Mojo in the Morning Show. So it's funny how when kids are kids that they look towards certain restaurants as being kind of fancy. And Mike's daughter Cecily's taste in restaurants has gone way up now to a point where Mike, for the daddy-daughter dance, you used to be able to take her to Big Boy. Now you have to take her somewhere fancier, huh?

00:02:25 - 00:03:25 | Speaker 7:

Yeah, we used to go to Big Boy before we even went to daddy-daughter dances. Because if I'm being very, very real, we just didn't have, like, a ton. We had a house that was falling apart. We didn't have a ton of money to go out, and we were in a different place in our life. So, like, when we would go out, we'd take them to, like, Big Boy. And that was kind of our going out thing. And she thought for the longest time that this place was fancy. And, you know, it had all these, it had a giant statue when you walked in of this big guy. And we took a picture with it every time we walked in. And she got to pick whatever she wants on the menu. And there was always, you know, treats afterwards. And so that was fancy. So when we started going to daddy-daughter dances, that's where she wanted to go immediately. That's what she knew. And so, yeah, that was, you know, we've done it almost every single year. And then this year, Miss Fang decided that Big Boy wasn't it anymore. It's not the spot anymore, Dad. I want to go to where you and Mommy went and go to Leo's. You guys, that's like a... It's a little more expensive. That was a $200 bill. I'll be very honest.

00:03:25 - 00:03:27 | Speaker 1:

Not Leo's Coney Island. No, no, no, no.

00:03:27 - 00:03:32 | Speaker 5:

Leo's is a big Coney Island chain here, so it's a fancy restaurant we learned last time you talked about this place.

00:03:32 - 00:03:35 | Speaker 7:

It's a really nice seafood restaurant.

00:03:35 - 00:03:40 | Speaker 9:

It's where my daughter wants to go for graduation after Grand Valley's. It's very good.

00:03:40 - 00:04:23 | Speaker 7:

I strongly recommend it, but it's like a once-in-a-while kind of place. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's like the graduation time for when you graduate from college, Cecily. Yes, yeah. And so she must have heard. What I'm guessing is Allie and her were talking, and it must have come up, like, where did you guys go on your Valentine's Day date? And, you know, that kind of stuff. And then we just went to hibachi a couple weekends ago, and that was fun. But, again, that's a little – that's not big boy. That's a little more pricier. That's a little more expensive. That's like a once in a while kind of thing. And her, I thought we would at least ride Big Boy out for at least a few more years. But it has changed. But do you remember the places you used to think you were fancy when you were a kid?

00:04:23 - 00:04:32 | Speaker 5:

Oh, yeah. Big Boy. Big Boy for me because that was where we were only allowed to have dessert at Big Boy. And if you got dessert, that was fancy.

00:04:32 - 00:04:57 | Speaker 9:

So for me, growing up is on the East Coast, but it was just like Big Boy. There was a chain of restaurants called Friendly's. Friendly's restaurants. I loved Friendly's. And they had a few around here, too. Yeah. But before I moved here after college, but growing up, that was the place you went on really special occasions, like you graduated eighth grade or maybe you won the Little League championship. So it was like you had to really celebrate. It was just a glorified Coney with ice cream.

00:04:57 - 00:05:15 | Speaker 1:

Yeah. Ours was. And it was really like when we. would go on vacation we would go to Perkins that band came out and Bennegan's because Bennegan's was like kind of dark inside and yeah oh yeah I don't think Bennegan's I remember that yes that

00:05:15 - 00:05:33 | Speaker 2:

was like real fancy vacation spot because through the eyes of an eight-year-old it's just something different and new my parents would never let us eat out never like I loved when my grandparents would watch us and on Thursdays in the summer because they would take us to McDonald's and And they'd always say, don't tell your mom. It was like our little secret.

00:05:33 - 00:05:38 | Speaker 3:

That's funny that McDonald's was also kind of like that with us, too, because we never had McDonald's.

00:05:38 - 00:05:38 | Speaker 2:

Yeah.

