opened up Sammy's Southern Bistro off of Jones Creek. It was pretty successful for a while, but they disagreed on some stuff.


I liked that place, and used to go there a lot..I always wondered what happened to it. I lost a small fortune in those addicting arse video poker machines there, I'm glad those damn machines are not around to tempt me anymore.

I worked for your dad at Sammy's a long time ago. I actually remember you but you were like 5 or 6 years old. At least I'm pretty sure that was you. Your dad was/is a good guy.

I remember when he started up Bistro, the poster Twain worked there for a little bit. Also, I want to say a guy I went to State with was related to your mom. I cant' remember how though.

I think Steve Bonfanti has a piece of Sammy's now. I know he has at least a piece of the real estate; not sure about the actual restaurant.

They should be getting close on the Central location huh?

I'd have to agree with you, if you're a restaurant and you have a fly problem going on over a year, something has to be done, even if you pay for building upgrades out of your own pocket. Just look at this thread, instead of a positive thread with most people commenting on how good the food is and rag getting quickly dismissed for bitching about a dollar, you get 5 pages of talks of fly infestation and a principle of the restaurant mired down in a defensive position.



i understand your points completely, but you just described the phenomenon that is a message board right there ... if you are a local business owner and choose to start a thread about your own place, by all means, there are no lifeguards on duty and you have to swim at your own risk ...

I'm coming in rather late on this thread, but this should make for an interesting crawfish boil party.
