When in Dalton, GA you must make an effort to Pollo Allegre. We found this place on accident and what a great accident to have. We were looking for mexican food and just looked on our phone and chose this place and drove there. If you look at the pic you can see a screened in building on the left. As we approached the steps to the restaurant all we could smell was BBQ'd meat...yum! We walked in and sat down, no menu. Most of the people inside were hispanic...always a good sign that the food is good at a mexican food place. The waitress walks up to our table and says, "half or a whole?" Both Jeff and I looked at each other and weren't quite sure what she meant. So I explained that we had never been there before. This restaurant serves chicken...half or a whole, brought to your table directly off of the grill. We opted for the whole chicken. It was served with a side of refried beans and rice as well as homemade corn or flour tortillas. There was a fresh salsa bar with at least 6 different kinds of concoctions...we of course tried each one. I'm telling you what, this was the best grilled chicken I have ever had. No BBQ sauce or no spice overpowering the meat, just yummy grilled chicken. We walked out of there for $20 with one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Now when we go to Dalton, we have to get there before 8 pm....otherwise, no chicken!
When passing through AZ we had a chance to stop and our friends Devon and Rhonda. Devon went through the 10-day training program with us at Watkins as a solo driver, but we had the chance to meet his wife as well down in Santa Fe Springs. It was nice to catch up with them and have a meal and great conversation. Devon used to have his own pool cleaning business in LA, which he was very successful at, but decided he wanted to learn how to drive a truck. Rhonda will be on the road with him soon, once they get their youngest (14) raised and on his own.
Okay, so this isn't a meal, but this is the best thing about going to Spokane, WA that I have found so far! This is like a big hostess cupcake, filled with the white cream and all, but it is a Krispy Kreme....cannot recommend this one enough. I haven't ever seen this one in Denver, but if you can find it, buy one...YUMMY.
