Midlands & Moonshine Run

Last Thursday we went to Midland Inn aka Middies for the first time in a while.  We took Lisa's nephew and his family there along with her brother Fred and Cathy.  We ordered some appetizers and I ordered catfish.  The mushrooms we got were a lot better than we'd had earlier in the week.  My catfish was once again disappointing, just not as good as when they cut them in strips.  Note to self, stay away from the catfish.  My slaw was okay but needed more dressing on it.  Nicole is a big hushpuppy fan so I gave her all mine and she seemed to like them.  I guess you can't find them very many places in Cali.
On Friday we went to Moonshine Run to "celebrate" Mike and Debbie's engagement earlier that day.  They picked the place which took a while and finally selected a place they hadn't been.  We ordered some fried mushrooms and they were even better than Middies.  I ordered a burger with grilled mushrooms and onions along with swiss cheese and a side salad.  I said to bring the salad out at the same time.  Lisa and Debbie got italian beef and Mike got a plain cheeseburger.  When my burger came out it had fries with it, the waitress said the cook throws fries on everything and that she wouldn't charge us for them. then brought out the side salad.  The salad seemed plain but it was good and not very big.  My burger was good but I think I liked the one we had there first time we went better.  The fries were excellent, hand cut and tasty.
