I’m not sure. I know I’m supposed to like poutine, but the cheese curds and gravy thing grossed me outThey serve poutine, right?
Real homemade handcut fries, "pan dripping" gravy and pork belly change everything! And you gotta have "squeaky" curds! Fuck now I want some!I’m not sure. I know I’m supposed to like poutine, but the cheese curds and gravy thing grossed me out
I’m kinda blown away that a Canadian city has more A&W’s than US cities.
No spontaneous onion rings for you!
What are you, some kinda communist?I’m not sure. I know I’m supposed to like poutine, but the cheese curds and gravy thing grossed me out
I'm in the same boat - when I worked there in the early 70's it was owned by an elderly German couple and Mr. Krinki would de-bone and grind on average 2 cows per day (they came in cleaned and halved).Okay, after further review, I'm pissed.
A&W Began in 1919. 1919!!!! In Lodi California. They began franchising in 1925, possibly the first successful franchising story of any of these types of restaurants
In the 70's, they had more stores than fucking MacDonalds.
Apparently some asshole named Adolph "Alfred" Taubman bought A&W in the 1980 and reduced the amount of stores to 500 and put a freeze on issuing new franchises. What a dick.
This place should be a fucking American legend!
LOL, the Atascadero is one of the only 2 in my county, 30 min for me. Paso is closer, 20-25 minUh....there isn't a SINGLE A&W in the Los Angeles area that I can find. I live like 20 minutes from one of the most populated cities in the world, and I have to drive AN HOUR AND FORTY MINUTES to get to a fucking A&W...
What the fuck?
lol...I looked them up in my area....there is one in Redlands an hour and forty minutes away, and one in Atascadero, 3 hours away.
Oh yeah, you could get the thick glass mugs, take out quarts and 1/2 gal of the elixir rootbeer and the onion rings, oh they were good. And I believe they were the 1st and last of the skating carhop waitressesOkay, after further review, I'm pissed.

The location in Atascadero is actually the only A&W I've ever eaten from...lolLOL, the Atascadero is one of the only 2 in my county, 30 min for me. Paso is closer, 20-25 min
I'm hesitant about which like response to put. Did you break up cuz she no longer has access to corpses(you are a chef afterall)? Did she die? Did she move down to your turf. Help me out hereThe location in Atascadero is actually the only A&W I've ever eaten from...lol
Wont be going there again anytime soon, my lady is no longer running those Mortuary locations.
We are still together. She has relocated, since she no longer works there...I'm hesitant about which like response to put. Did you break up cuz she no longer has access to corpses(you are a chef afterall)? Did she die? Did she move down to your turf. Help me out here
I'm more of a Socialist.What are you, some kinda communist?
Well, yeah, with the pandemic still going on and supposed to get worse she'll have oodles of "clients"We are still together. She has relocated, since she no longer works there...
The company "restructured", and offered her a reduced wage of $10k less per year, or a nice severance package. She made the smart decision, took the money and ran. With her experience, she'll find another location as soon as she starts looking again, but I'm hoping she takes 6 months off. She works too hard.
The only cheese curds I like to eat are fried cheese curds, and they are delicious. Coincidentally, A&W is the last place I ate fried cheese curds...lolI'm more of a Socialist.
You can't tell me this looks appealing to you.
Fries, cheese and gravy? Hell yeah I'd eat it, with liberal shakes of black and red pepper I'd be all over itI'm more of a Socialist.

Tommy's is an LA classic, was established and popular before I was in HS. Even at midnite there were lines around the block for the chow. Folks from every walk of life were thereGoogled friend cheese curds. They look amazing! Have to stop, I've had my fried food limit for while.
