Steaks In Logan Ohio Restaurant Lunch Visit
On their drive home from Columbus Sheriff Ernest Hesson and Deputy Toral Morrison stopped in Logan Ohio for lunch. The menu listed T bone steak and they ordered it, finding large portions that Morrison said tasted like Thanes used to taste. The visit contrasted with Point Pleasant conditions and noted ample food. They later traveled to Columbus via Jackson and Chillicothe, returning via Logan and Athens. The trip covered about 116 miles along two nearly equal routes with good highways and rocky stretches by the Ohio River. Morrison described the northern route as more scenery rich while locals favored the southern route for no clear reason.
