You sound like a liberalnazicommieterrorist who hates America and eagles and stuff.

Somewhat.  Yes.  But mostly I just hate catfish.

My grandparents lived in Temple.  I can't tell you how many times we ate with them at the Picadilly in the Temple Mall.  And I ain't complaining one bit.

Drove up Steck toward Mesa for the first time in a while last week, and shed a tear for the flatness that was once Luby's.

Piccadilly was a Louisiana outfit, and as a result, their gumbo and fried catfish was on point.

Probably ate 100+ meals at the PIccadilly inside Parkdale Mall in Beaumont growing up.

There's still one in Denham Springs not far from my in-laws house. One of these days the wife and I will have to stop in during a visit. I'm sure the nostalgia will be better than the actual food.

Doesn’t Pappas own Luby’s now ?

To me that is a chain that can come back with a vengeance with right locations.

I am all for it.

No, an activist shareholder forced Pappas to divest Lubys

A, but not an A+.  Because I can't understand how you would choose sliced roasted taters over mashed taters with gravy as part of that meal.  You're a mysterious and unusual man, and I do not understand your ways.

This was a paired combo including sliced potatoes with onions + 2 sides. That and I like scalloped potatoes with onions. They go great with cream gravy ... few things don't right. They had the same combo with chicken fried chicken.

My standard order since I was a tyke going through the Wyatt's Cafeteria line is CFS, mashed potatoes with cream gravy and corn + dinner roll. I'm a little more variable these days with my sides but I seldom omit mashed potatoes with gravy as one of them. So if it hadn't come with the scalloped potatoes, it would have most likely been mashed potatoes paired up with whatever looked good to me on a given day.

I find the fried okra to be hit and miss at Luby's though and today was no exception. Probably won't get them again. Have far better luck at BBQ joints and southern cafes with fried okra being fresh and on point.
