White House Visit (Now Gainesville Nostalgia . . . LOL!)

Cassidy's

 

Mad Monks?

 

Rocky Rococo's?

 

I actually was there. With a couple hundred others, tops.
"I Will Follow" was the only song that really got a lot of enthusiasm from the audience. So they played it twice.

 

Before that it was Press and Ed's BBQ. Best hotter than fire hot sauce ever.

 

I can’t read Fillmore without thinking of this:

 

I know the owners of the salty dog and they have no plans to go out of business unless they demolish the whole strip well then….

 

Ctusher got it, it was Cassidys

 

They did their sizes funny at Cassidy’s. Mini was their small, small was their medium and medium was their large. I had many happy meals their until the day somehow bug spray got in their sauce.

 

My brother, SIL, and I went there one time. We thought we were heat-tolerant when it came to spicy food. I think we ordered medium heat, but still had to wipe the excess sauce off just so we could eat it.

 

Must have been after 1976

 

Allen’s Gator Haus

 

Great list. The only one I saw missed was Bilbo and Gandalf's. Cheese board and french onion soup.

 

I had a roommate named Rick that ate so much RR pizza we called him Rocko. Dude gained like 70 pounds in college on an all pizza and beer diet.

 

I have to disagree with you about one thing. This would be one of the things in life you could buy. I don't have the money nor would I want to but others have clearly bought their way in there. Kids should decide themselves if they want to go or not. I wouldn't judge them either way.

 

It was a hot sauce for sure.

I loved the place because I could get BBQ'd goat. I can now get cabrito at La Tienda but not as good. Well prepared Jamaican goat is also really good but hard to find.

 

Real old Gainesville. Captain Louis Galley and Chandlers Hamburger, Phil & Nicks, Primrose Inn, Woodys sandwich shop

 

So if we go to the White House, does Aberdeen get an invite?

 

No, wait...REALLY old gainesville: Jerry's Restaurant. NW corner of 16th Ave and 13th, IIRC. It was a "treat" to get to go out there when we lived in Gainesville in 1966-1967.
