A'ite. We gotta come up with a plan. All this time, I've been worried about parking for boats thinking that everybody would come off the lake and head right the restaurant, but in talking with Speck, I realized last year there was probably only 2 boats in the parking lot as most came in, got cleaned up and then went to eat. So, if you take a huge parking lot out of the equation, we've got a lot more options.

Here's my list of nominations. Vote on one or more or add your own and I'll put up a pole to run through Wednesday PM and decide from there. My pole will only have those places that seem to have the most support:

Here's my list in no particular order:

1) 333 (awful convenient, I like the food and plenty big for us)
2) No Way Jose (excellent food, Mexican, but a good number of non Mex dishes, more than big enough, will handle a few boats - Hey DD, Margaritas...I'm just saying.)
3) Western Sizzlin - (Ok food, normally a decent sized buffet, plenty of seating and parking is more than adequate)
4) Scott's Cross Roads - (Some may not be familiar with this one, but they have a big seafood buffet and is located up Hwy 7 headed towards Coffeeville, parking and seating not an issue)
5) Orleans - (located downtown, boat parking limited, food is great, a little more pricey though, plenty of seating)
6) The Bait Shop - (Ya'll all know this one...seating is a concern to me, but I like his food)

Also, I talked to Lee Jackson at the Bait Shop a little bit ago. He's going to be open Saturday at or just before 5 and will bring in a waitress for us so everyone can just order. I asked him to plan on 30 people at least and also asked him to have a good supply of the larger minnows on hand if for any reason you would want to use a non-large fish catching size of minnow. For whatever reason. I'd personally appreciate it if everyone stopped in and spent at least a little money with him that AM or at least while you're in town. He's a good guy and is willing to help us out anytime we need it.

A'ite, the let the vittle wars begin.
