A&W hasn't been worth a damn since they tried to make the leap from drive-in chain to family-friendly sit-down restaurant, failed at that, and got eaten by one of the junk-food borgs. Town I grew up in, the local franchise owner looked at the front money it would take to replace his building and keep his franchise, said the hell with it, and bought a new sign with his own name on it. Same menu, almost the same root beer, and kept on chugging for many years, I've tried A&W's is several other towns since then- it just isn't the same. I think the taste of the cold root beer in the big glass mug, and the taste of the hot dogs, was affected by eating them half-outside sitting in a car with open windows, and the whiff of exhaust from all the kid hot rods pulling in and out. The food was never stellar- you were paying for the ambiance. Close cousin to the walkup-only, icecream-only Dairy Queen right next door, where if you were really good that week, you went for dessert. They followed the same path A&W tried to, but were a little more successful at it, at least for awhile. I'll note, though, that the only DQ left in this town is the original walkup one- the sit-down versions all went belly up. Vanilla cone I used to pay a quarter for is now about 3 bucks, though. Yet another couple of my treasured childhood memories ruined by corporate 'bigger must be better' think. -- aem sends... |
