Just won't feel like Oshkosh without that grand old brick tower...



ATC museum, complete with tower?
Multi level observation decks? (Some inside, and air-conditioned)
The Old Tower restaurant?

Actually, Zaug's food is very good when it's fresh. They do better than
expected, for example, with french fries.

Problem is, it's rarely fresh.

That's sort of like the claim (common around 100 years ago in the U.S.) that a
particular physician was a great doctor when he was sober.

Is their specialty fresh beef and aged fish?
Or aged coffee and fresh wine?

Linda and I have created a new Guide Michelin rating syatem for bad
restaurants: tread marks. It gose from zero to eighteen and is a
negative award,

If a restaurant serves canned friur or vegatables, it an automatic
treadmark. Greasy food is another, etc.

Cracker Barell gets about 3; anything advertising "country cookin" or
"good eatin" gets a provisional 2.

Have fun with this one!

I have lived in the South 10 years and consider it to be pretty much a
culinary wasteland. I can't fathom the taste for grease, canned veggies
or overcooked veggies.

To be honest...I've only had BAD food from them once. Most of it isn't too
terrible (standard mass produced fare). Especially considering that it's
either that or a cold $5 McDonald's quarterpounder.

One thing I'd give them praise Zaug's for is the soft serve ice
cream.....WOW! That's a requisite stop for my crew at least 3 times during
that week.

Agreed. Their ice milk rocks on a 100 degree day!

BTW, that ain't "cream" -- the stuff comes in a big bag that looks just like
latex paint. Which isn't surprising, since the ingredients are identical --
just in different proportions.
