<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi John, everyone,<br><br>I do agree that our waitress at Zekes was excellent. she always remembered that i ordered tea. She may be the main reason why the place is still in business. Having never noticed a person in there that I could identify as an owner or manager, I have to wonder about how they do manage the business. <br><br>But to say to a group of people that come in on a monthly basis, that they can't order in pizza (since the cooks went home) identifies Zekes as a place that must be able to make money despite itself --- and we are loyal to this place because???<br><br>Cheers<br><br>John<br><br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><div style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial;"><font size="2">Fewer things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good

agree (not sure about the prices though) and it seems closer for those on foot.

I think that's a great idea, but I've only seen one other place do that, Morty's Pub.
