a very long time ago
we went to ChuckWagon restaurant
near by . a single operation I think , late '50's
is was an all-you-can-eat sort of place
unique at that time
The food was top notch stuff .
they had prime ribs ( real Prime those days ) every day
then the second main dish varied : roast turkey , bake Ham etc.
they had huge partitioned plates , you pick one up , and when though the
service line and staff added what you wanted to the plate
at the end was a carving station , for the two featured meats.
the plates had brands as decoration on them , and it was a Chuck Wagon theme.
it had table cloths . My father always had Prime Rib , end cut(s)
and they took his plate back and returned w the bones in a foil lined bag,
frequently there were added bones in that bag, if requested
Cats and a Heintz 57 dog ( Earthquake, a rescue ) had the time of their lives for a few days.
the restaurant lasted quite a few years . I wish I had gotten a plate or two
for Posterity .
I had Milk , and they brought the glass to the table ! , along with refills
we went there for our birthdays. I went for the Turkey
my sister, the Baked Ham.
