Whose tacos are worse, Jack In The Box’s hope-there’s-no-one-blocking-the-crapper gut bombs, or the new-kid-on-the-block tacos from Burger King?

At work, a “show stopper” was removed from the main effort I need to finish before leaving so I’m suddenly “up to here” with things I can accomplish. Consequently, the work-days this week – today, tomorrow and then Friday – should pass very quickly.

Many, many years ago, that was my nickname – skinny Skinner. I was the proverbial 98 pound weakling. Even after entering the work force, my weight stayed at 125 pounds.

A whole lobster is not necessarily a big meal. This one was 1.25 lb. but next time I’ll move up to 1.5 lbs.

Lunch is $9.95. Impeccable.

Captain Bill’s, 122 Ocean Ave, Bay Shore (Long Island), NY.

There are ten tables, one of which seats six, but that includes several deuces and a bar that seats four. At best, 45 customers at one time is the limit. It’s a small place.

Chuck Wagon BBQ on Madison Blvd in Madison Alabama is a weekday, lunch-only place. I’ve been there on business trips to Huntsville for each of the past several years and they’ve never let me down. Expect a crowd, foam plates and plastic dinnerware. Lunch will be more than $10 but less than $20 - there’s a Krystal and McDonalds down the street if you can’t afford it but you’ll get no sympathy from me. This place is worth every penny.
