[09:31] Morning [12:09] Morning peoples,dogs, turkeys and everything else [12:14] morning === yoda_van is now known as jedijf === Pici` is now known as Pici [14:49] ssweeny: driver just got back from visiting brother in pittsburgh - he has question - why no *diners* in pittsburgh? [14:49] any yinzer feel free to comment [14:49] there are some [14:49] a few in the city [14:50] one in the town where i grew up [14:50] they're not everywhere [14:50] not eat and parks - a real diner [14:50] what is name of your hometown and the diner there [14:50] ssweeny: ^^^ [14:51] oakdale, the oakdale diner [14:51] ok - qualified [14:51] awesome soft serve at the twist n' shake behind it [14:52] ssweeny: do you know if it's Greek owned? [14:52] extra level of validation [14:53] i don't know [15:14] jedijf: I like Eat 'n Park [15:26] eat n park [15:26] best cookies in the mf world [15:26] always on our way home from pittsburg we grab a few boxes [15:31] There was one in Lancaster for a long time but they were replaced by a bank. :-/ [15:43] * jedijf never had 'eat n park' [15:43] really? i mean [15:43] it's not much [15:43] but the cookies... [15:53] Around the time I graduated high school Eat 'n Park was the place to be at 2am. Their parking lot would always be packed. [15:54] times sure have changed, eh gramps? [15:54] eat n' park is the place for smiles [15:54] :-p [15:55] I never figured out which definition of "park" is being used in Eat 'n Park. Park like park a car? Or park like amusement park? [15:55] Park 'n Eat more like [15:55] i always assumed that [15:56] they styled themselves after those diners where you eat in your car for a while [15:57] oh... http://www.eatnpark.com/aboutus.asp [15:57] It was a gimmick to distinguish themselves. [15:59] Like the Freeze and Frizz near where I lived. Someone else bought them out and weren't allowed to use the name so they changed it to Frizz and Freeze. [16:03] there's a knockoff rita's near the city [16:03] in wyndmoore or something [16:04] Does it taste like Ritas? [16:04] no idea. looks like it [16:04] I think it used to be a ritas [16:06] Must be a sad day when your italian ice stand can't afford the Ritas franchise fee anymore. [16:07] I'm fairly certain they make a killing [16:08] the poor family run ice cream shop in manayunk on ridge is half a block from ritas [16:08] can't imagine they are doing to well. [16:17] personally I'd rather go to a family-run ice cream shop than rita's [16:18] water ice gives me a headache :( [16:20] me too. but that isn't the same for the rest of the populace [16:40] Sugar overload? [17:28] MutantTu1key: i think you mean the one in mt airy - used to be a ritas now brand x up on stenton ave [17:29] * jedijf misses Salerno's Italian Ice on limekiln pike in glenside [17:29] might be that one [17:30] there's a bad knockoff on welsh rd in maple glen - joe's [17:31] just got off the phone with a client who also owns a Rita's [17:31] interesting [17:31] I'd love to own one [17:31] ChinnoDog: it's more the cold than the sugar [17:32] MutantTu1key: they're like a license to print money during the summer [17:32] Ideally I'd like to own a McDonalds [17:32] MutantTu1key: he and his wife own a Rita's and a Stewart's Root Beer (about 8 miles apart) [17:33] Stewarts? [17:33] does anyone go there? [17:33] Stewart's KICKS ass [17:33] Stewies! [17:33] think old school Sonic [17:33] it's a long drive from where I live [17:34] I'm not a Sonic fan. The burgers are tasty, but I don't like eating in my car. [17:34] MutantTu1key: claude2 was talking about the same concept(different name - Weber's) in the PLUG channel last week [17:34] both are my clients - and buddies [17:35] I'd take McDonalds anyday [17:35] i had a short en*fat*uation with the 24 hour sonics and 7am Coneys [17:38] http://www.stewartsrestaurantsinc.com/History.html [17:38] the top 2 photos on the left are one of my clients - and tuckerton on the bottom too! [17:58] interesting [18:59] new idea: local air delivery in philadelphia [18:59] I'll buy a few UAV's, and provide a delivery service for all objects under five pounds or something [19:00] forgot your phone? just tell your wife to leave it on the front step and have it delivered to your window === MutantTu1key is now known as MutantTurkey
