The first time I tried the Sunday buffet at Dayton Coffee Shop in downtown Dayton, Tenn., I took the advice of friends who eat there all the time and ordered the child-size portion of my chicken and dressing. And it was plenty. Really it was.
But it still didn’t stop me from grabbing my fork and asking,” You gonna eat that?” not once but twice, when Mama and then Aunt Bob didn’t clean their plates.
Was I really that hungry? Probably not.
Would it have been a crime for the Geezers to leave such good food behind? Definitely yes.
