Catching Rolls at Lambert's Cafe

I don't suggest doing this at home, and, am not sure I'm going to do this again, but Monday, March 1st, we ate lunch at the Lambert's in Foley, Alabama. Last night, March 2nd, we ate at the original one in Sikeston, Missouri, after driving up from Mobile, Alabama.

We had to be "rolled" out this last time. Are we ever full!! If you leave a Lambert's (there are three of them, the other being south of Springfield, Missouri, on the way to Branson) hungry, it is your own fault.

The portions are HUGE to start with. Then there are those rolls which you have to catch if you want one "Hot Buns and Throwed Rolls" as the roll guy in Foley was saying. And, on top of that is the "Pass Arounds" where folks bring heaping pots and pans of black-eyed peas, macaroni and tomatoes, fried potatoes and onions, and fried okra and plop them on your plate.

Both days, we left with overflowing containers of leftovers. And, both times they had the gall to ask if we wanted dessert!

Called my Buddy Cajun back in Illinois both times. He was the first one to tell us about Lambert's.
