If I could avoid that I would.  We used to have a Shoneys here that had a
wonderful breakfast buffet, but they had no businness at night because they
were located on a strip of road containing a Chili's, a couple of Japanese
restaurants, Copeland's and various fast food places.  The one thing wrong
with Shoneys is their coffee tasted like it was made a day or two before
with used coffee grounds.

Growing up in New Orleans, my mother cooked red beans and rice every
Monday, just like almost everyone else of that time.  If you wanted to add
salt, pepper or any other condiment, you did it to suit your taste.

 EV> Local or LOCO?  

Depends.  (-:

 EV> Pan Fried Oysters?

No.   Deep-fried.

 EV> I like Oyster Soup and Rolled Oysters.

I don't remember either, but it is possible I ate both at one time;
especially the oyster soup.  Not sure what rolled oysters are, but I doubt
they originated from here.

 EV> I order the Mild Chicken, I don't like spicy food.

 EV> My two favorite eating places are Mister Gatti's Pizza and Taco

 EV> Mister Gatti's Pizza has a Buffet, I told the owner my only

We had a pizza buffet place called CiCi's and the prices were cheap ($5)
for anything going down the serving line, but they went out of business
either due to poor management or because of the competition they had where
they were located.

 EV> Taco TIco has some different item from what Taco Bell serves. The
 EV> sauce at Taco Tico tastes better than Taco Bell has.

We used to have Taco Bell/KFC in the same building here, but KFC
disappeared very recently.  Probably because their chicken pieces kept
getting smaller and smaller.

 EV> At Taco Bell I more often order the 7-Layer Burrito and don't put

 EV> I will eat at either of those places depending on where I am. 

Where is that?

 EV> Taco Bell have many locations in this area, Taco Tico has one in
 EV> Louisville, KY, and I know of another in Lexington, KY.

 EV> P.S. I'm wondering if Ben Ritchey reads this echo.
 EV> I'd like to know if He eats at Popeye's very often.

LOL!  I wonder how they can back up that claim.

BTW, I'll probably put my BBS back up before the end of the year.

 EV> Thank You!

Anytime.
