Journeys With Food and the End of K&W

A frequent visitor to my Tik Tok For You Page is Dylan Huynh who apparently eats food for a living.

Nice gig, if you can get it.  

He posts videos on trying various kinds of restaraunts:

• diners along Route 66.
• comparing chain breakfast places (IHOP vs. Waffle House vs. Cracker Barrel, etc etc)
• fast food restaraunts 
• knock offs of fast food restaraunts 
• theme restaurants

And so on and so forth. Dylan's videos are fun and I appreciate his enthusiasm even if a particularly eatery does not meet his expectations.  

Here is a video Dylan making comparisons of the most expensive buffets in Las Vegas.

I wonder if cafeterias count as buffets.

If so, I would have been interested in Dylan's assessment of K&W.

But sadly that will not be happening now.

After being in business for 88 years, K&W shut down immediately as of Monday, December 1st.  

I really feel sad that K&W is gone.

I feel bad that I have not eaten at K&W in what, maybe over 25 years or so? 

I remember K&W being very cost effective and with a nice selection of different kinds of food.

Of course, with theTirzepatide injection I now take each week curbing my appetite, I'm not sure how far I would get out of K&W's extensive and varied serving line. 

I remember one factor that caused me some stress going to K&W was the "Whachermeat" lady. As you advanced through the line, a woman responsible for doling out whatever meat was on the menu, she would call out "Whachermeat" to people back in the line before you could see what the meat was.

My wife Andrea grew up in Greensboro and frequently dined at K&W with her grandparents when she was a child.  So the loss of K&W is particularly poignant for her.    

When I used to go to K&W, I was among the youngest people there.  

Now that I've aged into the average demographic for K&W customers, they are no longer around.

Well, that's kind of a bummer.

And I'm sorry Dylan Huynh won't get to try it. I would've loved to hear his review of K&W.
