Hi Dave,
DD> O'Charleys is struggling. They're down to 58 store (from 600+) and
DD> have closed their commissary in Nashville, TN in favour of Performance
DD> Food Group supplying their stores.
RH> Don't know what commissary is supplying Cracker Barrel but Steve no
RH> longer orders their livers and gizzards. They used to be fresh cooked;
RH> now they're frozen and cooked from that stage so they're rock hard.
DD> All I ever do at C-B is breakfast. Usually the "Mama's Pancake
DD> Breakfast"
They still let RVs/campers stay for free, some have separate lots for
them. We usually buy supper if we stay, occaisionally breakfast.
DD> 8<----- SNIP ----->8
RH> So hopefully those with good taste will patronise the cafes and spread
RH> the word among co-workers. There will always be some die hard fast food
RH> devotees in the crowd tho, keeping those places going.
DD> and America's oldest (and first) drive-thru called Maid Rite.

DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
DD> Title: Maid Rite Hamburgers
DD> Categories: Five, Beef, Poultry, Sandwiches
DD> Yield: 4 Servings
RH> A couple of years ago we took I-80 from Pennsylvania, westward. Stopped
RH> to visit West Amana for a bit, picked up a cook book. Browsing it, I
RH> saw a recipe for Maid Rite burgers; I'll have to check the cook book to
RH> see how well it matches this one.
DD> It's a different Maid-Rite - ours pre-dates the Iowa based chain. The
DD> Iowa chain opened a store here and the local Maod Rite owner sued them
DD> for infringement. And won his case.
OK, good that the local guy had the guts to sue; so many people would
have capitualted.
DD> That being said, I'm not a big fan of loose-meat burgers. But, their
DD> "home-made" root beer is most excellent. Better than my attempt.
We used to do that occaisionally when I was growing up. Last time I
remember it being made was in 1967; the summer my mom was first in
summer school for her MSLS.
