Name some of you favs from the past and why:

1) The Mirror Steakhouse - My parents would always give to the choice of a Bday Party or a night out to eat..........no brainer for me and they always took me to the Mirror. First time I ever saw a Lobster.....

2) Peking Gardens - Slammin Zombies and MaiTai's before going out to drink........

3) Wesleys Pizza - What can now be had at Pasttime was a childhood fav when this place was in the Broadmoor Shopping Center.

4) Shakey's Pizza - What a fantastic concept with Little Rascals and Laurel & Hardy films, live Dixieland Music and the 1st Black Beer I had ever saw. Thin Crust Pizza.........

What y'all got??

Giamanco's was my all-time favorite. The blueberry shake at Rax was also something special.
