Saturday Night Retro

LAST WEEK on the ‘Retro’ I got my Disco groove on with Patrick Hernandez and “Born To Be Alive”. It’s one of my all-time favourite hits from the “Studio 54” era.

THIS WEEK we keep it ‘Retro’, but we fast-forward in time by exactly a decade. It’s 1989, and America is prosperous, peaceful, and happy. President George H.W. Bush is following the legacy of President Ronald W. Reagan and staying the course. The Cold War is done and over with. The Berlin Wall is crumbling to pieces. We’re watching “The Cosby Show” and “Cheers” on TV on Thursday nights. We’re listening to Fine Young Cannibals, Milli Vanilli, New Kids On The Block, Paula Abdul, and Roxette on the radio. Me – I’m dancing like a total maniac to this # 1 club smash at Cafe Iguana in Kendall and Confetti’s in North Miami Beach:

The Good Vs. Bad Chronicles: Denny’s

GOOD ! – Just 2.5 miles south and west of my Homestead home lies a tiny piece of paradise in the heart of Florida City‘s Useless-One commercial district that I like to call – ‘Denny’s‘. Florida City is where all of the food is, and Denny’s is where I eat it all.

BAD ! – HMMM … I can’t think of anything right now. Give me a moment.

GOOD ! – I enjoyed the Moons Over My Hammy®. Dude – It’s a ham and scrambled egg sandwich with Swiss and American cheese on grilled sourdough. It’s even more delicious than it sounds !  YEAHZZZ !

BAD ! – OK I just thought of something rather lame. My sandwich came with hash browns. They were quite yummy too, but I wish that Denny’s served corned beef hash. I dig that grub !

GOOD ! – Excellent customer service (as usual). It’s not fancy or anything like that, but they take really good care of you there.

BAD ! – If you’re driving southbound on Useless-One then you can’t get to Denny’s unless you make a U-Turn and head back northbound briefly.

GOOD ! – I watched a cool show LIVE while eating. Out front it was a steady migration of motorcyclists (hundreds of them) heading southbound towards The Florida Keys. There must be a convention goin’ on down there this weekend. Yeah Right !
