Gen X Candy and "Fine" Dining
Update: 2025-09-10
Description
Let's eat, Slackers!
This episode is simple: Candy & Restaurants. That's it. That's the topic.
I rediscovered one of my all time favorite candy bars, the mighty 5th Avenue and that led us here.
I also came across a closed restaurant storefront and started thinking back to the places that 6 year old me would have thought were "fancy" dining. You know, like Sizzler or Ponderosa. Ever have a Ponderosa steak on a Sunday after church? Well I sure did, and it was glorious.
There's so much tension in the world - why not just talk about candy and food? Oh, yeah, and tonight I had another seldom talked about candy bar that was a pretty big deal in 1987!
