  1. :biggrin: Aloha no! This is like the most fun thread ever - for me anyway! You

    all are such great players! I just got back from a meal that hit notches unknown

    at Roy's in Hawaii Kai, the "flagship" of the empire. I am overfed, overwatered

    and thinking.....

    "....have you ever tried it - it's real crazy!" Potato chips dipped in champagne (sp!)"

    it's late for you all, 'early' for us HST after a 3 1/2 hour meal see you all

    in the AM - a hui hou :wink:

    sorry I missed the clue.....I thought at first you were describing a late night personal experience :biggrin:

    Yes, looking back at that post I did it would appear that could be the case!

    It wasn't that wild of a night for me!

  3. and I think No. 30 is The Apartment. Jack Lemmon strains his spaghetti through a tennis racquet. (Great movie,sad indictment of corporate ladderclimbing and throat cutting, quite prescient....some great lines....that's the way it crumbles, cookie-wise......

    I am slapping myself as I should have guessed this! You're right, it is

    the Apartment. Great movie, Jack Lemmon and Shirley McLaine were

    such a great team! That spaghetti scene was brilliant!

  4. this one is easy:

    cheetoes, fish sticks, orange soda & pancakes

    Ooh ! Ooh ! My favourite kind :smile:

    I thought it was cheese balls, but: Rain Man

    Fish sticks - "You want eight ?" (chop !) "there's eight"

    Maple syrup on the table before the pancakes come, and

    multiple cheese balls and orange soda mentions

    You're right! I got confused thinking about how i wish I had some cheetoes

    myself! Yes, it's Rain Man! Great job! A hui hou :smile:

  5. I think the restaurant attempted to and did in my opinion "Fix and over fix" the

    situation which is what we always did in the stores I ran. I would think their

    preferred dry cleaner was very good at stains of all types from their repeat

    business with said restaurant. I have a good friend who is GM of a very popular

    rest. here and she wears these incredibly expensive designer tops on the floor

    and has them dry cleaned and I am sure that where she gets it done has seen

    it all from her work related incidents. I agree that the patrons friends would not

    follow suit and stop dining there the patron sounds like some people I have known

    that no matter what something would happen to them wherever they were and

    whatever the outcome wasn't right. I think the place did a good job of handling

    the situation. Where is it? I'll go when I come to Illinois! I think they could

    handle anything! :biggrin: a hui hou!

  6. #11. Sabrina - Audrey Hepburn. "Too high, too low, an exaggeration, much too

    low, ahhh, Baron perfection, MUCH TOO LOW" the Baron explains that

    a woman happy in love she burns the souffle a woman unhappy in love

    forgets to turn on the oven.

    Another favorite is the olives scenes as they go on in the movie as the

    father drinks his ever present martini.

  7. Burger Chef Interesting topping combinations.

    Bond’s If you finished an awful awful you got another one free.

    Gruening's Ice cream Best French vanilla I have ever had.

    Roy Rodgers for the fried chicken and burger fixin' bar. Old people would build whole salads here.

    Bob's Big Boy a great place to eat on the road.

    Sizzler Steakhouse Hey I was a kid in the '70s and this is one of the first place I ate at.

    Beefsteak Charlie's All the free beer, wine or sangria with your diner. That lasted until the DUI laws changed.

    Bonanza Steakhouse Texas toast and salad bar, again a very 70's place. Before they started table service you waited in line for your food to be cooked.

    Howard Johnson's Fried clam strips!

    Ground Round Free peanuts or popcorn and marginal entertainment in a family friendly environment.

    The old Dunkin' Donuts the one where you could sit and order light little meals like soup, roll with butter, coffee and a donut. Food made on a mass basis where if you ordered soup it came from a steam tray and not Styrofoam single serving units; they would toast and butter items and not expect you to do the buttering.

    Denney's 24/7/365 I want someplace other than White Castle or Chinese take-out food.

    Quenched down with their HoJo Cola!

  8. Yes! we got one of those pizza stones for the grill that our friend Jeanne has who

    is the NS Big Wave tomato farmer and we're making fresh pizza tonight! Carrots

    are coming soon so be on the lookout, this week they were still not tall enough.

