The restaurant is called the "Freight House". It's built in an old railroad building. I guess it's the place all the special people eat so I was a square peg in a round hole to start with. I had no idea if my Wrangler shorts and guide shirt would fit their dress code. I guess it did. We all sat down and I about had a heart attack when our waitress brought the menus. 6 deviled eggs---$12. I'm talking 6 1/2 eggs here, 3 whole eggs. Holy crap! No wonder Vicki and I had never been here before. Our grandson finished those eggs off in 6 bites!
I looked the menu over and felt guilty spending this much of our son-in-law'S $$. One dish caught my eye. KY Silver Carp--$21. There it was--my supper. My daughter and grandson had steak, I'm talking couldn't have been more than 4 ounces of meat, already sliced. Isn't that special. $46
When they brought my carp, I'll have to admit it was probably the prettiest supper dish I've ever had. It tasted as good as it looked. Vicki had an $18 hamburger. They cut their own fries so I guess it wasn't a bad deal.
The carp was great! The taste is very mild and the meat is snow white and very flaky. I've had it before and liked it then and now. I may try to get some for Crankfest. I may have to eat it all myself. I'm sure the KY guys won't let it go to waste.
It was a great time with family. I don't see myself being in a financial place where we will make the place a regular supper spot.
