Beaumont Cuisine in the 50s

The 50s were my adolescent years from 4 thru 14. We were a blue collar family without excess cash to spend on dining out. Here are some of the dining establishments that stick in my mind.

There were three Pig Stands, wonderful name. They each had inside dining areas as well as car hop service. The Pig Stand was my Dad’s go to place for breakfast pancakes. He taught me the difference between a short stack and a tall stack while breaking our fast on a Saturday morning at the Pig Stand. They made superb burgers and chocolate malts. I guess the fries were not very notable.
