I mentioned Beasley's. He originally was located in what is now Irma's near 63rd and N Western. He had gunny sacks for curtains but was a stickler for cleanliness. I don't think he ever received a warning from the health department. The gunny sacks fit into the decor which was chuck wagon/farm house style. He closed that one to work closer to home and he opened a store in Pink, Ok. Then he closed that one and opened another one at 63rd near Broadway in what is now The Shack Seafood and Oyster Bar. Not long after opening that store, he got cancer and retired. I think he died about six months later. He had an extra extra hot sauce that you had to ask for and it was really warm. I ate one beef sandwich with that and chased it with a second sandwich with just hot sauce. Yes, I remember Underwood's. It was OK, I ate there a few times.
