This reminds me of one of my favorite restaurants in Alabama. The Cotton Patch had (or maybe still does?) waitresses dressed up like Aunt Jemima. I can’t remember waiters. They served the best onion rings which were more like shoestrings.
When my BFF married, her reception was at a prominent country club. All the wait staff were black. It’s not something I ever noticed until hubby started pointing it out. He was such an agitator. LOL Hubby grew up in a very white Midwestern small town. If there were any black persons invited to the wedding, I can’t recall. There may have been a few invited by the groom. He wasn’t the one with the country club affiliation. hah There was a restaurant that I often went to with my BFF’s family. All the kitchen staff were black. All the waitresses were white. The bussers were young black males. I bet the place is the same today as it was when I was born and when I was last there 21 years ago.
May I ask, what is a BFF?
