Hi Dave,

 DD> Turkey Bacon is salty and smoky but not very porky.

 RH> It doesn't have the mouth feel of real bacon.

 DD> When you cook it as crispy as I do there's not much to chjoose.  Bv)=

Tried it but still would rather not spend my money on it.


 RH> Never saw a Lee's, guess we were in the wrong region.

 DD> They're centered mostly in Kentucky and Ohio. Oddly, since the Corp
 DD> Rat headquarters isa in Fort Walton Beach, Florida - there are only
 DD> three
 DD> of the Quick Serve stores there. None in your state.

We've got enough other places to go for good chicken. (G)

 DD> There used to was two stores here. I've no idea why they closed as
 the DD> chicken was *always* better done than KFC (not greasy) and the
 stores DD> were always busy when I visited.

 DD> Lenten season go-to was their "Filet Meal" with a fish sandwich,
 DD> fries, and hot chocolate. And the cheese even back then was the
 DD> half-slice. I asked the manager of my nearby store "Why the cheese?"
 DD> and he shrugged then replied "Company Rules".

 RH> And a manager told me to ask for no cheese if that's what I wanted,
 RH> then the sandwich would be made up fresh and hot.

 DD> There is that (unspoken) benefit to custom orders at a burger
 DD> snatcher.

Exactly!

 DD>      8<----- CUT ----->8

 DD> driving . When I was working out of town last summer I'd stop at the
 DD> local DQ for a medium chocolate shake to make the 30 mile drive home
 DD> more tolerable. It would last me city limits to city limits unless I
 DD> was risking "brain-freeze".  Bv)=

 RH> Tasted pretty good on a hot day too. Our ice cream intake definately
 RH> goes up during the summer but not as much as it did when we were first
 RH> married. We'd get a $.15 double scoop cone every week after doing
 RH> laundry, occaisionally going for the 4 scoops for $.25. I think once or
 RH> twice we got the 6 scoops for $.35--that impressed my sister so much
 RH> when she came to visit once that she went back the next night for
 RH> another 6 scoop cone.

 DD> That was, no doubt, some years ago. My local B-R brags about their U$1
 DD> single scoop cones.

Full size scoop? If so, great deal.


 RH> That was in the mid 70s. We don't have a B-R nearby but do have a great
 RH> home made ice cream place, took folks from the 2019 picnic there. A
 RH> single (generous) scoop is $5. but Steve gets his free for being
 RH> retired military. He usually has them add a couple of dollars to the
 RH> "cop card" which pays for the free cones for military & first
 RH> responders of all branches. I like to split my single scoop into 2
 RH> smaller; last week I had chocolate on the bottom and cinnamon (real,
 RH> not the red candy) on the top.

 DD> Got to remember that mid-70s was *half* *a* *century* ago.

 DD> We've got more than Baskin-Robbins. Heck we used to have aHoward
 DD> Johnsons I Scream store. These days you'd be hard pressed to find
 DD> anything Ho-Jo's

 RH> I see them every once in a while in our travels but haven't eaten at
 RH> one since I was a kid.

 DD> They're nothing special. We've got a local place called "Scoop du
 DD> Jour" which is pretty much like the I scream parlours of our youth.
 DD> They eveb do I Scream Sodas.

Lumpy's doesn't do sodas but does do shakes.
