The Southern Kitchen was a good one here in Dallas. Remember going a few times growing up to celebrate something special.

I saw there are a couple Bonsnzas left. Maybe in Virginia.
It was on YouTube. Still looked pretty solid.

Brown Derby was a favorite for our family.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Loved that place….went to the location on 75 and Yale. I think Clint Murchison Jr. owned it in those days.

What was the place that had the saloon girl on a swing? Wasn’t that Old San Francisco Steakhouse? And that makes me remember Trail Dust Steakhouse in Aubrey!

Bonanza
Little bit of Sweden
Still open but closed to me Panchos
Wyatt’s Cafeteria
If you’re a Grove Rat from the 50s-60s then you probably recall The Velmar, The Monterey House and Taco Inn.

I use to hit Dixie House at least once a week. Spaghetti Warehouse too. Which Dixie House and what year? I was the original manager of the first one on McKinney in 76ish. Then on to Dixie Lakewood when it opened after that. Wasn’t at either long cause I went into upper management after that.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR
