Ah, the 24 hr Greek family restaurants.  The bread basket with breadsticks and crackers.  If you're lucky a relish tray.  Huge menus.  Those are still around but not in the same numbers, and many are no longer 24/7.  Apparently gen Z and Millenials don't hang out there.

About the only times you see a relish tray anymore is a Wisconsin Supper Club.

We are losing a good one in Kenosha. 60 years. Done.

I generally don't go to chains because I like to support the local mom and pop places.

We had no money when I was a kid, like you. So when we did go out, if was to one of those local Greek-owned places with a book for a menu. And we kids thought that was the chit too. Sometimes I still do, as we have a couple of those in town. You can get today's dinner and tomorrow's lunch for $10. I think it costs $10 to have crap at Burger King now.

Yeah, I’m with ya on supporting the local places.  Had lunch at one today.  But we do chains a lot like if we’re out of town for travel softball or something.  Don’t know the town and don’t really want to take the time to research anything.  Hey, there’s Applebee’s.  Let’s go.

When I was a kid if we went to Shoney’s (not sure if they even have those in the northeast or midwest) it was like a big treat.

Yeah, we had Shoney's but they are gone. 

This is the time of year where is stays hot down here and the heat breaks in Ohio (usually).  It breaks here more mid-month.  Today was pretty nice, we had lunch outside in the shade, nice breeze, low RH, 91°F and 34% RH, I can deal with that.  We're headed out to dinner later and then tomorrow to Seattle.  I timed this one right, the Dawgs are playing two pastries in a row and then it gets real.

Vandy didn't look awful really.

@Cincydawg is the diner in Marietta still open? You know, the one by the big chicken? That place was one of those 40-page-menu diners... 

I have a weird soft spot for Olive Garden. It's not especially good compared to good Italian food, but it's rich and hearty and satisfying. And then the soup salad breadsticks combo may be a horrible meal both nutritionally and from a "foodie" perspective, but I'll eat my money's weight lol...

Lol.  Same here.
