With Americans up in arms about the new security procedures of the TSA, one would expect that the industry most affected by these measures to speak out. But after clicking through page after page of Google search results, I couldn't find any airlines making statements against these travel-hindering moves. One could assume that the airlines appreciate the broader lines drawn in the sand, but the loud voice of protest by the pilots and flight attendants seems to trump that argument. This leads to an interesting question, though: Why would the airline industry be totally silent about something that would keep travelers from looking forward to heading to the airport?

I was having a quick bite to eat with friends at the Exotic Grill this week and noticed that they had created 12 new sandwiches (six burgers and six chicken). It was hard to choose, but there was one that started calling my name: it was named the Elmer Fudd. The Elmer Fudd is a breaded chicken breast topped with bacon, hash browns and pepper gravy all on an incredibly tasty bun. It was so good I had to offer a portion to my dinner guests and they too agreed that it was unlike any other chicken sandwich. Stop by the Exotic Grill and tell them semo.net sent you to try out their Elmer Fudd. You'll be glad you did.
