As was the ice cream bar. RIP horseshoe club. I miss you so bad.

They brought out another delicious round of the most tender meat you’ve ever experienced. I savored every bite, and that one was on the house!

Once, I finished my fillet, salad, and baked potato. They asked me if I wanted another round. You know what? I did.

If a kid finished their dinner, they were given a nestle crunch ice cream bar. I always finished my fillet.

Made their own vinaigrette. Popular side was spaghetti. Free thin crunchy breadsticks with butter.

Walk in to a dark wood paneled room with a bar in back. Red and white checkerboard tablecloths on the tables.

Then, ring the doorbell at the deadbolted door with a little window. If they liked the look of you, they’d let you in. If they knew you, you’d probably get a hug and kiss. It was supposedly a speakeasy back in the day.

Park out in the gravel lot, walk into the entrance hallway filled with framed cartoons and novelty advertisements (ski Illinois) and hang your coat.

They dry-aged their steaks. You could cut a filet with the side of a fork.

I wrote a bit about this when I wrote about Jane’s Addiction (& why a pivotal show where Seattle bands were present was the acid test of grunge, thank you for your book @markyarm.bsky.social )
On Jane’s Addiction
I first developed an interest in Jane’s Addiction via Sassy Magazine. I can’t remember if Sassy Magazine got me into grunge or the other…
