According to Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickerson_Farms
...the chain went out of business in the early 1980s. But I found blogs of people who go into abandoned Nickerson Farms restaurant buildings that have not been occupied by another business in all these decades out of nostalgia and to document things. Each restaurant had its own hives and used and sold its own honey!

On my Pennsic trip, summer 2007, i ended up eating with surprising (to me) frequency in Cracker Barrel restaurants and drinking (may the gods forgive me) St*****ks coffee. Cracker Barrel wasn't bad - better than some other lauded chains i tried - and better than the truck stops i ate in. Boy, has truck stop food gone downhill in the past 30 years. I think, i hope, i've finished doing penance for drinking that coffee.

I recently got a laptop computer, so if there is a next time (still saving for a replacement vehicle), i hope i can track down local restaurants where i end up and avoid most chains.
