Is Shoney's (restaurant) still around ?

[saildog]

Right, but no sh-sh from the beginning

Still wonder why they pronounced it like that ?

Possibly confusing the restaurant name with the name of the tribe that Sacagawea was from...the Shoshone (Sha-show-knee).

You know what ... ?

I think that explains it

I am fast learning that my little, itty-bitty corner of the world does not have a lot of chain restaurants that seem to be popular in other areas. There hasn't been a Big Boy around here since the 1970's and today is the first I have ever heard of Shoney's.

I don't recall whether it was on this forum or another, but last year I learned through an on-line discussion that there are actually chain donut outlets! There is nothing like that around here,....donuts come from small family bakeries.

I recall another discussion about the best fast food hamburgers and was unfamiliar with most of the chains mentioned.

Maybe hubby and I don't eat out much simply because there aren't many places here at which to eat out.

Denny's is the one we had that closed down here. Their Grand Slam Breakfasts were pretty good from what I remember, at least here.

I actually haven't been to Shoney's in quite a while.

I've got to travel about 30 miles to go to a Denny's.
