dem cakes this sat?

[Hell Puppy]

A couple of things come to mind while reading the thread...

First off, we dont ALWAYS have to do midnight. A normal dinnertime someplace mid-ways is a nice change of pace....also means we might be able to get some folks who dont normally come out on the vampire shift. Maybe once a quarter.

That opens up the list GonZo posted. I would also be game for a dinner someplace nice periodically, we haven't had a Fogo or similar throw down in a while.

And I dont think I can name 10, but I can name most of the food that's open at midnight around the burbs:

Marietta Diner
Landmark Diner Jr. (Roswell at 285)
Multiple IHOPs (some not group friendly)
Georgia Diner (near gwinnett place, one of my faves)
3 million Waffle Houses (none are group friendly)
A half dozen or so Steak n' Shakes
Denny's (only one I know of is JCB at 85)
Multiple Taco Macs
Garrisons (full menu til at least midnight)
Intercontinental Hotel (high end 24 hour dining, with blow job friendly booths)

Hey, I did hit 10!

I wouldn't mind alternating with Georgia Diner every other time or even every third or fourth time. Very similar menu, very group friendly...I know that would make myself and Jace happy as it's on our side of town.

There's also a new diner in Roswell that is "open late", but sign doesn't say "how late" that GonZo and I need to scout. Food must be good as it's been packed the couple of times we've noticed it. That's pretty centralized as well (near Holcomb Bridge and 400).

if anyone is up for it, taco mac's are great places to meet up earlier

the one by my house is never very crowded either

maybe one night we can all meet up there, they have great food and drinks

we can plan that later down the road though

I will be there at Dem Cakes Saturday at 9pm. This has been an interesting thread for sure.
Maybe on Saturday we can discuss other options. If YOU have someplace different you want to try throw into the mix it is an easy thing to do. Just get the details of that particular location and bring it to the table. You may get shot down, but at least you tried!

I live alone and relish the times I can have a meal with anyone else other than Tivo. I do not mind driving anywhere and I am up for suggestions and recommendations for dining options.

I like new places and food... and long walks in the rain, puppies and bad boys.

Happy Friday

Good reference, but no ode to the JYD here.

We haven't splained it lately, so I will again explain why we call it "dem cakes".

It's actually the Marietta Diner, it's a place out in the northwestern burbs that is open 24/7. They have a huge menu and serve everything on it all day. They even have booze. But one of the most striking features is as soon as you walk in the door their dessert cases are on display. Notice i said "cases", plural. At any given time there may be 50 or more desserts to choose from including tons of cakes and pies.

Now being 24/7, one reason we love to eat there is the entertainment factor. Great place to people watch on a friday/saturday night about the time the bars start closing.

On one of our very first visits after discovering the place, as we're waddling out after a huge breakfast, this classic southern redneck teen hottie comes in with assistance of her boyfriend who is helping keep her vertical. She's drunk off her ass and looks like the type of girl who is used to being fed out of a fast food bag before bumping uglies in the backseat and may have never been to a place where you sit down to order before.

Anyhow, we meet up with this as we're walking out and she's walking in the door and the first thing out of her mouth as she hits the door in a classic southern redneck twang is "looooook at dem cakes!" Now I cant really do it justice in writing, but suffice to say that the way she said it, "cakes" had at least 3 syllables.

Ever since then, we simply refer to the joint as "dem cakes".

Did I know this? Hell, Kathi, her sister and I could have boozed up instead of shopping at Walmart waiting for you guys one night.
