Blue Parrott--When I was very young, we would go there for Sunday brunch after church. I think it around the S. MacGregor area probably where 288 now runs. Hebert's Ritz--In what is now Midtown. I want to say off of McGowan, but may have been closer to downtown. Cortes Deli--Started out on Alabama in a strip center off of Revere. Opened a second location in the "jinxed" location further east on Alabama across from the Menil parking lot (Jenny's Hideaway, Michaeline's, etc.). Then moved to corner of Feagan and Shepherd closing about 5 years ago. I would kill to be able to eat their migas again. Shakey's--I've seen a lot of references to pizza places, but don't think I've seen this one mentioned. Maxim's--both the old downtown location at Milam and Lamar and the newer one at Timmons/Richmond (where Tony's now holds forth). Well, at least you can now get the spread at Spec's. The Anchorage--best seafood restaurant in town in the 1970s. Located adjacent to what was the Hilton on 610 at TC Jester. Simply spectacular fried shrimp and fresh seafood flown in from all over the country. Rainbo Bakery at Astroworld--Mini loaves. Enough said. Western Kitchen--BBQ at the corner of Greenbriar and Richmond where Mykonos now operates. Glatzmeier's--both downtown and the location on Montrose between Chelsea and Banks. Burgerville#2--Times and Kelvin. Had totally forgotten about that one until I was almost through with this list. And would second the mentions of Kaphan's and Sonny Look's.
