Subj : Repairs [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Sat Aug 03 2024 19:28:07 Hi Dave, RH> There's a Roy Rogers in Winchester, VA. We stopped there last November RH> on our way up north and yes, we got (good) roast beef sandwiches. Might RH> make it a more often stop. DD> The chain started in Ft. Wayne, IN as an outgrowth of Azar's Big Boy. DD> The Roy Rogers chain was sold in 1990 to Imasco, then the parent DD> company of Hardee's, and experienced severe decline as many locations DD> converted to Hardee's. In 2002, the trademark was purchased by DD> Plamondon Companies. So they've been around a while, not as long as McD's. Found out Zaxbys (another southern chain) was founded in the 90s, still a youngster compared to some. RH> It has been a while since we've been in a Carl's Jr; having the camper RH> we now usually fix our own lunches. IIRC, the menua are similr, but, RH> as you say, slight differences. I can't recall specific ones tho. DD> The one thing that Carl's Jr. brought to Hardee's that I think is a DD> plus is the "Frisco" burger - a 1/3-pound charbroiled Black Angus DD> beef patty covered in Swiss cheese, mayo, tomatoes, and bacon DD> sandwiched between toasted sourdough. DD> And now they have a BLT version which adds lettuce and more tomato and DD> bacon. Right now they're offering 50% off in their app so I've had a DD> few of those. By itself it's a meal. RH> I've seen it advertised on tv, both a chicken version and a beef RH> version. I think I'd go for the chicken, but take the chicken out and RH> have it on the side. We don't have the app so would pay full price if RH> we went for it. Today's lunch was splitting a chicken bake at Costco; I RH> had an appointment down in Raleigh, ran some other errands (including RH> Costco) before going to the dr. Not the greatest but it beats a burger RH> or their pizza. DD> Do the Hardee's in your area do coupons? I get a monthly mailing from DD> some marketing outfit. Yesterday's haul had coupons for Popeyes, DD> Subway, Burger King, Hardee's and Little Caesar's (who have improved DD> their pizza greatly). Once in a while there is even a McD's sheet of DD> coupons. Yes, we get the recycle bag flyer with all sorts of coupons. Haven't seen the Hardee's one in a while, last set was for Subway and BK. DD> The bundle also contains window, siding and gutter hutles. As well as DD> a BelTone hearing aid flyer and general beauty & bath merch coupons. Fodder for the recycle bag. DD> 8<----- SNIP----->8 RH> We put probably 100,000+ miles on the Frontier, know we did 135,00+/- RH> with the Honda in late 70s to early 80s. DD> I had an '87 Honda Accord I'd likely still be driving had that tool DD> truck (Mac Tools dealer) not blown a stop sign just as I was entering DD> the intersection. 30 mph to zero in a jiffy. And a dandy cut on my DD> forehead. I did have my seatbelt on which no doubt saved more hurts. DD> At the time it was wrecked it had over 200,000 miles on it. DD> My current ride, Bruno the Beemer has been to the moon and is on his DD> way home - 250,000 miles and still going strong. We're still working on the frist hunderd thousand on the F-150, bought it with about 58,000 on and I think we're somewhere in the 80s now. Got the truck end of February/beginning of March last year. RH> Mom did other things to stretch the budget but never S.O.S. DD> Since your Dad was in Unc's Yacht Club he probably put the kibosh on DD> that. RH> Most likely so. (G) First time I had it was in college, made with RH> ground beef and served on a gritty roll. At the time, the school RH> newspaper printed menus for the week ahead; they called it S.O.S. to RH> nobody's (that I was aware of) objection. When the school opened up RH> their new campus center with a cafeteria (instead of the under the RH> dorms family style meals), they stopped printing the menus. DD> Well, yeah. But a list of available choices would have been nice. I'm DD> not, and never have been a fan of cafeteria-style eating. If I'm doing DD> "pick it yourself" pre-made dishes give me the wretched excess of a DD> good ol' buffet. It was (at that time) basically offer of 2 entrees, about 4 sides, a couple of desserts. Lunch time always had a tossed salad available also. Now there's all kinds of choices, traditional, vegan and so on, with a proper salad bar. (We stopped there in May, on our way to Ohio from visiting family in the Rochester, NY area & had lunch there.) --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
