They had really good clam strips. Like, for a chain restaurant in a landlocked state.

Howard Johnson's used to serve up a grilled hot dog in one of those flat sided, lobster roll type buns. I used to love those when I was a kid

I get some brats from costco that are pretty drat good, they come in this handy two-pack that's taped together so you can freeze half or all of it pretty easily.

I really hate that so many alleys turned to blacklights/insanely loud music. I have to wonder how effective that actually is for drumming up business.

zedprime posted:That's certainly what it's turned into now (in extremely obvious dog whistle ways like "no white tank tops" instead of anything so complicated as a dinner jacket) but I'm pretty sure they just had a sign out front saying "no n*" in the time period I'm thinking of. In the south, for sure. But in the other states where it wasn't "polite" to put racial slurs on the windows they probably used this "dress code" poo poo to tell black people their lapels were a quarter of an inch too big or some dumb bullshit.

I recall around that time most alleys were not doing well. You had league nights once or twice a week but the weekends were dead. Having "rock and roll bowling" and the party packages saved them. Lebowski Fest in Louisville was all kids of magic.

For some reason i think Tillamook butter is eastern shaped, despite being as close to the west coast as you can be before sliding into the pacific

Also I'm pretty sure all those butters are available at my grocery store, so it seems weird to pick your butter dish based on regionality.

I lived on the west coast for maybe 6-7 years and I don't remember seeing butter shaped like that. I also didn't buy butter though. That's weird though because 100% of recipes mean the regular stick when they say a pat of butter. Any picture you google of butter without the west coast qualifier will probably be the normal stick. They also have measurements right on the packaging so you can cut the pieces without measuring.

That is 100%the reason for their current existence, the only place you’ll generally find them actively enforced is in certain neighborhoods that are trying to keep Black people out, so a lot of Washington DC, Baltimore, Michigan, and shitholes like Idaho and Kansas. E: at least in terms of modern restaurants. Those sorts of towns are where that sort of thing is (selectively) enforced
