Harper is a tiny town in the Hill Country of Texas. The Longhorn Cafe is the only eatery in town. In years past, the food was not good but people went there because it was there. A few years ago, a new owner took over operations. He also owned a successful restaurant in Kerrville. His experienced hand shows in the operating of The Longhorn Cafe. Today, when we walked in for lunch at 12:30, the place was full.
Ken and I wanted to take Joyce and Robbie out for lunch but trying to figure out the where and when was not easy to negotiate via e mail or the phone, so this morning I suggested that we all go to lunch for a planning session at The Longhorn Cafe. Robbie drove. We all four agreed so off we went. Interesting aside was that even though we made our decision shortly before lunch, they both managed to change clothes into proper attire while Ken and I were still wearing work clothes. No one minded. They are always better dressed than us. We just laugh.
Joyce wanted us to select the restaurant, but we do not eat out much anymore, which is why we needed to talk. I outlined a bunch of places and asked suggestions. Then Ken asked about barbecue. Neither of them had barbecue for months so they seemed most interested. The decision was to drive to Junction for barbecue, using the back roads and go tomorrow. Meeting adjourned.
Our lunch was excellent for what it was. Every day they have a special. which we all four ordered. Shrimp, catfish, vegetables and a roll. Delicious and our main meal. Being spontaneous is a good thing.
