Duke's in Artesia

Does anyone have a favorite restaurant that you ate at as a kid? My parents were divorced by the time I was 3, so my dad would pick us up every other weekend. We would go to places such as Carl's Jr. and Duke's. It is a great hamburger/everything place. Funny thing is, I used to order their huge bean and cheese burrito with no sauce. Today the kids were out of school for Veteran's Day, so Grandpa took us to Duke's for lunch. We sat in the same booth my brother and I used to sit at as kids. Some of the same people still work there (I think they own it) after 20 + years. The kids loved their burgers, fries and sodas. What a treat! This is not a usual event, but Grandpa showed us a good time. He even talked and showed "push-ups" with Perry (what muscles are being worked out). Since Perry is taking PE at school (my Dad being a retired middle school PE teacher), he can ask Grandpa all his questions.

I love that your dad was a PE teacher and shared all his insights with Perry! Too cute!

I remember Bob's Big Boy and what a treat that was to go to. I don't think there are many of those left anymore.

Thanks for the dog comment! It was great to hear a positive story.
