I swear

if there were a Dunkin' Donuts or a Krispy Kreme here in the downtown area, they would make a fucking killing. Of course, you still can't get a two-piece and a biscuit without driving at least two miles away from the statehouse.... explain that shit.

What's a 2-piece?

Two pieces of chicken.

Drake's Duck In.

Half way between Taylor and Hampton on Main. Don't know if they are open for dinner though.

And as a co-worker points out, don't know if they are even still open.

They are, and it was good. Thank your co-worker.

dude. there are THREE, count 'em THREE, Waffle Houses on the same street in a 5 mile stretch of my neighborhood.
And I just got back from one :)
I totally feel your pain. There were none to be had around my place in Georgia, while I was still living there.

There's an IHOP like three blocks away which is pretty good, and there used to be a great Indian restaurant right near it (until their boiler exploded and they closed).

And I still cannot fathom how the best damn steak place downtown managed to go out of business.

o.0 exploded?
thank you, I won't be coming again. *snickers*

Well, I think it was a boiler explosion. All I know is that I walked by it one day and there were all the indications of a fire having occurred. The building ended up being condemned and became de-facto homeless people shelter until they started another fire in there, gutting the building even further, and the city ordered it destroyed.

What did you consider the best steak place?

And since I don't care for Indian food as much (it is tasty but later disagrees with being eaten), the explosion at the Toledo Harmonica FactoryIndian Restaurant failed to register.

Please note the qualifier downtown.

It was Jon Paul's Armadillo Oil Company. I went by there some months back and they were closed and had moved all the stuff out. I still don't think there's anything or anyone moved in yet.

Man, I HATED Jon Paul's. But, that's just me.

There is a Ruth's Chris steak house just behind the IHOP. It's in that new Hotel they put up.

Haven't been there, but I know their reputation...

It's supposed to be pretty expensive, from what I recall.
