Old Restaurant thread

[joepole]

The "Chinese food rat story" refers to one night when the cops answered an alarm call at a Chinese restaurant (Taste of China, maybe?) and found the buffet food was still sitting out at night and "rats the size of housecats" were munching away on it.

I miss Cypress Inn and the place that used to be across the street from Schumpert that had really good Eggs Benedict.

I also spent many hours of my youth spinning on the counter stools at The Tic-Tock Grill (now Schumpert on line) despite the protests from my parents. Weismans (now The Margarita Cafe, formerly Tacomania) always had the best fried chicken and Theo's (downtown across from the library) has the best cheeseburger po-boys.
