Speaking of childhood restaurants, PeachesBB and I checked out the new Kincaids today after our bank run.

The outside is classic suburban strip mall... so I worried immediately how my favorite burger joint would translate in sterile Southlake.

I need not have worried... inside, you'll find a very close (although larger) reproduction of the original Chas. Kincaid Market - complete with open grill, letterboard sign, standup grocery counters w/ magazines, picnic tables, vintage wall decor, hanging promo "blow ups", and orders taken on white paper sacks.

My fried okra tasted as crisp as always (and came with the required ranch dressing without asking), my burger was super fresh, and the canned sodas cold. We didn't save room for deviled eggs or fried pies, but both were present. Despite the 1 pm time we arrived, there was a wait for orders and the dining room was crowded. Were it not for the parking lot out the window in lieu of the red brick, I could have sworn I was in Fort Worth!
