"8. "Skippers! They were like a Long John Silver's, but over the top kitschy with ship decor, fishing nets, etc. Also, Gigglebee's! It was a weird version of a Chuck E. Cheese, but the creature would deliver your pizza on a tricycle!" -Anonymous, 37, North Dakota 14. "The Magic Pan. They had a location in Littleton, Colorado. Oh, all the different crepes, they were so good! This was back in the '70s." -Oron 65, Iowa 15. "Living in Portland, Oregon, Farrell's ice cream parlor, hands down, is my #1." 16. "Bishops Buffet. There were several buffets in Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska, that I knew of. You could pick out what you wanted and then pay. The food was good. Was always busy." -Anonymous"
