THE CLERK

This can’t be the right place, Alex.”

“Well, it’s the address the hotel clerk gave me and our GPS brought us right here.”

Alex and Gwen sat in their car wondering how the little yellow shack by the water could possibly be “the best fish and chips place in all of Liverpool”.

Exiting the car, they were struck by the tantalizing aroma of frying food. Grabbing each other’s hands, they ran to the front of the shack. The smell of fish and chips was mouthwatering and there were at least fifty people in line.

Damn if that clerk wasn’t right!

    1. The photo made me think of places I’ve seen on the way out to our vacation spot on the shore. There are some great little places the tourists don’t know about and the food is always fantastic.
      I think I made everyone’s mouth water for fish and chips! LOL!!
      Thanks for your comments, Isadora.

  1. There’s a place down at Three Bridges station called Snoopy’s that has the best burgers this side of the equator. It’s a little pop-up trailer that sits amongst the taxi stand. There’s nothing like the smell of grease in the morning. Happily there’s no “Ride of the Valkyries“ playing in the background.

      1. The odds seem quite good… I’ve just done a quick internet search, and there are a few in NYC. If they’re close to you, however, that’s another thing entirely. Seek, however, and ye shall find! 🤣