00:05:38 - 00:06:10 | Speaker 3:

And my aunt would always pick if my aunt would pick us up from school or whatever, she would take us to McDonald's. And that was like the thing. Now we go to McDonald's like, you know, we blow our nose. You know, it's weird to think to think that how, you know, it used to be kind of like that that place. 844-MOJO-LIVE 844-665-6548 or if you're at work you can text 95500 what was that that place that you remember that you'd go to the other one too is and the place that you know for us was Outback Steakhouse

00:06:10 - 00:06:13 | Speaker 2:

they had way too fancy

00:06:13 - 00:06:41 | Speaker 3:

they had nice knives yeah like that was like the place with the wooden handles and yes with the wooden handles and for us kids like the Outback Steakhouse on Orchard Lake Road was our go-to with the kids for like birthdays and things and the Bloomin' Onion. The kids thought it was the, it's funny, the kids thought it was the coolest looking thing but hated the taste of the thing unless you dipped it into the sauce that they had. That little like mayo sauce or whatever it was there. But that was kind of like the cool place.

00:06:42 - 00:06:47 | Speaker 2:

I think Outback was too expensive for my parents' taste, but Olga's, that would be one you might go to.

00:06:47 - 00:06:49 | Speaker 1:

Oh my gosh, I'm going to have to get it today.

00:06:49 - 00:06:50 | Speaker 2:

Snackers, as soon as you hear it.

00:06:50 - 00:06:53 | Speaker 1:

I just want some Snackers. Olga's is the best.

00:06:53 - 00:07:00 | Speaker 2:

They're doing a deal for Snack. I think it's free snackers all day with any purchase or something. Yeah, for International Women's Day. Wait a second.

00:07:01 - 00:07:09 | Speaker 3:

Really? We've got to talk about that. We've got to talk about the company. Oh, that just made me so happy. Is it just for International Women's Day that you're doing that? Yes.

00:07:10 - 00:07:12 | Speaker 2:

Everything's become so commercialized. I know, I know.

00:07:12 - 00:07:13 | Speaker 1:

I'm going. I know.

00:07:13 - 00:07:33 | Speaker 2:

Work for me. Well, and to be fair, they were founded, Olga, in a time where women were not business owners. And in fact, when Olga came up, women couldn't even get their own loan to buy a house without a man co-signing them. So to be honest, I understand why they're celebrating. I'm trying to find the email now. Hold on. Olga.

00:07:33 - 00:07:37 | Speaker 3:

I want to look at promotions and events offers on Women's Day. Let's find them for you.

00:07:37 - 00:08:17 | Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, because I love the places that – well, there was a great bot on Twitter last year that every time a company would tweet out International Women's Day wishes, the bot would automatically reply with their disparity in how much they pay women versus men in that company. Like, some guy created this bot, and it was awesome because they'd be like, happy International Women's Day, and then they would, underneath, and they would have sources and everything. It was so brilliant. Okay, here it is. Olga's Kitchen offers free snackers to celebrate International Women's Day. Oh, and announces grant opportunities for women entrepreneurs, much like Michigan honors its founder, Women Leaders Through Olga's Memorial Foundation. So there you go. There is something bigger there. There you go.

00:08:17 - 00:08:49 | Speaker 3:

I love this. I love it. Cereal. Cereal. Cheerios is offering a discount on International Women's Day. So they've got that. What do we got here? Hold on a second here. Make a donation for International Women's Day, and you get tacos at a taco place in California that's offering. Yeah. Two tacos for the price of one if you come in and mention International Women's Day. I do love that, though, when they come out. There's a way to commercialize everything.

00:08:49 - 00:08:58 | Speaker 2:

Yeah, like a company that will make its entire business profits off the back of women, and they'll be like, 30 cents off this yogurt that makes you poop. Congratulations, women.

00:08:59 - 00:09:02 | Speaker 3:

Jessica, what was your place that you guys would go to?

00:09:03 - 00:09:09 | Speaker 4:

It wasn't my place. It's my son's. He loves Beattie's. He thinks that's the most beautiful, awful place.

00:09:10 - 00:09:23 | Speaker 3:

Mongolian barbecue? Beatty's Mongolian Barbecue was great. That was another one, too. There was one right by Oakland University that we used to go to all the time, and it was always a celebratory time that we were going to that.

00:09:23 - 00:09:24 | Speaker 4:

Yeah, I can't believe that one closed, too.

00:09:25 - 00:09:30 | Speaker 3:

I know. Well, having a bunch of them closed, are there Beatty's Mongolian Barbecues in Toledo and Grand Rapids?

