There's one near me in Jasper. I told my wife I want to go there one night. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

That picture brings back some memories. Used to go with my family on occasion when I was a kid. Usually for the Book It! program. Looked up the pin for giggles, and it's just like a remember it. Were they partnered with Reading Rainbow, or am I remembering a connection that wasn't there?
That's cool, I wasn't sure if that was a thing anymore. It hasn't been mentioned locally through our kid's schools or on TV or anything, so I dunno if that exists here.
Yeah.... Working in and around kitchens, you see things. You have to then learn how to either put them out of your mind when you go out to eat, or else just never let anyone handle your food unsupervised ever again. I was an expo at an Applebee's in college for a while. One night in the middle of the dinner rush, I watched a waitress re-plate an order of wings that hit the floor on the front-of-house side of the pass. The GM was standing right next to her and watched her do it. I had turned to tell the cooks I needed that order remade on the fly and he put a hand on my shoulder and just shook his head "no" before turning his attention back to the order screen. She ran it out. If you've ever worked in a kitchen, you know how disgusting the floors get during the day. If haven't, you probably don't want to know. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
We still have two in town, and another in a town just north of us. They also do book-it through our local library, and my kids love it. I remember doing it as a kid through my school. Pizza Hut is ok. It's better than most other chain places, but gets beat by most local joints, or my wife's homemade pizza. We used to eat there a lot when I worked midnights because it was one of the few places open after 9:00pm. These days I'm relegated to the salad bar (which is actually pretty good) because of my stupid pancreas, but they also did something to their sauce a few years back and it's not as good as it used to be, so that makes it a little easier to watch others eat it when I can't. | |||

To say that picture brings back memories would be an understatement. I can smell, hear, and invision being in a 1980's to early 90's Pizza Hut just seeing it. I preferred Pac-Man to Galaga and remember the free pizzas for reading. I wish I could go back. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

It's all part of the adventure... |
That picture takes me back. My best friend from high school and I would go to Pizza Hut and we’d order 2 pitchers of beer (one for each of us) and 2 small pan pizzas (one for each of us and not personal pan pizzas). I would always finish my pizza and my pitcher; my buddy would usually finish his pitcher, but not his pizza. Ahh, the good old days… We also had a Pappy’s Pizza in the mall. It had a player piano, and the waiters dressed like barber shop quartet singers in striped shirts and straw hats; the pizza wasn’t bad, either. One of the best places for pizza though, was Mr. Tee’s Pizza. After the divorce it was renamed Ms. Tee’s Pizza. Lol Of course, I’ve never met a pizza I didn’t like.

Staring back from the abyss |
It was. Only went there once one afternoon with my sister and my aunt in about 78 I think it was. It's funny I still remember that day. It was also the day I saw the biggest rat I've ever seen. Damn thing was the size of a Cocker Spaniel. When I went back to Chicago in the 80s, it was all Giordanos though. Damn I loved their spinach stuffed pizzas. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Not really from Vienna |
This sounds a lot like I remember Shakey’s Pizza, where I first had pizza as a kid. I believe it would’ve been at Cherry Creek Shopping Center, in Denver, probably around 1966. | |||

Shakey's was great too. It disappeared from around here 30 years ago or so. | |||

I can still remember to this day what their pepperoni pizza tasted like at the Janesville, WI location back in the 70s. So good. If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made. | |||
