Lowery's didn't need to be revamped. It was perfect just the way it was.

I thought it was dirty with yucky food last time I was there.

Tappahannock favorite Lowery’s Seafood for sale

Lowery’s has been a restaurant staple in the tiny “rivah” side community since the 1930s.

From the show description, maybe they didn't actually sell it?

I thought it was dirty with yucky food last time I was there.

I thought it was a charming small town diner with friendly locals, pretty good food, and excellent bean soup.

Beat me to it. Though I might have thrown in an insult or two about her tastes

I'm waiting for Restaurant Impossible with my man Chef Robert Irvine.
He would snap Gordo in two

She's a foodie. I didn't think it was necessary.

Oh you're no fun. Besides, I've seen some of the places she likes,
I've had a peak at some of the kitchens and people in them. I don't care if I'm cooking for 2 or 200,
CLEAN, ORGANIZED and PROFESSIONAL. Even if it's the Scout Camp mess hall.

I agree. I've work kitchen bingo night at Church before.

My kitchen, my rules, it's not a democracy.
But if you are trying to cook a meal and get it out to a large crowd, there isn't any room for Q&A
I was always taught to keep the area clean, for both health and safety reasons.

I took over as the kitchen boss and told everyone else to do.

Used to love stopping by Lowreys on our way to Virginia Beach, many years ago. Havent been there in almost 30 years, I'm sure it could use a makeover.

It sounds like a diner my friends and I used to frequent when I was going to college in Vermont 40 or so years ago.
They had a sign over their menu board: Many have eaten here, few have died.
