Hope
everyone had a great holiday weekend. We’ve
put off some of our tours of the area thinking that they would be less crowded
after the weekend. So, we hit up a
couple of the most recommended eating places.
Both of these places have been written up in local and state magazines
and have been featured in “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”. However…..
Banbury
Cross Donut shop’s online reviews were raving about these being the best donuts
ever. It’s a small place, seating maybe
18 inside. The parking lot is also small
but the line of vehicles going through the drive-in window was endless.
The donuts were very good, but I was also very
hungry. I had the maple long john at the
store and took a rosette home for later.
It turned out I liked the rosette better.
Although good, I don’t think this shop makes
my top five.
1. Small spot in Pratt, KS – I don’t even
remember the name but their donuts are heavenly.
2. Quack Daddy Donuts in Pendleton, IN –
they might move to number one if they had chocolate yeast donuts
3. A place on Hwy. 109 in Anderson, IN –
once again I can’t remember the name.
Makes you wonder if I go brain dead around donut shops.
4. Krispy Crème – these go to the top of
the list if they are warm.
5. This one is just from memory, they
don’t exist anymore. The Golden Crust
donut place in Anderson, IN. Used to go
there with my parents, loved their chocolate yeast donuts.
Our next
stop yesterday was Wal-Mart. We have
been binge watching the Netflix series, “Longmire” in the evening. We started this after we made a stop in
Buffalo, Wyoming which is the town depicted in the series as Durant, WY. Since internet service isn’t always the best
for streaming for a binge watching session we decided to go find the series on
CDs.
Today we
decided to check out the Red Iguana Mexican Restaurant. This place received numerous rave reviews
online – the place you shouldn’t miss in Salt Lake. It was indicated that even if you had a long
wait, it was truly worth the time. We
only had to wait about 15 minutes.
We found some
unusual décor on the front of the building, looks like decals from all over.
We were
seated in a small nook all by ourselves.
The good part was it was kind of nice to be away from all the hustle and
bustle. The bad part was they forgot we
were there. After a while a waitress did
stop by and take our order for mango margaritas. Greg had the shrimp fajitas and I had one of
the house specials. It was good but I
would have been disappointed if I had stood in line an hour for it. I think Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant in Mesa
has spoiled us.
