It was just as well it started raining as we finished up hiking at Conkle's Hollow (previous blog). It was already going on 2pm, and the rain gave us a perfect excuse to take a lunch break. I mean, we were already hungry for lunch, but if it hadn't rained we might've fretted about trying to do another hike first before the rain started. 🤣
We drove in to the small town of Logan for lunch. Hawk found a restaurant there called The Feed. Yes, The Feed. Not the Feed Lot (which I thought would be a better name) or even the Feed Box (which a vintage B&W photo inside implies was their predecessor's name in the 1950s). She picked The Feed because it offers a variety menu and has strong reviews on Yelp. The few fast food restaurants in town all had 2-star Yelp reviews... or worse.
The Feed looks like a typical small-town eatery. It's in an anonymous building with small windows that could be a restaurant, a bar, a liquor store, or a tattoo parlor. Inside it looks like someone's garage converted into casual dining. The menu is a laminated sheet of paper. The service is informal and kind of hit-or-miss when they're busy, but it's clear everyone's working hard. And the food turns out to be really good.
Hawk got a burger and fries while I went looking for something different on the menu. "Burger and fries... minus the fries" has been one of my dining-out strategies since starting Ozempic a week ago. I'm a little bored of it. I decided to give a try to... pizza! It was cheaper than the other entrees so I figured it'd be smaller.
The pizza that landed on the table 10 minutes later was about the (smaller) size I expected. Pre-"the pill" I would've snarfed the whole thing and thought about desert. Today I put aside one of the slices and ate the rest. I'd picked one of the house specialties, a pepperoni pizza with pesto and hot honey. It was surprisingly good. Like, all the flavors accentuated each other instead of just being jumbled together. (I'm especially skeptical of "hot honey" pizzas as hot honey is a fad that I've never found the taste benefit of... until today.)
We're leaving fully satisfied, headed back out into the rain.
What's next? Would you believe, a pencil sharpener museum!
