I had one of the best privileges this summer. I got to take my 12-year old nephew for 4 days to the airshow in Oshkosh, WI and spend 3 days with 500,000 of our closest friends and 12,000 airplanes. WOW, did I learn a lot about airplanes. My oldest nephew was a Certified Flight Instructor for the airport over the summer and so I also had the unique opportunity to hang out with my OLDER brother and his wife and her family. On the last night of the airshow, after I took my two nephews to the airport to fly back to Florida, my brother, sister-in-law, and I went to this unusual looking restaurant just off the airfield called Friar Tuck's. It was the most delightful quaint restaurant with such delightful atmosphere. I felt like we stepped back in time to a pub during Robin Hood's time. So, I ordered this "plain ole" slow-cooked roast beef sandwich with fries...nothing big, just sounded good.
Can I just say that I like this restaurant and sandwich SO much that upon my return to Louisville, I wrote a letter to the owner and asked them to bring their restaurant to Louisville! Unfortunately, even though I sent the letter 3 times...it got returned every time. :( But, this was the absolute best roast beef sandwich I've ever eaten. It actually melted in my mouth. I'm embarrassed to say, but I believe the words "food sex" came out of my mouth.
If you're ever in Oshkosh or Fond Du Lac, WI - you MUST go!!! And then join me on the campaign to get them to Louisville!
