What Restaurants did you grow up around? I'm not talking super fancy and yes fast-food counts. What distinctive memories do you associate with them?
Mine?
Taco Via-(the lit up menu of the various taco plates displayed on the wall), WhiteCastle-On a paper plate with fries and Pepsi, Arthur Treachers(off Noland), Tippins(off Noland), Perkins(the free toy well), Country Deli(awesome local deli to Blue Springs heated sandwiches on Sourdough buns), Zarda BBQ and Dairy, FunHouse Pizza(of Course)(Dark. Video- Games,Electonic Riding Bull and 25-cent Taco night) Annes Sante Fe.
Keep in mind I never see these anymore living in Georgia. [Reply]

Ring a bell with anyone?
I knew they were in financial trouble when they slaughtered Babe the Blue Ox. [Reply]

I remember a place that had a Paul Bunyon outside. Don't remember what area in KC it was. But this would've been over 30 years ago. [Reply]

Are you sure it wasn't a chef and when you pushed the button it talked? [Reply]
I remember going to Bonanza Steakhouse as a kid. The building is now Nakato's Japanese Steakhouse. The kind where they prepare the food at your table. [Reply]

Bonanza had a great salad buffet.
There was also one across from Food for Less. [Reply]
When the Bonanza Steakhouse first opened, my sister and I thought it was being run by the Cartwright family. We were all excited, and when we went in, I saw a guy that I thought looked like Little Joe, and said so. My sister then got all excited about seeing Little Joe, and my parents had to set us straight. Upon being told, I was somewhat embarrassed. [Reply]
Harry T's at Truman Corners. They had all the Fairyland Park memorabilia in there. I think it used to be called Sveden House before it was Harry T's. There is an Osco Drug store sitting in that location now. [Reply]

I miss that place. One time I saw Dan Saleamua (sp?) and another CP with his daughter. :-) [Reply]
