Ron said he couldn’t figure out where to eat (because it takes too much brain power) and that for a town where eating out is the major entertainment, there sure weren’t many restaurants.
So we started making a list.
We made a list and checked it twice.
Then we drove around town.
Then I went to TripAdvisor and Yelp.
We now have 190 restaurants in Abilene. If there are multiple restaurants, we only counted it once. So Burger King, Grandy’s, and Chili’s are each only one time.
I definitely cannot eat at 14 of them.
There are many we have not yet eaten at. A total of 56 restaurants that we haven’t eaten at.
2 donut places
1 coffee house
19 Mexican food restaurants (where I usually am limited to the beans and the chips, but sometimes not even the beans or the chips)
