This would be wonderful news if I ever got within 25 miles of Baltimore.
Still, I miss Roy Rogers (not to be confused with Kenny Rogers) and would welcome an opportunity to reawaken those taste buds.
Chains, I didn't notice in this post, although I may have overlooked them:
Friendly's - the taste of my youth. They have changed quite a bit from the place I used to take a date to after the movies in the 60's and 70's. It was as much to socialize as to eat. In the 80's (Hershey ownership era) it was a place to bring the kids. We don't have many in the south. I've seen one in Orlando and one in Myrtle Beach. Nice to see beer on the menu, but that's the only improvement I can cite. Otherwise, they seem to have gone downhill.
Fudruckers - I guess I'm a sucker for anyplace I can fix my own burger. My kids seem to like that too.
