Oops. You two have better memories than I do. You are correct, what
I was thinking of is as you describe it Adamantius, and was known as
a "bucket" rather than a "barrel".

Like Roy Rogers Roast Beef, that I think must have got bought out
by Arby's. But it was better. And I remember a nice Fish and Chips
place. The first time I had malt vinegar. I wish I could get some
nice fish and chips around here, with or without the fake British
veneer.

Was this simply a fried chicken place? Or was this some kind of
