Feasting with FAA

[tech58]

I chose to lunch at Johnny Rockets to check out the grilled cheese sourdough sandwich Olds has raved about. It was pretty good. I chose cheddar. Waitress looked like Kimmy from Full House. 13,000 step day, so I didn’t want to feel sluggish. Nice nostalgic environment. Hopefully I’ll see the staff break out dancing for patrons next time, which is a thing at JR.

We have had one of these in a converted diner for about a year.
Been there twice. First time in a hurry. Burger was ruint.
Second time thought I would fix that. Asked waiter for one "on the rare side of medium rare".
Was informed that they only cook theirs well done. Walked out (No hurry this time).
How they ever survived, let alone expanded, is a mystery to me. Wonder if this policy is really chain wide? Anyone know?
Not to criticize anyone who likes well done beef, General Grant could not stand the sight of blood (is that ironic or what)
However they are in a minority, so how do you survive catering to a minority?

I hate to say it, but the carrot man looks like a guy that got shot in the middle by a firing squad. Sorry…….…..my cartoon brain

In Ct, they don’t dance anymore. They cook all their burgers well. Guess they are afraid of lawsuits. I go there rarely now. I suspect the cooks are illegal aliens or maybe here on Visas at best. Could be wrong, but speak o English as do some of the other employees. Most Americans just won’t take those jobs. Speaking on the same subject just for a moment, just about the entire huge cleaning staff at Bizarro speaks no English including Housekeeping.
We took the worst jobs growing up. 50s and 60s. Those days are gone. I won’t hyjack the thread with details so just mention in passing…… lowered into a factory oil tank to clean sludge, wiping down truck bodies with Thinner before the paint booth, operating dangerous machinery in a razor blade factory with 0 safety equipment. A few more I’ll save for another time.

Ever try worm picking/

[olds442jetaway]

Yes, but mostly in our backyard before fishing, or digging at the beach for sandstorms. I forgot. Picking tobacco worms at the family farm in Virginia on hot summer days.
