Well, as you know Bob, I grew up in Red American and I have to say that I think Mr Brooks may just have picked the wrong county. I mean he was east of the Mississipi and/or north of the Mason-Dixon line. As it happens Red Lobster is one of the best restaurants in the town where my parents live and is my mother's choice for where to go for dinner on her birthday every year. Of course, an hour up the road in Tulsa you'll get much more sophisticated food, but Tulsa has a lot more money and sophistication is, in fact, one thing money can buy. It may have been overstated but some of the descriptions Mr Brooks gave sure sounded familiar as hell to me. And I do mean hell.
