Crab Legs and the Ladies

Long Branch restaurant, in Fayetteville, Ga is owned by a good friend of ours. Every Monday night, he features all you can eat Crab Legs. Both of our nieces love crab legs. Hence, when the girls are with us on Monday night Long Branch is where we dine. The first serving comes with 4-5 sections of 5 legs. And the feast begins. I was adised to be aware of the splash zone.
Each additional serving came with 2-3 sets of legs. The girls did not want to give up their plates. Those plates were their counters. They accumulated 18 plates of pride at our table. My dinner selection was steak, fries and salad. No crab legs for me.
They were so proud of their over flowing bucket. This one did have to be replaced with a new one. Our waitress was so thankful. I think she envisioned cleaning up legs off the floor.
Does this look like one happy little girl or what? Their was still more to come.
When eating all you can eat Crab legs, all manners are left outside.
This one is on a mission. At this point in the evening they wanted to see how much they could eat. We were there for so long that I was receiving free Heineken.
When we were leaving the restaurant this is what the sign read! The girls saw it and cracked up. Boy can those two little girls eat.
