I should add, sadly, that the Pullet Surprise restaurant no longer exists, but that the Pulitzer Prize winning Charlotte Observer, also known as Pravda West, or as the Red Rag of Tryon Street, does.

Remember the Pickwick (?) restaurant in Atlanta whose proprietor went
on to become one of the weirdest governors Georgia ever had, Lester
Maddox?  Rather than a painting of hisself hanging under the Rotunda,
he ordered a lifesize color enlargement from the photo lab I worked at.
It hung in the state capitol until he left office, then was hidden away
forevermore.
