Eva's Pancake House & Restaurant is a mini-chain, with 3 locations. We happened upon the one in Pendleton, IN on SR 67 just down the road from the prison while on the way to visit The Little Woman's brother in Delphos, OH (You may recall her aversion to Interstate Highways and my driving on them), and at the time I didn't know there are also locations in Anderson and Muncie. From the outside I wasn't expecting much. It is just a tidy little brick building painted pale yellow, and the decor inside is kind of 80's vintage paneling and booths (think Jerry's, if you remember them). TLW has embraced my penchant for adventure eating, but I think even she was having her doubts about the place.
Ah, but when the food arrived our opinions instantly changed: Her tenderloin sammich was huge, thick, thickly breaded and very well seasoned. In short, I was envious even though she shared some of it with me. I ordered the lunch special, an Italian Steak Sandwich with chicken noodle soup for (I think) $6.79. Since I'm sorta doing the low-carb thing, I asked for it without bread (but of course I didn't turn down the fries TLW offered me, for shame!) and I added a side salad. It turned out to be cheese steak smothered in melted mozzarella and seasoned with some kind of seasoning that gave it a delightful Italian flavor.
In sum, I think we've found a new rest stop on the way to Dave's house. Maybe next time we'll invite one of those nice young hitch hikers in tan or orange jump suits to come eat with us... or not. I don't think we could fit on of their rakes in the car with us.
