When Mike Anderson's was in the old white house outside the Gate when you go to Highland the Catfish was to die for and they gave you a lot. The highlight of going to Football Games was eating at Mike Anderson's!


Something is happening, and not in a good way, with Mike Anderson's now. It used to be you'd have to put your name on a list with the lady at the front desk and then wait 30 minutes for a table.

The last four times I've been there, once on a Friday evening and three times on a Saturday evening, we were seated immediately and at least half the tables/booths were empty.

He's also in the Packer Hall of Fame. #31. For those early to Green Bay, it might be worth a visit.

One of the best games ever between Green Bay and the Giants. Taylor and Huff bit, scratched and clawed for sixty minutes. Those were two tough dudes.

Remember Chuck Bednarik? He was a bit before my time, but he sounded vicious. Shot down Germans as a waist gunner in a B-24, then crushed running backs and quarterbacks as a linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles.

quote:

In 1960, Bednarik knocked Frank Gifford of the New York Giants out of football for over 18 months, with one of the most famous tackles in NFL history. Bednarik had a famous quarrel with Chuck Noll, who once, as a player for the Cleveland Browns, smashed him in the face during a fourth-down punting play.


quote:

Bednarik was an outspoken, even bitter critic of modern NFL players for playing on only one side of the ball, calling them "pussyfoots", noting that they "suck air after five plays" and that they "couldn't tackle my wife Emma".

I cracked a joke about this as well. M.A.'s is overdue for another fire.


Everyone makes jokes about this. At some point one has to look beyond bad luck. I doubt any restaurant has ever had as many fires as M.A.'s and remains in business.
