Today is National Chinese Takeout Day.
This button available on Redbubble.
Here are a few takeout/restaurant buttons (most from my personal collection).
Vintage Burger King button.
Vintage McDonald’s button.
Popcorn used to be my takeout snack from Target, but they don’t have machines anymore.
I don’t remember what restaurant advertised with this button or campaign. Maybe Lynne does. Same applies to this one. Maybe the Omelet Shoppe?
Vintage Arby’s button. Ironic, since I never ate their roast beef sandwiches.
Guessing somebody grabbed this button for me back when the peach shake was introduced by Chick-fil-A in 1995.
Vintage button from Morrison’s Cafeteria chain, which originated in Alabama, expanded throughout the Southeast, and now is closed down. Though I eventually overcame a childhood fear of cafeterias and ate at Morrison’s, Picadilly, and Luby’s, these days meals I don’t cook are only takeout, not dine-out, for me. And the single item that still comes home to me on a regular basis is liquid…
Do you have a favorite kind of takeout or a favorite Chinese takeout menu item? My default is cashew chicken, though I’ve been known to choose sweet and sour chicken, too.
Omelet is probably from huddle house. Orange was their color
Pie o Rama might be from Shoney’s
I actually thought about Huddle House, but couldn’t remember much about it. I liked my breakfasts from the Sawmill and Shoney’s, or in Tuscaloosa, my weekly coffee dates at what was then called Sambo’s. Of course, post-drinking, there was Keb’s for a while and in Tuscaloosa, Krystal. =)
The Hardees Monopoly (In Squires “food court” anyway) on Virginia Tech Campus in Blacksburg, VA had good peach shakes. They were made with chunks of peaches mixed in, so you might get a suggestion of real peaches.
I’d probably like that.
