Wow!  I surely took a trip down Memory Lane today, and I took my son with me!  You see, a *new* restaurant opened up here in town.  It’s not new to some, but it’s new to this area of the country.  It’s a restaurant I grew up with *down home*, except it was also a drive-in down there.  What’s the name of it?  Why, Steak ‘n Shake, of course! 

 

Yes, I enjoyed a Steakburger (with cheese) platter today.  Oh, my, the shoestring fries and baked beans (served in their own little bean pot) were as yummy as I remembered, and the steakburger was absolutely delicious!  My son had the *gourmet* steakburger with portabello mushrooms and fancy cheese, but I had my old favorite.  When he saw the grease on his plate afterward, he made a comment about feeling his arteries clogging just seeing it, but that’s okay.  I explained to him that every once in a blue moon it won’t hurt to have a good old-fashioned hamburger!  (I guess after seeing his Mama have 3 heart attacks, he’s decided to take good care of his health!).  Anyhow, we had a wonderful dinner, and my trip down Memory Lane, with its wonderful food, black and white squares decor, and smiling waitresses was quite enjoyable.  I hope to visit there again during the upcoming Christmas season.  And, since it’s up close to the mall, I’ll have a good reason!  After all, I’ll be up there anyway, picking up the bargains at Joanne’s Fabrics!
