I was all ready to fire up the grill and cook myself a nice, big T-Bone for dinner when, for the third night in a row, the Lansing area got pounded with heavy storms. As I’ve mentioned in this blog before, I’m a former news photographer, so my girlfriend and I grabbed a camera and went storm and damage chasing. Unfortunately for my T-Bone, the storm came during dinner time, so we needed a back-up plan. We were on our way home, tired and wet when we remembered the KFC on the corner of Cedar and Pennsylvania.

The cook did take a little extra effort and dump the fries that were sitting under the warming light back into the fryer, so the fries were warm and crispy.
