  1. I worked at Western Travelers from 1981 until it burnt down in 1984. I was the steak cook. I started there when the Walls owned it and then George Burton and family took over. I do very much remember Frank and the day I had heard he died. As a college project i repainted his big Mercury. Orginally it was a yellowish color, he wanted it gold with a metal brown accents along the bottom half. I remember rosie, mel, eve, snookie. After the fire everyone to my knowledge drifted away. I eventually joined the army and now work as a mechanic living in San Antonio. I remember the 99's, 9 scrimp and oysters and the 88's, an 8 oz serlion steak. I have many many good memories there, although it was alot of hard work I started as a weekend dishwasher and was accepted to be steak cook once Snerk left. I loved making the BBQ brisket, we had our own recipe. I still use it today. What a cast of characters, from the bus boys, the waitresses, the kitchen staff and management. Lunchtime was always busy, weekends were no different, many times lines of people out the door. Especially when we had the t-bone specials. I remember in the aftermath of hurricane Alicia when we stayed open eventhough we didn't have electricity or lights. What an icon of the community, an icon of the era and a history that will live on. Want to express appreciation for all the hard working people, our customers and those just passing through for a hometown meal. God bless ya'll.
