Love eating at Monjunis but it never fails that I am way too full after eating to enjoy the Milky Way Cake. I think I may have to go and just get the cake sometime. It just sounds so good!Quote:

Funny after all these years I have never had the red sauce maybe back when I was in school but not for a long time.
I get the same thing everytime. Start with a house salad, then the muffaletta and then the cake.
Yep, the late 70's & early 80's had Ruston with the local eateries. Gonna have to check the Blue Light out sometime this year ( great food & SUPER sweet ladies running it!! ). I recall Stows & Fargo's both ( Stows for hard-core drinkers & Fargo's for disco!! :bomb: Griff's was a staple for us poor college jocks & we'd make a dent or 2 in some BBQ @ the Hitch ( think it's a furniture place now ) & also a small place downtown right by the RR crossing ( it was a green building which served 3 BBQ chopped beef sandwiches for .99!! :shocked2: ). For our sweet tooth we had Pete's Doughnuts. Pizza was either Pioneer or Johnny's.
I well recall driving to West Monroe to eat at McDonalds & now all the big name fast food places have invaded Ruston.:icon_razz:
Man, I'm getting both nostalgic & hungry!!! :D

Try the Tomatoe Shrimp Cheese Toast some time. You may not ever get the Muff again.Quote:

I remember all those places. That Green building by the railroad had great BBQ deals. I still preferred The Hitch, though.Quote:

Just my thing.
I live in Tyler, Texas now and talk about your chain food explosion. All moving toward my house in Bullard too. I drive right past them and head to Bruno's Pizza close to downtown or hit some other local establishments around the old part of town. I can go to all those look-a-likes anywhere. Driving in South Tyler is the same as any suburb of Dallas now - you wouldn't know the difference, if someone blindfolded you and let you out. I hope Ruston does not become that, although along I-20, it is already resembling it.
When are they going to complete the park between campus and downtown. I remember seeing those plans one time. That will help downtown a LOT. If some new (non-chain) places could open up downtown and there were bike and walking trails to and from, it would be very successful.
Champ - Ya know, if ya can get the two of us away from the Lady Techster forum :D, we actually see eye to eye on quite a few things!! When I'm out of town I prefer to eat someplace that I don't have back home as well. I'd forgotten about Dowlings - still out on the north service road of I-20?? Of course, my directions have probably faded like some of my memory BUT the taste buds don't die!! :laugh:

Dowlings has moved to Cooktown Rd just North ofthe interstate.
Well, actually, if you were in recruiting, you would see that we are closer on a LOT of things.Quote:
