Jays Krispy Fried Chicken Review, Sikeston, MO
Once you’ve done “throwed rolls” (Lamberts) you’re left with few choices in Sikeston. Jay’s Krispy Fried Chicken is one of them, and they’ve been around a long time. Also heard they have a buffet, so you know I’m down (up) for that. Rolled in, ordered at the counter. “Do you want a breast or wings?” … Continue reading Jays Krispy Fried Chicken Review, Sikeston, MO
JJs Lakeside Cafe Review, Lake Village AR
Northbound on US Highway 65 through Arkansas the other day, was feeling a might peckish and decided I was in the mood for some catfish, a specialty around these parts.

Country Cookin by George Review – Lexington, KY
I was out on a buffet drive, down I-64, I-75 and environs. I had done my research in advance (‘natch) and had made up my mind to go to a different location, originally, but a last minute check on YELP showed a gaggle of bad reviews lately. When they are grouped together in rapid succession,… Continue reading Country Cookin by George Review – Lexington, KY
Jewel Osco Hot Food Bar Review
Jewel Osco Hot Food Bar Review First time I ever recall seeing a “hot food bar” was in the corner delis and bodegas in New York City, must have been 30-40 years ago. That made sense, people rushing home from work, late, wanted a hot, somewhat balanced meal that they didn’t have to fuss with… Continue reading Jewel Osco Hot Food Bar Review
Buona Beef Restaurants Review – Chicago area
About thirty years ago, Chicagoan Joe Buonavolanto Senior had a notion to open a restaurant serving Chicago specialties – Italian beef and sausages, hot dogs, ribs, sandwiches and pizza. He took a 2nd mortgage out on his house to finance it, and did some of the initial construction with his own hands. Today, the third generation… Continue reading Buona Beef Restaurants Review – Chicago area
Big Boy Breakfast Buffet Review – Hamilton, OH
Neither you nor I have enough time to go into the history of Big Boy restaurants. Suffice to say, started in California in the 30s, oldest one still standing is Burbank, CA (pictured below), chain went thru several owners and now is a “chain of chains,” in that while they share menu, decor, and marketing,… Continue reading Big Boy Breakfast Buffet Review – Hamilton, OH
