Am I Really Getting That OLD???

It is amazing what the AARP set considers "fine dining" and "quality hotels"

Now that's the Gospel truth!  Their standards are not exactly where I like to eat and stay.

Ryan's is a buffet like Golden Coral.  Red Lobster used to be really good, but they've gone down hill fast the lst few years.  I don't eat there anymore either.

Who the hell eats at Shoneys?!   YUCK!

People with the AARP discount ... the same ones who go to Ryan's

I don't eat there either.  It gives me the runs.  Better head straight the house after that place.
My rule of thumb is if it doesn't have a bar, then I ain't goin'. 

I think Shoney's and Ryan's are examples of your famous southern "cuisine", which we thankfully, don't have around here. 

Fine Southern Dining is The Lady and Son's, Any of the Peasant Restaurants, and Greens on Green Street (in Roswell). It is not Stuckey's or Cracker Barrell - whose founders got rich off yankees thinking they are eating Southern!

Never heard of that one, either.

Cracker Barrel isn't that bad.  I kind of like it, actually.

But yes, Lady and Sons in Savannah is good.  The best southern food is at the locally owned places.
And my grandmother's dining room table.

I've been getting AARP stuff for 2 or 3 years now.  I'm only 37.  I just throw it out.

I hear the discounts are pretty good

Yes, but you have to worry about your money being used to forward a political agenda that you might not necessarily agree with.

Yeah ... but I get the "All-You-Can-Eat Food Bar" at Shoney's for $3.95 !!

Yeah, but then you have to eat dinner at 4:30 in the afternoon, Bill
