The Retired Guys have a simple rule about "chain" restaurants and bars - if there is only one in Lancaster County, we'll try it and if there are more than one we'll try only one of them. Today, we sashayed over to the Longhorn Steakhouse at Park City Mall right here in Lancaster. As we sat at the bar which is separated from the main restaurant area we were greeted by Jen who would be our bartender for the afternoon. Jen has an outgoing type of personality, the kind you hope for in a bartender but amazingly only rarely find. She took care of us through our consumption of two craft brews and made her goodbyes at shift end while she transferred us to the next person on deck.
The name, Longhorn Steakhouse, has always made me envision massive grazing areas with longhorn steers happily meandering about while they munch on grass on a Texas or Oklahoma range until their number is up and they become nutrition for someone like me who is higher up on the food chain ladder. I was surprised to find that this western type facility was founded by two guys from Atlanta, GA who just wanted to make and market the perfect steak. While today's experience with just drinking beer won't allow us to pass judgement on the steaks, the few meals that were delivered to customers within our view definitely looked appetizing. Next time I get an urge for some nice red meat this is where I'll be heading!
In just a couple of more days we'll be entering a new decade. The two of us want to take the oporrtunity to wish all of our readers a Happy New Year and a Happy Decade to come.
Unitl next time......
