Breakfast on the island was usually cereal and lunches were frequently turkey sandwiches, but evenings were for going out to eat. Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n
1. Cracker Barrel. \u00a0The food was okay, but the clerk in the country store was inhumanly cheery. \u00a0I couldn’t stand her, and she kept stalking me. \u00a0I suspected she was developed in a vat of “down-home country cheer”, but that did not excuse her behavior. \u00a0I was grateful to have escaped and would not be \u00a0– as she suggested – “coming back around to see them soon”<\/p>\n
2. Pizza from the local pizza place. \u00a0 Two pizzas = $38.50 \u00a0 They were good, I think. \u00a0We were all so hungry that they might have been terrible – but even if they were “good”, they weren’t “$38.50” good. \u00a0Dang.<\/p>\n
3. Outback. \u00a0I got the burger and we all split an order of tuna ahi that was amazing. \u00a0I added a little of the wasabi and soy dipping sauce to my burger \u00a0– it was really good.<\/p>\n
4. At the Harbor Burgers and Brews (I had the chicken), we got attacked by an errant\u00a0Frisbee. \u00a0I did my best “Get off my Lawn!” old man scowl at the kids that came around the shrubs to retrieve the errant disk. \u00a0Didn’t get even a half-heated “sorry” when I handed it back to them. \u00a0I vowed to de-rezz at least one of the little jerks if they tossed it back at me, but they had better aim for the rest of the meal. \u00a0The food was good, but the portions were a little small – think we were all still a little hungry after we ate. Fries were good though.<\/p>\n
5. Fudruckers was really pricey, but they had a University of Akron\u00a0pennant\u00a0on the wall.<\/p>\n
6. Had to go to organic foods store to find any peaches. \u00a0Really? \u00a0I thought that they just handed those out in the South.<\/p>\n
7. Triple chocolate brownie and an orange soda at\u00a0Starbucks. \u00a0Made metalkreallyreallyreallyfastaboutnothingimportantforafewminutes.<\/p>\n
8. Old Oyster Factory. \u00a0There’s more to this story than the $40 tab for two\u00a0appetizers, but that is better served for another entry.<\/p>\n
9. Reilly’s had really good food and the outdoor patio was great.<\/p>\n
Overall, I ate pretty well, complained about the cost quite a bit, and got enough exercise that I didn’t feel bad about the occasional gorging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
