Please don't ask your server what's really in the **** on a shingle.
My parents got married during WWII at Fort Moultrie in South Carolina. I'm betting wages were slim because they used to pitch in to buy groceries with other service folks near the end of the month to feed everyone. I actually remember my mother making SOS and serving it over great home-made biscuits. I don't remember what else was served, but this was happening during the 50's and 60's and my mother made all of our meals. I still can't get my husband to try it, it's actually pretty good (ok, it's not beef tenderloin) and we liked it. If my Dad liked it, she must have done a great job....loved my Dad but he could be a pain in the ass when it came to food.

My mother canned beets that were so good I can taste them still.
I only remember canned pickled beets, did your mother serve them pickled? I am looking for a way to put more veggies into our diets.
Ruby Tuesday
What a wonderful place to eat. Everything is bright, rosy, and sparkly. It's a much better restaurant than Emery Wednesday. That place just doesn't have the same sparkle, and the waiters are abrasive.
The Captain's
Cap Kangaroo and Mr Greenjeans cook up moose steaks and bun rabbit hassenpfeffer.
Cathedral Chicken
We're just like that church chicken place, only bigger and grander.
IHOW
We make waffles. Aren't they prettier than pancakes? And they're designed to hold gallons of syrup.
The Bad Seed
Salad bar. All the cilantro and kale you can eat.
Burger King Kong
When we say whopper, we mean it.
Hole in the Wall Coffee Palace
Drink the tepid coffee in two slurps, pay, and get out.
White Castle
Eight is often enough.
"L"-way* Sandwiches in Chicago
Who wants to get a stuffy underground sandwich in the subway. Get your sandwiches high in the fresh air while waiting for the train.
*Fictional sandwich shop, so don't go to Chicago expecting a sandwich on the "L" because they're aren't any.
Boobies
Not to be confused with Hooters. Eat Drink and Be Merry.
Red Robin Natural Foods Restaurant
Tired of paying high, inflated prices for ground beef on a bun. Try our nutritious, secret ingredient for an Earthy taste.
Alley Oop's Brontosaurus Barbecue
Beaten tender brontosaurus steaks, chops, plus liver and menudo
Whiffle House of Confections
We serve only the lightest and airiest of evanescent confections. Try our vaporous donut holes, our meringue so light it evaporates before you eat it, and our choux pastry without the gravity and encumbrance of the pastry.
Our food is so light and airy, you'll wonder if it exists. In fact, it doesn't exit, but it's the concept and the experience that counts, and you'll happily pay for that.
Sheesh Kabob Eatery
Weenies cooked on a stick. Dipped in mustard.
John Cage's 4'33"* Gold Piano Bar
Silence is golden, and so is this piano bar based on the Cage piano work. All right, it's just a bar with a piano that nobody plays.
*John Cage's 4'33" is a work where the pianist sits at the piano silently for 4 minutes and 33 seconds.
Moe's Hotdog Stand
Kraut tastes two weeks old? No problem. Douse it with mustard.
