Was the "Choice of 2 meats (12 lb), " supposed to be (1/2 lb)? Twelve
pounds of meat is a *LOT*  Bv)=

Nearest we come to that is on/near 11 November our local Golden Corral
buffet does free breakfast if it's a weekend and/or free dinner. I've 
been a couple of times. Last time was for the evening meal and I went
with my brother (Vietnam vet)) my chilli cooking friend Les (former "wing
wiper") and house-mate of that era, SSteve, who was a former member of 
"Hooligan's Navy" and a current Captain in the National Guard. That day
was pretty chilly so we took turns standing on line holding our place
while the others warmed up in the car.

My brother asked me if I was goin g this year andf I replied "I've 
stood in enough chow lines when I was in the Navy."

'nother good deal can be had at American Legion Post 32's Mess Hall
restaurant .... a real "hidden gem". On Tuesdays all veterans get 
33% off their meal ticket.
