diners, drive-ins and dives

On Monday, while we were driving home from Indiana, we stopped for lunch. Not just an ordinary place....no, it was a restaurant that was on the food networks Diners, Drive-ins and Dives show. It's Charlie Parker's Diner in Springfield, IL. I've been wanting to go to this place ever since we moved to Missouri. Springfield is pretty close to being halfway between us and Lafayette, so it just seemed fitting. Mike had the special, which was a pork tenderloin, mash potatoes, green beans. I had the french dip. We tried each others food, and everything was delicious!
