GRAND? RE-OPENING
DESCRIPTION: Food good as always. A great drive-in. But, a 1/4 chicken box is supposed to have 2 pieces of chicken. For some reason, the lady that served me said "I don't know how many pieces the quarter box used to have, but it only has one piece now."

Famous Poor Boy Hamburgers
DESCRIPTION: I lived in Lexington in the 50's and their Poor Boy hamburgers were GREAT. Whenever I visit family back in Lex, I always go to Parkette for their Poor Boy. They are almost as good as they used to be. It is one of the few places left, that still has Car Hops. However, be sure you go before you leave the house, because the restrooms are rather humble.

Kaelin's: A Tradition in Good Eating
DESCRIPTION: For the past 14 years I've come from California to Indy for the 500. One of my trips is to go south to Looeyville to eat at Kaelin's. I was told that Col. Sanders formulated his "herbs & spices" while working in Kaelin's kitchen. True or not, the chicken has always been delicious. For me, it was at first the cheeseburger plate, in honor of their claim to have invented the sandwich in '34. Later the fried chicken breast with potato salad, and still later the chicken salad sandwich with potato salad. Everything is good! Service is excellent and the ambience is fitting for this old time family restaurant. I'm coming again this May, and I can already taste the chicken! k
