I feel like a ravening beastie, waiting for Sid to come back with food. Mom caught the Evil Airplane Flu from me, so he was the only one who felt like meeting Tim, Debbie, the kids, and Mamaw at Macado's at the last minute.
My favorite sandwiches from there are generally the Molly Brown (with cucumber) or the Gibson Girl, but I will be ecstatic to see my half of the Hindenburg he's apparently bringing. Mmm, subs.
I thought it was too bad the Star City Diner in Roanoke (also owned by Spanky Macher--quite a character) was closed down in 2001 for health violations; it must have really gone downhill from when I was stopping in there frequently. It was an enjoyable place for a leisurely lunch or supper with friends. I also really enjoyed Mr. Macher's ongoing battles with a sanctimonious pisspot or two over "tacky" signs--these included a Godzilla statue on the roof, IIRC, along with "Bad Boy", a large duded-up Big Boy figure--also on the roof. *g*
I can't help but get a charge out of Spanky. :)
