"And what exactly are 'disco fries,' the Tick Tick's top item? ...French fries smothered in mozzarella cheese and brown gravy."

I'm new here and browsing through found this thread. Now I have plans to visit some of these places as checking out diners has been a favorite thing for me to do. They are so much fun and take me back to some good old days.
 
Does anyone know if the photo of the Sugar&Spice restaurant is of the one in Cincinnati ?

At one time, there were a few around town. Now, only [what I believe to be the original] is the only one open.
I'm surprised actually, as it is in a 'not-so-good' part of town. They always did have good food, as such I always wondered why the other locations closed ?

It was on Reading road in Cincinnati and from what I can see it still exists in a more modern looking pink building on Reading Road.

That's the one I'm talking about, haven't been there in years.

There was [@ one time] another in Fairfax, closer too me as I have for years lived on the east side of Cincy. Used to eat there quite a bit.

Anyone remember the diner inside Woolsworth? I remember the yummy club sandwiches
and banana splits [three different flavor ice cream dips with different toppings covered in
whipped cream with a cherry on top between two sides of a banana.] They would have balloons.
If you wanted a banana split, you would choose a balloon, they would bust it and the small piece
of paper inside revealed your special discount.

I liked the grilled hot dogs in a toasted New England style bun with mustard and fluorescent green sweet pickle relish!
 
Why oh why did we ever give in and let these places be replaced by a place that serves what they claim as food...stuffed in a bag ?

I am BTW quite likely the only man in America that has eaten at McDonalds only once. I went to a new one opened in a suburb of Cincinnati back in 1967 . Haven't eaten there since. I do stop for coffee only,...on occasion .
