Indiana gives me migraines
I just got back from a business trip to Indiana, which was pretty much a waste of my time, but thats the way it goes.
When you travel to other cities for business, finding somewhere to eat is always a chore. You kind of want to eat at a place you wouldn't find anywhere else, and see a bit of the local culture, for what it's worth, but your on a tight timetable, need to be alert the next day, so you tend to gravitate more towards the known entities.
Now I see why. Monday night was a fairly average, but nice enough, dinner at Outback, a national chain. We knew what to expect, and got it.
Tuesday night, we got adventurous, and hit up a local, highly recommended, Irish pub. Not just any, but one that had been carved out and constructed in Ireland, then shipped over, and put back together by Irish workmen, apparently.
I ordered fish and chips. How could you go wrong with that right?
I was asked if I wanted 1/2 or 1 full pound - not sure of what, I went with the pound. It's all getting expensed, right?
The chips were American chips - ie Crisps. Not quite the kind you get in a bag, but not what I expected.
The fish - I got a full pound of deep fried fish. More fry than fish. It was dry, unappetizing and I managed half of one. Barely touched the chips.
By the end of the meal, I had a headache. By the time I got to my hotel, I had a migraine for the first time in 10 years or so.
Not much fun in Indiana. I was passed out by 9pm, and slept all night.

Should be here at Bronte. The fish and chips are FANTASTIC.
