Rafferty's Restaurant and Bar in Lexington
Not on top of any kind of hill, Rafferty's Restaurant is quiet and roomy in the middle of the day. Just before the rest of anyone comes in for their dinner time dinners. No idea what the theme or mood of the eat hole is all about if there is one.
Supreme nacho appetiser - tower of crisp tortilla chips swamped in refried beans, meaty chilli, sausage bits, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, lettuce shavings, tomato chunks, sour cream and jalapeno peppers - kills the rest of the stomach from mashing down anything else.
Tasty stomach blocker
Easy, super easy to pick up and run from chip to loaded chip down the gullet. One after the other and it's the small simple things that leaves wanting to better pace or skip altogether next time.
Means nothing when the appetite has to face against the oncoming make up of dead cow on bread buns and slices of potato in an array of fries. On this day and at this hour, a half pound BBQ burger. Cheese and onions to boot with a good sort of fries on the side.
1/2 pound Backyard BBQ burger
Nestles in the hand comfortably to a bulge. Then the mouth opens wide to start the chewing inside. Juicy smell and tinge of slight char does well to work up the mawing jaw.
Defeat comes off the nachos where the pace on the burger is now slow, deliberate and complete. Shame is hanging the head where parts of a plate, case being the tortilla chips, stands defiant with few to one quarter of its ranks left to spar. Two at the attack undone in the end.
