Back in the day Shoney's was the place to go for a great meal. As a kid it was a special event when you went. Then like most restaurant chains Corporate Executives kept cutting and cutting until the food was anything but enjoyable. Recently, we visited a local Shoney's and I was quite surprised! It was very close to the old days. The Slim Jim was fresh and piled high ... the onion rings were crisp. And the Hot Fudge cake was just as I remember them as a child (just smaller). So if you still have a Shoney's in your neighborhood (there are not many left) stop by and give them a try. ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
