Sha wanted me to meet a friend who is exploring role-of-women issues, and since that happens to be one of my passions, it was a natch. Only problem was, I set up the appointment more than a month ago, delaying till I had my dissertation finished. Or so I thought. Oops.

We met at Oddfellows. I couldn’t find it at first because I remembered the name as Goodfellows. So that was tough on the confused GPS, which also missed a major turn because it’s outdated. Note to self: Update the GPS if you dislike getting lost. Once I got that little name detail corrected, I found Oddfellows without any trouble, though the noon traffic in Dallas was a bear.

The place is known for brunch. I had the grilled chicken club sandwich, which came with hardboiled egg, bacon, tomato and avocado inside. Oh. My. Goodness. Sha ordered buffalo mac and cheese, which she liked a lot, but I think I said, “mm-m-m” over my lunch way more than she did. I wish I could remember what her friend had, because she said she orders it every time.

Prices were reasonable and the wait for food was short. Also the wait staff was fun and friendly. If you live near Dallas, check it out.
