The next stop was the Bass Pro Shops. This is a huge facility with numerous fish tanks and even an indoor stream. At 3 o'clock we watched as a diver fed the fish in their largest tank. A speaker, outside the tank, gave a talk as the diver fed the fish. However, the diver in the tank also had a microphone and talked to us as he fed the fish. He described the fish he was feeding and even brought some of the fish up from the bottom of the tank so we could see them. It was quite a show, and free too!
We spent some money here, including some seasoning we found for Sue who has a hard time finding this seasoning. I bought a few flies for Friday's outing on Lake Taneycomo, my last before we leave here.
Our last stop was Lambert's Cafe' just south of Springfield. Lambert's is a restaurant that was strongly recommended by a fellow RV'er here at Oak Grove RV Park. He described it as being a fun place with great food.
It was crowded but we got a seat right away. Before we even had our menus, a waiter walking nearby called out for anybody who wanted a roll. We turned and the waiter threw a roll to each of us. Lambert's bills itself as "the home of throwed rolls." The hot rolls were opened up and before we could put butter on them a waitress came by with a can of warm sorghum molasses that she drizzled over our rolls. Mmmmmm good!
The dinner menu included many of the usual options along with Catfish; BBQ ribs; Ham; Chicken Gizzards; Hog Jowl; Meat Loaf; BBQ Pork Steak and Fried Chicken Wings. Ann chose the Fried Chicken Wings and I selected the Meat Loaf.
After choosing your main entree, another difficult decision faces you. What side? Each mean comes with two "veggies." The choices include, Corn; Baked Potato; Candied Yams; Baby Carrots; Cole Slaw; Turnip Greens; Mashed Potatoes; Sliced Peaches; Baked Beans; White Beans; Potato Salad; Cucumber Salad; Apple Sauce; Green Beans; Sliced Beets and Fried Apples. Whew! I chose the Corn and Fried Apples. Ann had the Turnip Greens and Cucumber Salad.
Sound like enough? Well, you're not done yet. As you enjoy your meal, servers walk around with pots of "Pass Arounds." Pass Arounds include more Rolls and Sorghum; Fried Potatoes and Onions; Macaroni and Tomatoes; Black Eyed Peas and Fried Okra. Add bottomless drinks and we're done. Sure, there was dessert but who could possibly have dessert after all this. The bill? Under $25.00 for both of us.
We got back to the coach about 45 minutes after leaving Lambert's and did nothing. Tomorrow we see another show!
