We are traditionists. If we do something the same annual date more than twice we have
met the requirement for doing the tradition thing.
Black-eyed
peas is a must on New Year's Day. That may not be a tradition, that is a living
requirement.
I remember
for several years it was prime rib at George's Steak House on old Atlanta Road,
aka West Atlanta Street on New Year's Eve.
We did that several years until we got a bad meal and the tradition
ended. Another time for several years it
was another steak house every New Year's Eve and they went out of business and
that changed that.
Our latest
annual kick is Oyster Cafe on the 4-Lane north of Kennesaw. We have been going there on New Year's Eve Day several years. We rolled back our celebrated New Year's Eve dinner
earlier because there are too many drunks on the road that evening. Statistically, one out of every four drivers
is drunk .
The Oyster
Cafe used to be Oyster King. I don't
think Oysters are even the most requested dish there. It is their jumbo shrimp deep-fried in a
batter they perfected.
It is owned
and operated by a Korean family. When
the name was Oyster King it was a little ex-Waffle House looking dump.
Then it
burned down.
After a few
years it rose from its ashes and became the main establishment of a little
shopping center just across the vacant lot from their old spot.
They usually
have one Asian waitress and one red-neck waiter/waitress who sometimes can
communicate with the customer better.