    Check out Growing Creations herbs and plants, gorgeous stuff! We had a party

    with some of the farmers from the market at KCC and it was a most magical

    event! The beets still are great too! I had some typos! sorry! Oh, it's not working

    for the keyboard! A hui hou :wink:

  9. 2. ".......and a microwave that browns!.......melted cheese, ummmmm I don't

    think I EVER tasted melted cheese before."

    Lost in America?

    YES :smile: Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant!

    Here's another......!

    ".....tonic water & clam juice, but THEY AIN'T COLD!!!!!!!"

    Congratulations petite tete de chou! Lost In America! A classic! What about from the

    same movie "Florida! I got Florida!!"

    A hui hou!

    The Out of Towners. One of the few movies with Ricardo Montalban's( :wub: ) brother.

    YES YES!!!!! And do you remember what he prefaced this with? It was priceless!

    We are enamourmed of you at this point! Higs and I are in your honor! That

    whole scene was priceless, so now we know the movie but remember....

    "Is it possible to get hot food in thirty minutes, no it's not possible.......'

    What about the cracker jack scene and the eating of the apple from the fruit

    basket compliments of the manager? Bravo! Petite tete de chou! a hui hou!

  10. 2. ".......and a microwave that browns!.......melted cheese, ummmmm I don't

  11. Naperville, Il where I grew up was the home of Cock Robin and I think (trying to

    remember) how many of these places there were in the area (Du Page and

    Kane county, maybe others). They made the ice cream there, a friend of mine

    was on the graveyard shift which allowed for him to make ice cream and get

    altered at the same time with no one else there....anyway they had little shops that

    served really rotten hamburgers and fries and most memorably in a deep freezer

    case cones of 3 different sherbets that were rock solid and scooped up in their

    square ice cream scoop. They had many flavors of ice cream and I remember

    when the batch of strawberry exploded all over an it was a river of pink. Now where

    it was is a beautiful park with a big water fountain named after the Fredehagen's who

    were some sort of founding family of the town.

  12. Aloha Kakahiaka Megan! I look forward to your blog! Your posts always are fun to read. As I

    sit here wearing my Uggs (violet), sweat pants and sweatshirt for it's cold here this morning

    your New York week will be great to share! I have heard so much about Dylan's Candybar

    I look forward to pictures. I don't eat candy myself (were it Dylan's Potatobar that would

    really get me) I have heard it's a beautiful place. Your week activities look like fun and

    I can't wait for the posts! A hui hou! :smile:

  13. I'm not too worried about your world plans but another place to try would be

    Y.Hata on Sand Island Rd. off Nimitz Hwy. You could take a bus from where

    the ship docks. Anyway it's a restaurant supply store with lots of great things

    including knives, coats, pants, pots, pans etc. etc. etc. I am sure you will

    have an interesting experience on the ship, you should write periodically

    about the ups and downs of it all. Good luck and a hui hou! :wink:

  14. I try to use a knife but it doesn't work so well for me. I have 3 peelers so usually at least one

    is clean. I must practice! I usually get flesh with the skin and it's sort of a waste. As I type a

    chameleon just snagged a bug from the orchid outside and I doubt he has such considerations! :laugh:

  15. Oh my, I remember going to both Mr. Steak and Ponderosa. Both had steak that now I

    probably would never consider eating, both had a wonderful soft "texas toast" that I ate

    tons of and mediocre baked potato. Mr. Steak had a good cheeseburger too.

    In Illinois there were Fred Harvey's in the oasis' above the tollway that we stopped at

    enroute to and from Milwaukee. They had these neat vending machines with all kinds

    of fun little trinkets and toys that I always had to have one of. Funny, I can't recall

    what I ate there though. Probably orange soda with whatever it was. :smile:

    I too liked Big Boy, we'd drive to Downer's Grove and sit in the car and eat on Ogden

    Avenue, the paper around the namesake sandwich getting all mushy from the famous

    sauce. Now that I would eat again! I liked the Big Boy hairdo on the statue! :biggrin:

  16. Dog n Suds drive in

    Fabulous root beer, onion rings and a burger called the Texas burger that if I tried to eat now I'd probably have a heart attack!

    Geez, that was the first one that popped into my mind when I read the first post! Yes,

    Dog n Suds! Also similar but not as fun, A&W Root Beer stand. I was thinking too that

    the Magic Pan for crepes was quite fun in it's day.
