Restaurant memories .

Anyone remember a very small burger place across from mcguinness high school on the west side of western? I think it was called tommys and had great little hamburgers that were like 3 for a dollar. This was around 1980 or so i also recall they had a small picnic table outside to sit at.

Wasn't there a Tommy's just east of Western on Britton?

I don't. But I remember the one in Britton.

[gen70]

Didn't know there was a A-1 cafe in Britton and I should have posted E. of Ann Arbor.

Would it have been where Ann's is now? Larry's was just east of
Ann Arbor. Which side of the street was it? What decade are
you talking about?

[gen70]

It was W. of Ann's on the S. side. It was there in the 60's and was just a plate lunch special kinda place.

I remember when I was still in grade school in the early 60's we lived over in Weatherford but on special occassions we would come to OKC to shop, mainly for school clothes.

We would always stop in at Shipmans. Mainly for their biscuits...........

I could and would eat an entire pan of them with the best grape jelly.........

I'm jones for some right now...............

Anyone remember "Arry's Fish and Chips? It was somewhere between NW 30th & NW 36 on the east side of N Pennsylvania. This would have been 1971-72. Also in that same neighborhood was a little Italian place, can't remember the name though. It was the first place I ever had canneloni.

The Italian place was Tony's Italian Specialties - where Rococo is now.

The Italian restaurant was Tony's Italian Specialties. It was
at NW 28th and N. Penn. Great food and the best juke box in
town. Tony closed about 6 or 7 years ago. A new Italian
Restaurant moved in and is very upscale. I haven't eaten
there but have gigged there.

I don't remember the fish and chips place.

Anybody know a place that serves fried mush?

You need to go east of here...and below the Mason-Dixon Line...but--bring your own syrup, they put other stuff on it...

Also--it is not the hardest stuff to make...just have to know the frying technique...

Molasses?

[jmarkross]

Molasses?

I have seen people put salt on it...yikes. Griffin's syrup works for me. Molasses never appealed to me...useful in cooking but unpleasant tasting straight up...

I love molasses although only in rather small quantities and infrequently.

Am I confused or was there once a restaurant called 'Heritage House' around NW Expressway and May?

Molasses is a funny thing...if you acquired the taste as a kid...it is good to you. We seldom had any at home when I was a kid and it was no match for other various types of syrup. But--I do know many who use it often. Myself...a really good maple syrup--one that is not too thin is best, but impossible to find. Only found it in New England, when I lived for a while in New Hampshire...it was "boiled down" to make it much thicker. My grandmother made fried "mush"...I remember the big block of it she sliced. I suspect she fried it in lard in those times (1950's) and as you probably know...most chefs consider that the Cadillac of Oils for frying...despite the health dangers...

It was located where N.W. Expressway intersects with N.W. 63rd.
Heritage House was a buffet.

Heritage House was in the same building as what is now Hometown Buffet
