Years ago, RP Tracks was my neighborhood bar and restaurant. We ate and drank there several times a week, and one night, some friends that weren’t regulars met me there. This was at least 20 — probably closer to 25 — years ago, but one of the women was a vegetarian, and the only thing she could eat was french fries.
