minervadoe Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I did used to love that genuine A&W Root Beer. I think I used to get their Jr. hamburger for a while and maybe upgraded to a bacon burger (or something like that) over the years. They tried making a burrito for a while, and it was the only thing they had that was not very good (although that was what I ordered for several years until I got one that was not completely thawed one time). In the S.F. Bay Area, we had a chain called Linda's and the Parisian Burger was their signature piece. Linda's is gone, but I believe that you can still get a Parisian Burger at Armadillo Willies and Pezella's. http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2009/03/parisian-burgers-armadillo-willys-pezzellas-mountain-view-california.html Here is the Parisian Burger recipe. Unfortunately, unless you're cooking for the corporate BBQ, you're going to have to do the math to downsize it to a family sized proportion. http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/mplindasparisian.htm http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m0720F07.htm#2 Here is the downsized version: http://www.food.com/recipe/mountain-view-lindas-parisian-burger-sauce-376430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted September 12, 2017 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2017 Do The Pig Stand restaurants still exist in San Antonio? The locations were each numbered. I think the one I used to go to was Number 9. Good greasy spoon diner food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pig Stand chain had 130 restaurants during its heyday, back in the 1930s. The last Pig Stand was forced to close a decade or so ago, but in some sort of court decision one of the locations was allowed to open back up. It's an interesting story. I'll post a link to their About Us page below. Pig Stand restaurants used to be a fixture in Texas.

Administrators Eric Posted September 12, 2017 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2017 I miss Rally's Drive-In burgers. Back in the nineties, it seemed like there was a Rally's, or one of the clones, stuck on every corner in town. There was no inside dining. Just the drive-through lane down each side of the tiny little shack of a building. They had some damned fine burgers. They must still be in business somewhere, but they don't seem to be in Texas any more, or at least their store locator won't show me a Texas location. I miss those burgers.

For a long while, we lived on the very edge of the new suburbs. My best friend was a farmer-kid, from over the hill. Once a year, before school started, his Mom would get dressed up, with her hat and gloves and thick coat with pearly brooch, and the whole family would go dahntahn for the annual shopping. Woolworth's was the main money-spending place. My buddy decided to buy a hamster. It came in a 6"x6" metal cage. Woolworth's had a huuuuge lunch counter. The counter had a second shelf, underneath, so the ladies stash their hats and purses on. We got the hamster out of the bag, and were feeding him soup and sandwiches, in his cage under the counter. We liked him already. So... we're eating our grilled cheeses, and then it started... The hamster got loose and took off down this shelf, that was, like, a city-block long, while packed shoulder-to-shoulder with women shoppers. Chaos. Me'n Tim pretty much instantly knew what the deal was. And we knew the hamster's progress from whom was jumping up and screaming at that particular second. All of the older brothers loved it. The Mom hated the hampster, and us, forever, I think. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally's are still here in Northern Ohio. I very seldom eat there. Not that I don't like it - but I've gotten to the age where I have to be more careful about what I eat.

They had a great happy hour and we'd time it to arrive around 6 when the lady office workers would have a good buzz on by then and we'd buy them a drink then do the poor college student routine and half the time they bought us drinks and dinner, and half of those would take us home for dessert. I had a beer mug there as part of there club. It had a bicycle bell on it to ring for my next. Best all you can eat wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
