When we were young, the only fast food places we ate at was Dairy Queen. The first time I tried a McDonald's was in high school!Growing up there was McDonald’s and a few independent burger joints. I don’t remember lettuce and tomato on a burger until Burger King came to town. That was about the time the Big Mac rolled out.
Independent joints did burgers, chili burgers, burgers with grilled onions! Most all the independent places served chili too. Ketchup, mustard, onions & pickles were the norm.
Mayonnaise started around the time Burger King showed up! Then Swiss & mushrooms burgers. Growing up it was always American cheese, never bacon either.
My chef buddy grew up in the Original Prince’s Famous Hamburger family. He explained mayonnaise as being a moisture barrier between bun & meat. He also explained the order of lettuce and tomato and onion.
I remember my grandparents bought their sodas by the case, in those wooden cases, and you put the empties back in them, so they went back to the store for credit on the empty bottles.Dairy queen. Used to have the 99 cents meal deal. Burger drys drink and dessert.
This us the 70s? Back when your parents kicked you out the house after breakfast.
We would go thru the trash cans for bottles. Kids would fight for territories where only they could pick the trash and work a different part every day. We would always try to get enough bottles for lunch and a few quarters for video games once they started showing up. Very rarely would we go hungry.
My grand parents used to goto the bottling plant and back up the truck and fill it with DR pepper. Now days you cant do that nor can you store soda like that cause they dont use sugar.I remember my grandparents bought their sodas by the case, in those wooden cases, and you put the empties back in them, so they went back to the store for credit on the empty bottles.
I kind of miss La Michoacoana Meat Market we had in the old neighborhood. Great cheap taco made for real! I see a taco stand in Jewett but have yet to try it.It's to far to send the wife for tacos when I don't want to cook or we need groceries!Torchy's Tacos....Chips n Queso, 1 Brushfire, 1 Tailgater (Sept taco of the month), 1 Baja Shrimp. Decent tacos but running $4 to $5 per taco is a bit rough. They also got smart and offer Coke products now instead of that Maine Root shit.
Tacos are EVERYWHERE down here. We liked to go to what we called "Little Mexico", a road outside of town that had 5-6 Taco/Mexican food trucks...you know, the kind of places that would look at us walk in and think to themselves, "what the F*** are these gringos doing out here?". A lot of those places were hit hard by Covid so we have stayed away for the past year and a half.I kind of miss La Michoacoana Meat Market we had in the old neighborhood.
