MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Taking a nap now
I sure do appreciate Teddy writing that article. I was not expecting it and unfortunately did not get a chance to talk to him the other day when he was in the Smokehouse.
I will tell you though, I ate a Rib and Cheese on the Jalapeno Cheese Sourdough Bun today for lunch and it was very good.
Just to let you know, we sell more of the Jalapeno Cheese Sourdough sandwiches by a ratio of approximately 3 to 1 of anything else. Do yourself a favor and try it.
Thanks for all of your support.

Bigdog13 ... my wife and I have perfected the art of transporting Scatterloads from Ruston to Keller. Brought back 4 extras when we came back from Christmas.
Places I remember from 1977-ish - May 2000:
- Munchies
- Hood's Drive In - those old ladies in there made a killer open face burger with gravy and sauteed onions
- The OLD Johnny's across from Nethken
- Wong's - best flippin' eggrolls ever ... ok, pretty much best anything ever. Henry and Alice are the best.
- That hot dog place that was where Popeye's is now.
- The Blue Light - still awesome
- A little bar-b-q place near the south end of the old airport on Tennessee. This was a walk-up place owned by a black family. Don't remember too much aside from the location.
- The Hitch
- The ORIGINAL Dowling's ... those school desks, a Dr. Pepper, a ham and cheese, Fritos to scoop up the cheese, and Lance Choc-O-Lunch cookies for dessert.
Tech77, the restaurant at the corner of Trenton and California was Western Sizzlin' Steak House.
And, TulsaDawg, yes, I'm old like you as you can see from the 72 in my name, but I'm not a Ruston native, just always came to the "city" for shopping and doctor/dentist visits growing up and have lived here mostly since. I do remember the Old-Fashioned and the rest you and others mentsion but not sure about the Dairy Etta, though. And as I noted on a previous food thread, the open faced roast beef plate at Hood's was to die for. And I would love a Shipley donut again, although Daylight ones aren't so bad--and pie at the old P. O. Cafe. Man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. And when I lived in Pearce as a freshman, the first and only fast food place was Griff's. Don't remember prices but could probably get a whole combo for way less than a dollar. Can't believe it's still here, but I haven't been there in forever. I should check it out.
The Scatterload with Cheese is the best thing between bread, period (I add some Tabasco). It's like a hug from Jesus right in your mouth.

Jogged my memory, Larry's Barbeque, it was owned by Larry and Beverly ??????? can't remember their last name. Larry was the produce manager at the Dixie Dandy, Bev was a cashier. They ran the restaurant on their off time, it was kinda hard to catch them open. Larry made his own sauce, and it was among the best I have ever had.
Question mainly to the 3-4 of y'all who remember places from the 70's, although this could have been 80's: What was the name of the restaurant, seems like one of the first "real" restaurants we had, maybe it was a chain of some sort, that was on West California across from Griff's but west of the Old Fashioned? I think it has been a used book store since. I don't know what it is now since I never go that direction. Also there was some sort of fish fry place located either next to or just west of the restaurant I'm asking about. Anyone remember either of these?
Dwayne the name of the steak was western sizzlin.
