Between unforeseen circumstances and just plain laziness, it’s been a while since we posted. So, we are starting out with food (naturally).

New restaurant: Keke’s Breakfast Café

We always enjoy a good breakfast and it seems like every month a new place we haven’t tried is brought to our attention. So we grabbed our friend, Kathy, and went to Keke’s to see how it held up. Barbara enjoyed her French toast with fruit because they put a load of it on top of the toast but the toast itself wasn’t that flavorful. Laura’s pancake was quite big but not very tasty either and her cheesy grits, which we usually both love, were very bland. All in all, with so many breakfast places out there we will not be returning.

New restaurant: Layne’s Chicken Fingers

We’ve passed this restaurant in Allen many times and wondered about it, so this time we stopped in. The first thing we noticed as we pulled into the parking lot was a notice on the door. We would have thought they went out of business, but there were a bunch of cars in the lot. When we got to the door we saw this (which put a smile on our faces):

Like some other restaurants do, Layne’s had signs showing the places where their chicken fingers are located. The last sign read: “Mike’s Mother’s House.” We also noticed a whole bunch of little drawings on the wall. This is because when they opened in 1994, they gave paper tickets to the customers when they ordered. Some of those customers would doodle or sketch on them so they kept the ones they thought were the best and now they have a whole wall of them.

We ordered the chicken fingers meal and a shake and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be back when we want some good finger lickin’ chicken.
