Random, Thoughts, X,XXIV

The Director of operations at O'Charley's went to work for the guy that used to own Major Wallaby's at Rivergate. He owned an Applebee's franchise that had 4 stores. I was hired as GM of Thompson Lane and was going to make Area Supervisor soon. That all went to crap when dood got all cocained out and lost his franchise.

AppleSouth took over and wanted to transfer me to their training store in NC. Would have been a good move at the time, but I got cockey with the new Director and told him and them to go have sex with themselves.

I was there 3 years. Haven't ever been inside another one and would never eat there.

I think I ate Applebee's once and got appetizers I am surprised it's stayed open so long. I like Logan's good and not that expensive then Ocharlies and Outback. It's been years since I have been to a nice place to eat.

I haven't been to O'Charley's since probably 95 or 96. They were solid back in the day for a high volume casual dining joint. Best fried cheese ever.

Monterey Jack cheese wedges? I ate there once and think that is the appetizer I had.

They may have changed, but they were Pepper Jack sticks. So good.

That probably what they were. It’s been years ago since I went there. They were pretty decent.

Last time I went was on the strip there in Ktown and we only drank beer. Don't remember food

I was hammered at that one more than once.

I liked O’Charley’s a lot when I lived in Tennessee. Haven’t been to one in decades.

O'Charley's is still pretty good, but not as good as it was 15-20 years ago.

There’s been two O’Charley’s closed down close to me in the past year.

Not sure of the entire story, but the founder of o'charleys was from right here in paris

We used to eat at O'Charley's a lot....liked the rolls and the cheese sticks back in the 90s for sure....went there when the kids could eat free on certain nights.

Speaking of rolls, this is random: as the "brown-and-serve"-type go, those Kings Hawaiian sweet rolls are pretty good. We just discovered them fairly recently.

 

[Behr]

King Hawaiian and spinach and artichoke dip are like olive oil and garlic, peanut butter and chocolate hot dogs and mustard!

 

[GordonC]

Do you make your own spinach and artichoke dip? @Behr

 

[hmanvolfan]

Wrong

We used to have a local place, Redbones, that had the best battered cheese wedges. It was the restaurant’s own recipe. I loved those things to the point I tried to replicate it, tried being the operative word. When they shut down, It was the only reason I stopped at the O’Charlie’s in Cookville, on my way to Nashville.

Good deal. I was just wondering. I usually get it at Sam's, but the past few times it hasn't been as good as it used to be. I didn't buy any the last time I was up there.

One of the biggest things I miss most about Memphis, is eating the best Q in the world.

Liked the onions in it. I’m partial to savory. The Louisiana sirloin is actually really good when they cook it right
