not Texas. Uh...Jimmy Macs. Not sure if
they are a chain or not. I had the chili and it was good although oddly a
bit too salty. But...

They offer you free peanuts in the shell. If you want them, you use one of
those bamboo salad bowls and scoop your own from a feed trough. Then you
eat them and toss the shells on the floor. The filthy, uneven, cement
floor.

I hated walking through the piles of shells to get to our table and I was
seated at the end of the booth so I had to keep looking at them down there.

What is the appeal of doing this? I ate one peanut. One. Not even a
double one. Just a single peanut and didn't want any more. Not that I
dislike peanuts but... The whole experience rather dampened my appetite and
I am glad that I only ordered the chili and not a meal. Oh and the burgers
are served in a hubcap. Again, don't get it.

Hop Jacks serves their food in a pie tin. Yep. A lightweight, slippery
bottomed metal pie tin that wants to shoot across the table as you try to
eat.

What is with this stuff? Can we not serve our food on plates? And why do
we throw the trash on the floor? Am I being a stick in the mud? Or do
people really like this?
