I have a drive in a few blocks away from me that everyone loves (including me). They serve cheap burgers and stuff. My go to is 2 double cheeseburgers and jalapeno poppers. They have cheese curds, homemade root beer, broasted chicken, etc. They're closed during the cold months so it's always a big deal when they open up for the year. It's almost always packed. I had some pics myself but can't find them.

I want some of those little hot dogs with meat sauce and onion so goddamn badly. Mustard too. Start at 10 and keep ordering more until I can't get up.

I could make them myself but it's just not the same.

aah, the after church meal. i'm not religious these days but i always looked forward to that as a kid. our spot was this proto-Cracker Barrel place called Po' Folks. southern food. it closed down a bajillion years ago but i am shocked to learn that there are still locations in operation. i remember really liking the biscuits.






If I saw a menu with that combination of Hobo font and lovely writing, I'd just get up and leave.

ed: "In the 1980s, Burt's (Reynolds, the movie star) business manager convinced him to invest in a chain of family-style country restaurants called "Po' Folks". It actually wasn't a terrible idea on paper. The chain was doing well financially and had the backing of what seemed to be a strong parent company. So Burt and a partner, who ran a country music label in Nashville, bought a few franchises. Ok, maybe not a few. They bought 30.

As it turned out, Burt and his partner were sold somewhat of a lemon. The parent company was a disaster and customers hated the food. To make matters worse, Burt and his partner were absentee owners. Burt had his film career and the partner was busy making music back in Nashville. They just weren't around to run the machine so everything suffered.

They hired a consultant to help get them out of the business, but somehow this "expert" actually convinced the two to invest in ANOTHER (different) chain of restaurants. Burt would later concede that this move took what could have been a $5-6 million write-off, and turned it into a $20-30 million loss for both men. To make matters especially bad, Burt had guaranteed the restaurant leases personally, as opposed to protecting himself with an LLC. So every month he bled money. It was bad.

I went to this place called Curly's Chicken House in Elmira NY, where I'd gone to visit Mark Twain's grave. Depressing town, depressing restaurant. I got the Special not knowing what is was and it turned out to be this lake of yellow chicken goo over a piece of white bread. Not bad. Maybe it wasn't white bread I'm not sure. This was half a decade ago.

I bet there's lots of good pictures of that place on the internet.

It means he was (probably drunkenly and half-mistakenly) told that if he tried to get into a motorcycle gang in that area that this person (and others) would beat him half to death or further.

The fact that he was told this while randomly having a piss in a bar means that the dude who said it was probably lit as gently caress and just bullshitting OR thought he was someone else who'd been going around trying to get patched in and they didn't want them to, or a blurry mix of both.

You said it better than I could, I think the guy was tweaking hard and mistook me for someone else. The silly to me part is I have multiple family members and former coworkers 3 piece patched into several MC's, in fact when I jokingly relayed the story to one of them they got really agitated about it, and asked about what club/colors the guy was running and for a description. I was 5 beers in when the urinal convo happened so I didn't really take notice, so that was kinda a dead end. When my aunt died suddenly a few years ago, there were more cuts at the funeral than there were formal mourning clothes.

Koots is the kinda bar where if you take of your underclothes in a small sub-bar, you get a free (super gross) drink and you get them stapled to the wall or the ceiling. Funny part was that weird little nook used to have the cleanest bathroom in the (sprawling firetrap) building.

E: That's at least 40 years of underclothes.

Koots is the only bar I've ever been kicked out of. That was a fun night.

Getting 86'ed from Koots for (falling asleep, annoying a waitress, annoying an amusing bouncer in the wrong way, etc) "accidently" is like a right of passage up in the biggest 49th-state city. Getting 86'ed from the the Buckaroo takes a lot harder gumption. This will involve you getting thrown ~15ft out the door, your pants will still be intact, but your belt might not.

If the entirety of the Buckaroo hates you they'll help throw you the distance.

"We serve aboot the best poutine this side of Montreal EH"?

https://www.mollydookerscafe.com/about-us

One half of the owners claim to be Canadian, and that they both lived in Canada for 8 years before moving to Australia and opening their restaurant. I need to visit, looks like it's aboot 8 and a half hours away, eh.

This thread is clearly for Americana. Maybe we need an offshoot for other country-ana. For Australiana and Canadiana I should be able to dig up a few examples.

I saw a Perkin's restaurant sign in a few pictures. Years ago I drove from Ontario down to Florida. On the way back we stayed at a hotel in Hershey, PA that had a Perkin's next door. At the front till they had a display case full of pies, I love that you can still (I assume) get a simple slice of pie of your choice with a scoop of ice cream and a coffee and sit at the counter. Classic. I wish I had a photo.

On the first night going south we stayed at some motel in Dayton, OH. In the morning as we were packing up to head out, a young man, clearly drunk, told us how he'd signed up for the army and was going to basic training in about half an hour, waiting in that parking lot for the local recruiter to pick him up. He seemed to have mixed feelings about his life choices. Also, we noticed that most of the people we met in southern OH had strong southern accents, as stereotypically southern as anything we heard in Georgia.
