Whose tacos are worse, Jack In The Box’s hope-there’s-no-one-blocking-the-crapper gut bombs, or the new-kid-on-the-block tacos from Burger King?

At work, a “show stopper” was removed from the main effort I need to finish before leaving so I’m suddenly “up to here” with things I can accomplish. Consequently, the work-days this week – today, tomorrow and then Friday – should pass very quickly.

Captain Bill’s, 122 Ocean Ave, Bay Shore (Long Island), NY.

Chuck Wagon BBQ on Madison Blvd in Madison Alabama is a weekday, lunch-only place. I’ve been there on business trips to Huntsville for each of the past several years and they’ve never let me down. Expect a crowd, foam plates and plastic dinnerware.
