Reply #80: When I was a kid it was a treat to have dinner there

[nuxvomica]

There was one on the outskirts of town and my parents would take us there for dinner every once in a while. The cool thing was that the kid's menu was a pre-cut, folding cardboard model of a Howard Johnson's restaurant. In my twenties, when I worked the evening shift, I went there with my fellow co-workers on Wednesday's for the all-you-can-eat fish and clam fry. We thought the all-you-can-eat policy was a great deal even though nobody ever ordered seconds.
