All our food, aside from things delivered from outside venders like ground beef patties, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and so forth, came from either the steakhouse or the bakery. Those areas were behind us, and the public entries were outside the main gate. Our restaurant was inside the park, across from the blacksmith shop. It was called the Burger Wagon before it was revamped into the Ghost Town Grill.
We got cornbread from the bakery, and loaves of bread we sliced with a machine in our small kitchen. There was a large insulated freezer in the back of the bakery where we’d get the boysenberry tarts. There was a heavy jacket on a hook to wear while inside.
Roast beef came from the bakery area too. It was basically a large boneless rib roast, that we pulled from warmers. We sliced it up for the BBQ and beef and green chili sandwiches. When it was fresh and warm it was delicious.
Had a great time back then. Dated a couple of the waitresses. To be young again...
That’s very interesting.
I used to go to this place in San Diego in sort of an industrial area. Perry’s Cafe and it was a big place probably an old Denny’s or something and they had a lot of waitresses in there that wore tracksuits and they could carry four plates and two pots of coffee, they worked really hard in there and they have like a hundred different omelettes in the place was buzzing every morning I ever went there.
But there was a framed autographed 8x10 glossy by the cash register of Martin Milner and Kent McCord. I asked about it and was told that back when the show was active they would come in there quite frequently when they were filming in the local area.
Here’s a history of Ricky Nelson’s DC-3, it was a bit different than I had heard it in the past but it still had a bit of History. I thought you all might be interested.
Back in the early to mid 60’s we would go up to Kamloops BC and do some fishing too!
Another place we like to go was just over the border and it was Chilliwack. The first time I ever was there was with a junior drum line and we were marching in a parade in Chilliwack and a competition. We used to go back yo Chilliwack quite a bit as it was only a couple hundred miles north of us.
Later on in the 70s there was a band called Chilliwack and I just had to have the album, they were kind of a rock act, wasn’t too bad either.
