In 1979 when I was dating my wife our date to Steak & Ale was the most expensive meal we had ever eaten at that time! It was first class fare for middle class folks at the time.
I saw one in Memphis last week when I was there on business. I didn't know any were still around.
We have them here in Houston...and it is still first class fare for folk like me.

...and in 1979 I was three years old. Just thought I would add that to make you feel old.

Personally, if I were in the restaurant business, I would only build near established Pentecostal churches.
From a former restaurant manager,the waves are early morning service catholics and independent mega churches, then Baptists started coming in at 11:30 until, then we got hit by all the others, pentecostals etc. Then we got the late afternoon wave of AME Zion and other Black baptist churches at about 4:30 - 6:00. I served 1100 people on Sundays. Mothers day 1500-2000.

My age has really hit me hard the last four years or so. I used to never feel old bu now it seems that I am constantly suffering from one thing or another at any given time. Arghhhh.....

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Wow, you Brothers and Sisters are going to miss the worst greasey food that money can buy?
Just think all you will be missing is people you don't know sneezing over the food you eat as the prepare it, their hair dropping into the chicken batter, unwashed hands (forgetting to put their latex gloves on) touch everything you eat.
The more gas prices go up the more the restaurants lose business. Things are getting a little tight here inTexas.
***I will have to say that so many of our people, young people go to restaurants in large groups and do not sit down, wander from table to table, leave messes, and are poor tippers - this is why we are not well received in many restaurants.***
