"How would you like your steak?"
-
When I was a kid, we went to Ponderosa a few times. For my 50th birthday (2 decades ago), my wife and I visited Wisconsin. We drove around a bit, eventually got lost and by late afternoon, we were ready to eat cardboard...and then we came upon a Ponderosa... I was overjoyed - to once again as they still had your "all you can eat buffet" with genuine red jello, vanilla pudding with vanilla wafers - and steak that was pretty mediocre - but was recognizable as formerly a carbon based life form. I was overjoyed. I treasure the memory even if we never repeat it.

So yeah, sounds like Ponderosa’s were still pretty much what I remember from the 80s…

We used to lick the road clean for sustenance.

We never went to steak houses growing up. They weren’t really in the family budget. My mom overcooked steaks at home.

Growing up with 6 children in the family we never went to any restaurant.
Maybe once a year to Howard Johnson during summer vacation.

WOW! You got to go to HoJos?
I was allowed to share a piece of toast from the lunch/breakfast counter at GC Murphy’s once.

Our neighbours had cows. We used to lick them clean for sustenance.

I thought you only did that with sheep. Did you wear your wellies?
Never on a first date.
