The Food Thread (Non Instagram Edition)

Okay, I actually decided, I’m going to put my phobia of frogs aside and try frog legs once if I can find some near me.

So I just learned something: there was a chain of restaurants called Puleo's Grille that I just assumed was a national chain, but as it turns out, it was local to my town. Basically, it was like an Italian Ruby Tuesday: very similar atmosphere, very similar menu (in terms of limitation) . . . anyway, all locations have shut down within the last year, which I assumed was due to COVID, but as it turns out, the owner of the restaurant was in financial trouble, so he sold out to another local restaurateur who ended up committing suicide last year.

It's kind of a shame; although Puleo's menu was usually limited, their food was really good: some of the best salads I've ever had, and they had their own version of chicken cordon bleu that was quite tasty.

Ah, that’s a shame. Never fun when local resteraunts close down.

Do you know what I’ve seen quite a few of over the years? Burger Kings that went out of business.
They take down the signs, and a few I’ve passed have been vacant for years. You can tell from the shape of the red roof, and the fake brick facade, it used to be a BK. But it looks ghostlike seeing an empty building there.
At least the BK that I worked at when I was 16 is a Panera now.

That's happening to just about all of the Hardee's around here.

I know that our local Burger King closed down a couple of years ago and it’s still vacant.

The closest one to me closed a few years ago.

But I mean..... I can live with it. I don’t like BK.

My dad doesn’t like BK, but my mom and I like it though.

Anyone tried fried Shrimp before? It's heaven in your mouth.

Dude, I love fried shrimp! Actually, I just love shrimp in general! Just about the only shrimp I won't eat is coconut shrimp, because I never liked shredded coconut.

In other news, CiCi's Pizza has filed for bankruptcy . . . anyone care to take a guess as to why?

Shrimp Alfredo pizza tho.
