The Flying Chicken was located on Harvard just across from Sidney Lanier at the back south side of a variety store. They were a carry out and delivered fried chicken. It a was great idea – long before pizza delivery was thought of.
At 11th and Yale was The Golden Drumstick serving honey dipped golden fried chicken, hot rolls with honey and after your meal you were served finger bowls with warm water. How’s that for a touch of elegance!
Later that same restaurant building became The Middle Path Café – a health food place that served Red Zinger Ice Tea and fantastic whole grain bread.
One of the first 15cent hamburger places was on 21st street – Griff’s Burger Bar
Borden’s Buffet was on top of the shopping center at Admiral and Sheridan – you would drive up on top of the building to the parking lot and then walk in to the big spacious dinning room. Roof view was exciting.
The Sky Cap room at the air port was a great date dinner place.
Is St. Michaels Alley still in business – that was a great atmostphere.
The kosher Deli - Tex Myers – on Peoria in Brookside.
The fountain at the drug store which is now Eye Emporium at 21st and Harvard. Had the best limeades and sandwiches.
