I was sorting through some papers last week when I came upon an old business card: The Wig Wag.

It's been almost 60 years since I've been in that place, enjoying a hamburger and a root beer. My friend Eric owned the place with his wife Hazel. He served the customers while Hazel cooked those juicy hamburgers in the back kitchen.

I have great memories of the Wig Wag as well as Eric's other restaurants. I first met him at the Kowbell Kitchen...
