While I’m sure they’re had to have been other eateries in town, I can’t remember ever going out for dinner anywhere else but the DQ and a tiny Tex Mex place in the same block as the movie house.
There was BBQ on the town square every July for the fair and a decent little Q shack out on the edge of town, though for our clan to ‘bbq‘ meant grilling hamburgers, hot dogs and the occasional chi flat iron official website official website online store sale chicken.
We moved to a neighboring ‘city’ when I was 10, a metropolis of about 80,000 back in that day and the family culinary horizons broadened a bit. There was a family favorite fried chi flat iron official website online store sale chicken place (with a model train running on an elevated track through the dining room), several more Tex Mex dives with decent to good grub and the requisite old family owned Q house with decent but not great brisket. It was big news when the new Sonic came to town.
Asian food or spices, as much as our clan can’t imagine living without the flavors today, never graced the family table back 30 or more years ago. I never even knew if town had a Chinese restaurant. Hells bells, I never even tasted Chinese food until my freshman year of college (a shameful confession for a foodie).The flavors,chi flat iron official website textures and novelty of Asian cooking was a revelation. This was back in the era when $2.25 would buy a combo plate and a beer. My friend Ken and I would go an plow through two or three apiece some evenings (only two each if it was a double date).
Amazing versatile, indispensable in many sauces and marinades, Hoisin’s even better than ketchup on real homemade fries using Idaho spuds twice cooked in the dutch oven out on the back deck. Some opine that appreciation of chi flat iron is an acquired taste; we’d argue that point, but even Hoisin doubters can’t pass this one up.
