So I decide to take Patti out and try this new pizza place about 2 miles from our condo.  I'd ridden by it several times on my way to the mtn bike trails around Willow Lake.  We drive over there and go in.  We'd had bad luck finding a good pizza place since we moved here.  We tried Nick & Willie's and it was basically tomato ketchup on warm cardboard.  Then downtown we tried another spot and it was marginally better.  So here we go.  First tip-off to problems are the hours on the door.  Open from 11 AM-3 PM, Mon - Thurs and 11 AM-7 PM on Fri - Sat.  Uh, kinda weird hours but OK.  So we go in and the woman says "can I help you?"  Uh, sure, can we sit down cuz we want to order a pizza.  "Sure...do you have reservations?"  Huh?  FOR A PIZZA???  WTF, do you want a passport and 3 forms of identification too?  So it's off to Applebee's instead.

What is wrong with this part of the country.  Nobody eats blueberry pancakes and you can't get a decent pizza, and maybe when you think you can, you need a reservation!
