Every day except Sunday we had Lehr’s – fine food many different ways – never was there anything better than after the game french fries. It is my understanding that Lehr’s is no longer part of the Augusta dining scene.

For me at least – and for many others – Sunday was usually Dairy Queen day. Still have not found a burger that competes with my memories of the ones at DQ over the years – and for me there was always the Coke freeze – ask for that at other places and in other towns and you really get some funny and curious looks.

From the early days – Ballinger’s Cafeteria – later on got to know their wonderful catering service even in Wichita.

And of course – Dariette and Miller’s Five – depending on which part of town you were in.

I believe Pizza Hut finally arrived about year before my high school graduation – and – then even later McDonald’s found their way to Augusta.

I remember the A&W very well – but I don’t remember when it became part of our local cuisine – but – that root beer in those chilled mugs – hard to beat!

And I must not overlook the Taco Tico – do those still exist in Kansas?

I also remember a pizza place on the south side of Seventh as you came into town – but I don’t recall the name – and – a Subway on the north side of Seventh after going through the light at State Street.

Would love to here from those of you who are still there about what to expect when we come to Augusta for the Class of 1965 50 Year Reunion next year – and – also some of the places that I missed or have come and gone since I was last there over ten years ago.

Bon Appetit!
