We May Take A Trip To Ruby Tuesday In Lumberton, NC Soon For Rib Eye.

No Quiznos in Bar Harbor, Maine. My closest Quiznos is 1 1/4 hour drive from my office. In fact, Subway is the only chain restaurant of any kind on the whole island.
We have plenty of other restaurants, of course, but most of them are four and five star sit-down type affairs. The others are cheaper and greasier, but nothing is quick (and I needed fast food).
BTW... Mileage/driving time to nearest (from my office):
McDonalds: 20.2 miles, approx 45min - 1hour (summer) 30 min (winter)
Wendy's: 20.6 miles, same driving time as above
Quiznos: 45.2 miles, approx 1.25 hrs (+30 minutes in summer)
Red Lobster: 54.3 miles, approx 1.4 hours winter
Arby's: 54.5 miles, approx 1.5 hours winter
Starbucks (until they close those stores): 54.4 miles, 1.5 hours winter
Starbucks (after they close those stores): 102 miles, 2.25 hours winter
Maine, especially coastal Maine, is different from most places. We don't have many chain restaurants, nothing is open 24 hours, we don't have big-box stores, and for the most part... We don't care.
Sigh... But tonight is another long one, and I think I'll end up with Subway or something similar again. Maybe I'll give myself some extra time and get some Rosalie's Pizza though. Mmmmmm...

I Drove To Lumberton, NC With Sue At 4:30 So I Could Get A Rib Eye, We Have A Ruby Tuesday About 7 Miles From Me But We Always Go To Lumberton (About 45 Miles) They Season It Better.
Tonight I Found Out When You Order A Stake The Salad Bar Is Free (They Did Increase The Price $2.00 For The Rib Eye However) I Think It Was $43.00 Or So For Dinner) I Tip 20% So It Was Total About $52.00.
I Closed My Eyes When I Was Chewing, It Was So Good.
As Far As Population, I Checked Out Where I Lived In The 60's Copper Harbor In Mich, And Currently The Whole County Has Under 200 People In It.
It Is Nice Up There On The Lake.

I'm jealous. I ended up having nothing (didn't have enough time). Now I'm starving!!

Unfortunately, I'm at my "second job" and there's no personal storage space available really (and no microwave in any case). I should have at least had a candy bar or something but it didn't work out.
Oh well... I think I have enough blubber to sustain me tonight for another hour or so until I can get home! ;D
