Whenever I travel, I like to go to local restaurants. My daughter’s at a softball camp, and we had to drive a ways to get here. We’re in a small town called Palatka, Florida.
For lunch, I went to Colee’s Restaurant, a local diner. The atmosphere was like any local, small-town diner, which I like, but unfortunately, the food was not very good. I got grilled chicken, a baked potato, and steamed broccoli. The chicken was dry, and the broccoli was mushy. The baked potato was good, but it’s hard to mess up a baked potato.
Even though the food was not great, I’m glad I went here. It’s more about the experience. When I’m traveling, I’d much rather have a bad meal at a local place I’ll likely never see again than a mediocre meal at a place like Applebee’s.
