..my daughter in Tennessee and the grand kids were little. One was in a car carrier.. we put the carrier on the floor in the restaurant and soon noticed she was covered in black ants and so was the floor! The only people in that cafe were us and the waitress looked like she REALLY needed the job and the cook was iffy.

Thats the only reason I didnt call the Health Department.

Chic Fil A wasnt much better as we decide to go and there it was! Dora the Explorer Day! The place was full of small kids and the pop ( or sweet tea) spillage on the floor made our shoes sticky. We left before we ordered anything.
