Salsalitas

Gin and Swanic agreed that, before hitting the hard road to Houston, they needed something to cure their hunger. Gin had dreams of a place that prepared dishes with tofu, hummus, and local organic greens. However, Pigeon Forge was not prepared to offer this type of fare. Instead, there were Shoneys, Denny's, Cracker Barrel, Waffle House, and Taco Bell as far as the eye could see, but the much anticipated Dolly's Natural Cooperative Market was nowhere to be found. Tension grew high as Gin began to yell "I'm so hungry! I feel faint!" Fortunately, they spotted Salsalita: A Mexican Cantina on the other side of the median. Veering wildly across three lanes of traffic and made a U-turn into the parking lot. Opening the door, Gin and Swanic entered the finest Mexican establishment they had ever seen. The food was so fresh and the service so outstanding that they were able to stand at the counter and watch the chefs prepare their meal using ready made ingredients and the most sanitary of cooking appliances. Gin's request for extra salsa and sour cream was met with some confusion, but upon her declaration of "I am really going to need it. I'll pay," the chefs readily complied. Upon finishing his meal, Swanic made known his probable illness resulting from their gourmet meal and headed outside to load the bike onto the car. Gin remained at the table to finish off the corn chips and all remaining condiments.Then, full of beans and cheese, they jumped into the car and headed back out onto the open road.
