The bowl game was way too early on New Year's Day...11am to be exact. Even though work didn't pay for us to stay in Dallas the night of the game, I had already planned to stay because there was absolutely no need to rush back. And besides, that day was more than long enough. After a long night ringing in the new year, having to be at the stadium at 8, a freezing cold game, and drinks and a meal afterwards with Bob, his parents, Joni & Toni, I was exhausted and went to sleep early that evening.
So my parents and I drove back to Stillwater the next day. Even with that extra night of sleep, I was still exhausted on the drive home and it was all I could do to get home and take a nap. Unfortunately, I didn't have long to sleep because we had a home women's basketball game that night. So I took a quick power nap, showered to revive myself, and off we went to Gallagher. We didn't have time to eat dinner before I had to be at work, so by the time the game ended we were starving. So off to Louie's we went.
Louie's wasn't very crowded when we arrived. I don't like sitting near the door in the winter because you get a chill every time the door opens. There were a couple of empty tables towards the back, and I soon found out why...there was a table of very loud, very drunk people near the back. Yes, I know I've been "that table" before, but when that happens we're in a loud crowded bar...not on a quiet evening when all the other patrons are just trying to enjoy a meal and/or a drink.
The Louie's menu has gotten really fancy recently. They've changed the look of the menu, and also added a few new dishes. I have to admit I'm very sad they took the salmon off the menu, because that was one of my favorites. But that's okay, because there's still a lot of other menu items that I really enjoy. Their new Hawaiian Chicken sandwich caught my eye
