Yesterday we were doing some final shopping for our trip, as well as our morning exercise of walking a mall, when we decided to have a late lunch. We stopped at Ted Turner's Grill which is located north of Dodge at about 132nd Street. You can see the restaurant from Dodge, and although it is a bit of a trick to get there, we persisted. We had tried one of his restaurants in Atlanta and liked the Bison Burger there.
Alex was our server and provided us with excellent service, suggesting the squash casserole as an alternative to French fries. So with a crisp side salad and Bison Burgers with differing additions, we very much enjoyed our meal. Later the manager came by to see if we enjoyed the meal, and then we visited with Alex as she cleaned the table and prepared our bill.
Alex works every night at a Japanese restaurant and during the day at Ted's Grill. In her spare time she takes nursing classes by computer and has two years to go to get her degree. Her folks either could not or would not pay any of her college expenses, and she does not want to have a huge debt after completing college so this is her solution. We, of course, encouraged her to keep on and not to give up her goal of achieving a college degree. What a lovely and hard-working young lady with her head well-connected. If only other people would be so hard working and have a great goal, maybe they would not be looking for a handout from either the government or parents. Go Alex! In addition, this is an excellent place to eat a meal, low in fat, and with great service.
