MAID-RITE COMMERCIAL

[brunoflipper]

i'd question your recollection of what you saw/heard in the knapp's maid-rite... he and his family were owner/operators and put everything they had into that store, they were very proud of it...

the only time i saw two different piles of meat on the grill was when one was cooked and ready to go out and the other was still cooking... i do know that a couple of times coach changed one meat pile to be "spicier" and when he made one that was actual "sloppy joes" per customer requests... they never had two different quality meats... i mean, it was all ground whatever anyway and not advertised as "ground angus" or any other highline meat... so, if it was all just ground something, how much could you save by going with a lesser quality ground meat?

hell, you might have just heard someone getting ripped for trying to serve meat that was not even ready yet...

and yes, i was always there and actually kind of worked there for awhile...

Mi Cocina, it's not a chain, although they have several locations here and one in KC.  Very good Mexican, but with a lot of non typical dishes.

Hook, Line & Sinker on Lemon in Dallas near McKinney Ave.
Not a chain but its a busy place in Dallas.  

Mostly fried fish, spicy shrimp cocktails, very simple stuff.  Order at a counter a la White River.  However its very small, maybe was an old gas station?

I ate at Taylor's Maid Rite in Marshaltown back in the 90s when I made my pilgrimage to the Mecca of IMCAdom. It was a nice novelty but if it was all that great there would be McDonald's Maid Rites all over the country.

Back then you could race 5 nights a week up there and not pull over 100 miles.

The only sushi I had here was at World Buffett and it tasted like what a Big Toe off of a cadaver would taste like.  I politely spewed it into my napkin and that was it for me.  Then, while vacationing in Carlsbad a couple of months ago, I tried seared Ahi and loved it.

Buffet sushi.  Now that's just wrong!

I put a lot of thought into this...A co-worker at the time (from Iowa) liked to go there and talked about it a lot, so I may have heard it from her. I also read the review in the newspaper at the time and it may have come from that review. I do remember hearing it from one source or the other. I would use coupons when I went in there, but quit going there after I learned what happened.

I would love to have a really good independent full service Greek restaurant.

If you liked Hook Line and Sinker Try Aw Shucks on Lower Greenville.  Total hole in the wall but best fried shrimp I've ever eaten...and I don't even like fried shrimp.

I would like El Pollo Loco to open a few places in Tulsa. Everytime I go to SoCal on business and have the chance, I go by an El Pollo Loco and get something to eat.

Basically it's chargrilled chicken in a fast food setting and I find it very tasty.
