RAT TOES!

Thanks to the cloudy day we managed to keep the top down the whole way from Aiken to Chesterfield. We had a nice visit with Donna’s aunt, cousin and spouse of cousin. The cousins had just this year retired from the New Jersey, actually eastern PA, rat race and moved to South Carolina. After getting a tour of the new house we settled in for some reminiscing. We thought for lunch we could all go into downtown Chesterfield and find a nice local restaurant to eat at. But apparently dining options are limited in the town of 1,338, so lunch was had at the local Subway.

After lunch we said goodbye and instead of turning left and heading home we went right and headed north to Concord, NC. That’s right, Razzoo’s for dinner. The wait for a table was 15 minutes, but definitely worth it, although after we were seated we couldn’t figure out why the wait because there were still plenty of empty tables and it looked like there was plenty of wait staff. Speaking of servers, my buddy Mark asked me to pat ours on the butt because everyone of the females that ever waited on us were very young and attractive. I think Mark thought I would get in trouble with my wife if I did, well the joke is on him. It didn’t bother Donna at all, but Spence was a little weirded out by it.

I had Rat Toes for appetizer (I saved you 3 Mark) and Donna got the Crawdaddy Fondue Dip. For dinner we split a Li’l Side Salad and the Cajun Combo Skillet. We were so full we skipped desert…for about 60 minutes. After we got back to the hotel we walked across the street to a Sonic for a Sundae and a Blast.

In an effort to burn off a portion, a very small portion, of the calories consumed at Razzoo’s we risked life and limb walking across the huge parking lot from the restaurant to the Concord Mills Mall. We then risked our charge card balance by walking all the way around the 1.4 million square foot shopping mall. We actually showed some restraint there, I bought the movie Grand Prix on DVD at FYE and Donna bought a couple of bracelets at a kiosk called Be Unique.
