That's a very neat looking sandwich, Jack. My dinner was a little messier:

If any of you Guardians are in Austin this month, you have to go to The Frisco Shop. It's closing on the 29th.


The Frisco, the last remaining location of Austin’s Night Hawk diner chain, is closing in Brentwood. Its last day of service on 6801 Burnet Road will be on Sunday, July 29.

The original Night Hawk was founded by Harry Akin, a former mayor of Austin, in 1931, on Congress Avenue and Riverside Drive,with 15 cent burgers. He opened a second location on Guadalupe in 1933 with Night Hawk #2, and the late-hours, mid-century diner chain expanded with locations in San Antonio and Burnet Road (which became the Frisco shop). He also opened steakhouses within Austin, San Antonio, and Houston.
Under Harry Akin, the diner chain was known being one of the first Austin restaurants to break segregation barriers by welcoming and serving black people. He also empowered women and minorities in the restaurant business (One of those people included Hoover’s Cooking owner and chefAlexander Hoover, whose first job was at Night Hawk.)

Harry Akin died in 1976. His wife Lela Jane Akin took over the companies, and several restaurants shuttered, including #2 in 1980. The original restaurant had to close for over two years in 1985 after a fire destroyed the building, and it had to permanently shutter after that. Former Frisco manager Lawrence Baker and Harry’s nephew R. Harry Akin bought the Burnet restaurant in 1994.

Me too:

Hey, Dave, welcome! Great to see you posting here. Looks like you got yourself a handsome one. I’m looking forward to hearing how you like it.

Is the Jack Black sfo still available?

Me too:

Dave, sorry my friend, I inexplicably managed to miss your fantastic pics until now! I wasn't sure what you'd make of the Lambsfoot, but thanks for giving it a try

Morning Guardians, another day of blue skies here in Yorkshire I don't think we've had a summer like this since I was a kid! Thought I'd treat myself to a double Lambsfoot day

Awesome pic's again Jack! I don't recognize the bark on that tree, what do you suppose the species it is?

Covered in mushroom gravy nom nom.

It's a species of pine Dave, really beautiful trees, I came home with a bag of pine cones to use as tinder! Unfortunately, I don't have any uncropped pics

Following r8shell 's post, I've been enjoying learning more about the Nighthawk diners I'm sure Rachel has seen this piece from 2001, but thought other Guardians might enjoy reading it

Very nice David That looks like a good pork pie I am just having cheese on toast (with Hendersons), but I forgot to take a pic!

Edit - I couldn't resist googling Appleton's!

Pork pie and lambsfoot!! I need to eat lunch!

My apologies for the late acknowledgement gents; I've had the sketchiest internet connection these past few days and of course right in the middle having to do online training for a new job
In fact to stop myself from chucking the computer through the window, I just gave up and went to the Shrewsbury Beer Festival yesterday

Jack, Appletons have been a Ripon institution for years now, but they opened one in York about ?2 years ago on Coney Street. A fine replacement for the oft lamented Scott's butchers which used to sit on Petergate
Their pies are excellent, and as they sit betwixt railway station and my favourite pubs, pretty irresistable/unavoidable to...

What a shame! We don't really have places like that over here; but if someone asked me to think up images of classic America, I think an image similar to what Jack posted would pop into head. Looks a great place and the food looks fantastic.
And with all this talk of food. Yesterday's lunch.

It’s sad to hear that your losing such a well established and long thriving burger restaurant! From the looks of your plate it’s obvious that it’s not closing because of the food! At least you still have the What-a-Burger close by. The What-a-Burger is my favorite fast food burger and my closest one is over two hours away!

I’m going to be Totin my large Rosewood today and tomorrow! It will more than likely get sweaty!

Ha! Yes, there's always Whataburger. Night Hawk was a great place. What I remember that set it apart is that it was one of the few places around here that had "career waitresses" as opposed to "students who are waiting tables" They were older, and good at their jobs. A few years ago when the Frisco Shop moved locations, I heard that they paid their staff during the six months they were closed so they could re-open without losing anyone. Unheard of, at least in this state!

Speaking of food, it's time to have some breakfast (with a lambsfoot in my pocket)

You Guardians sure do know how to eat
