We drank at a closed down Pizza Hut in high school. We actually had a couch in the parking lot. Well the fast kids did. And I would try to hang out there by flirting with the boys. One kid who was particularly bad was called Taco. His probation officer would show up and tell him when it was time to go home because he had a court imposed curfew. Taco is no longer with us.
They called themselves PHC. Pizza Hut Crew. I would write it all over my notebooks. My poor mom, guys.

Ground Round and Friendly's with my grandparents was where it was at. Sometimes though we would go to BK because they had to get their old people fish sandwiches. Omg you are spot on with the grandparents and bk fish sandwiches. Every single time.

it was a BFD when we got an Applebee's. And my father talked my mother into going there for dinner once and she was absolutely incensed that an entree cost $10 and didn't even come with soup or salad. We were used to the greek diners where you got soup, salad, a huge portion of fish and chips, and jello or rice pudding for like....$4.50 LOL for my parents' anniversary one year we went to Fleming's. My dad bitched the whole time the food didn't come with sides. STFU Dad, I'm paying the bill. They most frequently eat at Senate Coney Island so you can see what an affront this was.

We might be alone in this and our love of Taco Bell. no I absolutely love Taco Bell. Love. They have a new taco on the menu starting on Thursday I think and it's only $1. I bet you can guess what's for dinner on Thursday.

I made the mistake of going to a Sizzler about a year ago. I hyped it up to my kid and he was very shruggy guy about the experience.
Then we all had stomach issues a few hours later.

Our usual Sunday was going to Zachary’s pizza or McDonald’s and then hitting up Ames. If it was nice out, we would stop at the playground of the rich town’s school and run around.

In junior high, I took a cross-stitch class as an elective. I made a cross-stitch portrait of this boy I called Wheels.
He was a dirty grunge kid who was in a wheelchair and for some reason, I had a massive crush on him. I worked for days to get his likeness just right. And then I gave the portrait to him one day after school.
He still ignored me after that.
The weirdest part is that I'm 99.9% sure he didn't actually go to my school...he just showed up sometimes in the hallways after school.

We went to Ponderosa a few years ago on the way home from BFE WV. It wasn't great, but I was a hangry pregnant lady, and DS1 was young enough to eat for free, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anytime we went out to eat it was at Pizza Hut. It’s the only place my mom would go. So we’d go to the big city to go shopping and then to Pizza Hut and omg what a day.

Speaking of fish sandwiches, I have always thought the only people who ate at Captain D's are grandparents (and their grandkids), so it cracks me up that every time we visit my ILs, my FIL suggests Captain D's for dinner. He perfectly fits the image in my head of who eats there.

I ate for the first time in a sit down Pizza Hut two summers ago in IN with my MIL and SIL after getting our nails done for a wedding.
Sizzler was the BIG deal dinner out for us as kids...on Tuesdays, when kids ate free.

Oh I miss sitting in an actual Pizza Hut. I point out "sit-down Pizza Huts" whenever we are road-tripping the same way that other people might point out historical landmarks. We like to point out all the current businesses that are in an old Pizza Hut building. That hat like roofline is so distinctive no matter what color it's painted.

Cher, did taco have red hair? He didn’t. Brown hair and as Nonniedee would say, racially ambiguous. He either made out with me or pretended I didn’t exist. Be still, my heart.

Its so funny what you love as a kid. I took my kids to cracker barrel recently and while the meal was gross to me, my kids thought it was the best food ever. And they really enjoy pizza hut...its what i get them when h and i do a separate dinner.

I always laugh about the stories I have that you all think are great, because I'm like "wasn't everyone an insecure 8th grader just wishing someone would kiss them" and by natural extension, why wouldn't you create cross-stitch projects to give to the dirty boys you'd think you might have a shot with?
