Sorry! 91st Bomb Group. Next to the airport. Wonderful beer cheese soup.
We'd sometimes make the drive there for lunch... extending the lunch hour by
about 30 minutes

Hmmm, I don't remember that one. I remember going to Picadilly's cafeteria
in Germantown with co-workers. I used to hate cafeterias; they reminded me
too much of school. I vaguely remember The Hungry Fisherman or Catfish
Cabin.

What about The Shanti (a miniscule steak house) with seating for maybe 8
people? Mis-matched plates, and you ate at a picnic table inside a tiny
shack. It was across the street from putt putt golf. They did have great
steaks, though. They screwed up their business plan and went belly up after
moving to a strip mall to open a larger restaurant. The same thing happened
to Buntyn's when they moved from the original location on Southern to a
strip mall.

What about the Luau? Tiki torches and totem poles in the parking lot.
Slighty down the street from East High School. I never ate there but it was
fun to see driving by. What about the Four Flames in midtown?

There was a great restaurant in Bartlett, TN called The Side Porch. When I
was in my 20's my mother and I used to go shopping then go to The Side Porch
for lunch. They served liver & onions. Mom loved liver & onions. When I
went back to move I took John there on what turned out to be their last day
the restaurant was open. Another good restaurant gone by the wayside. It's
a difficult busness.
