Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for February 24, 2022

…..and it’s the only place in town.

…She doesn’t eat at The Roost. That’s the secret, at least to her longevity..

As good an excuse as any.

I wonder if she uses the Carbon-Dioxide type. or one of the chemical types. Those powders used in the chemical extinguishers might, just might, leave a flavor in Roz’s cooking.

The complimentary antacid tablets served with every meal?

It’s an original. Original grease still in the fryer, 40 year old aged mold in the refrigerator, same ol’ customers molting at the counter.

Well, ‘Shoe’, you have just made sure that you will receive a ‘double dose’ of ’Roz’s’ special ingredients in you lunch today ! ! ! ! !

It was a sad day, just a couple of years ago, that they finally closed The Harmony Lunch, a joint where my grandfather used to eat – pork burgers with fried onions. The hardwood floors and dark oak bar and shelves were original 1930. All one room, the grill was right beside the tables & round, chrome barstools. The generous milkshakes came together with the metal mixer.

She gets it checked and charged on a regular basis.

Well, Roz sure has kept the ambulance EMTs busy with her “take-out” specials. No wonder an ambulance station went up nearby her place.

They are lucky I’m not Roz. I would put Ex-Lax in their beef stew.

That Roz’s cooking sure is the pits, I tell ya!

Good writers who keep audiences.

Roz puts the “burn” in heartburn!
