BBQ Town Drive Inn was the last eatery I visited. They had the usual food most drive-ins have, with a few exceptions on the menu. Instead of having what I usually order, I ordered their fried chicken plate. The lady at the counter said it would take 15 minutes. I was in no rush, so I said I could wait. Three other customers came after me, receiving their food before me.

I've been looking at YouTube videos on food. There are some excellent recipes on the internet for everyone to follow.

The next stop of eateries is Rainbow Drive-In. I've been to Rainbow Drive-In many times. Many items are on the menu, but my favorite is the boneless chicken with gravy.

After careful review, the pictures looked close to the Don Quijote store on Kaheka. Sure enough, the restaurant is in between many of the eateries surrounding the Don Quijote store. No one was in the restaurant when I went there at about 2:15 pm on a Saturday. I had probably just missed the lunch crowd. It was good for me because I didn't want to wait to get seated. My intent was to try their Ramen and write an article about my experience there.
