    Truck Stop

    I thought I was the only one who noticed that wood disgized as chicken. I did once luck out and had some that was fresh and juicy, thought I was at KFC or Bojangles. For a decent dinner, try just a salad bar with the soup. Have not yet gotten sick (upset stomach) from just the salad bar.

    This is also what I was talking about on the Post RE:NO EXPEDITORS allowed in a area. SLOBS. I have often wondered when the J and others are going to make us begin using (and I am all for it) plastic gloves to belly up to the food bars. Seems like a good idea to me. I have gotten sick...
