On a side note:
Shoney's is a restaurant 'all you can eat' chain (well they were back then, not sure if they have changed). We were going in as a family, all as large or large then Christie was coming out. My then 7-year-old son stated after they past us:
"I bet Shoney's lost money on that family"
Sizzler would feel the same way after a Christie visit.
“Shoney’s”...
I fondly remember their “Big Boy” dbl-cheeseburgers back in the 50s, where my Family would stop after Sunday Church. Good burgers & fries.