00:09:30 - 00:09:34 | Speaker 1:

There's one on Hall Road. There's one in Toledo. There is? At the Franklin Park Mall.

00:09:35 - 00:09:36 | Speaker 3:

Oh, my God. I love that place.

00:09:37 - 00:09:40 | Speaker 1:

I actually just went there a few weeks ago for the first time.

00:09:40 - 00:09:41 | Speaker 4:

It sounds so funny.

00:09:41 - 00:09:43 | Speaker 3:

Gail, what was yours?

00:09:43 - 00:09:45 | Speaker 4:

Oh, my God. This is embarrassing. Ponderosa.

00:09:50 - 00:09:51 | Speaker 2:

With the buffet.

00:09:51 - 00:09:55 | Speaker 4:

Yes. And bottomless ice cream. It was once a year when we went up north.

00:09:56 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 3:

For some reason, a steak from Ponderosa is better than a steak from Ponderosa.

00:10:00 - 00:10:01 | Speaker 1:

From like a fancy steakhouse

00:10:01 - 00:10:06 | Speaker 6:

We never splurged on the steak I always try

When I'm grilling at home To make the lines on the steak look like The lines on the one from Ponderosa Candice what was Your place?

00:10:26 - 00:10:32 | Speaker 2:

Candice did they always say in your house What they said in mind My mom would say We have hamburgers at home

00:10:32 - 00:10:38 | Speaker 7:

00:10:38 - 00:10:43 | Speaker 1:

00:10:43 - 00:10:46 | Speaker 7:

00:11:01 - 00:11:12 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, I was in the... I'm 53. This is in the 70s. I'd go to this place and... Because I went to Guardian Angels. We had school there. At any rate, it was Burger Chef. It was almost like a Burger King.

00:11:13 - 00:11:13 | Speaker 1:

Really?

00:11:13 - 00:11:14 | Speaker 5:

Did you guys hear that?

00:11:14 - 00:11:16 | Speaker 1:

It was... Where was that at? What town was it in?

00:11:17 - 00:11:20 | Speaker 5:

Is it Clawson or the border? Clawson or Royal Oak?

00:11:20 - 00:11:26 | Speaker 1:

And it was just a little like a mom-and-pop type local burger place that kind of was a fast food burger place.

00:11:26 - 00:11:28 | Speaker 3:

Do you guys ever remember going to a Ground Round?

00:11:28 - 00:11:29 | Speaker 1:

Ground Round, right?

00:11:29 - 00:11:42 | Speaker 3:

I remember that was so cool because it was kind of like a burger place. And whatever you weighed, that's how much your kid's meal was. So if you weighed, like, 72 pounds, your kid's meal was 72 cents.

00:11:42 - 00:11:44 | Speaker 1:

Oh, you didn't want me to go to that place.

00:11:45 - 00:11:54 | Speaker 5:

But to sign, there was a chef. It was a cartoon chef with a chef's hat on there. I'll never forget it. Yeah. 1979. The burger chef. I'm going to say something.

00:11:54 - 00:11:54 | Speaker 4:

Yeah.

00:11:54 - 00:12:00 | Speaker 5:

You know, yeah. But McDonald's now costs just as much as a steak. That's true. That is true.

00:12:01 - 00:12:10 | Speaker 1:

It's like $12 for a meal. Like, if you got a quarter pounder with cheese or a double quarter pounder with cheese meal, it's like a $12 meal right now.

00:12:10 - 00:12:16 | Speaker 5:

No, it's like $14 now. I'm not kidding. My daughter, like, I'm like, I can't do this.

00:12:16 - 00:12:20 | Speaker 2:

I finally turned into my parents because I'm saying, nope, I'll make you a cheeseburger at home.

00:12:20 - 00:12:22 | Speaker 1:

What's up, Gabby? What was yours?

00:12:23 - 00:12:35 | Speaker 6:

Our family always thought Olive Garden was so fancy. I don't know if it's the lighting, the Italian music they play, something about it. I thought it was the fanciest place ever. Oh, yeah. No, it's because you were family.

00:12:36 - 00:12:40 | Speaker 2:

Yeah. We're your family. And you get endless breadsticks.

00:12:40 - 00:12:43 | Speaker 1:

And Red Lobster was another one, too. Oh, yeah.

00:12:43 - 00:12:45 | Speaker 2:

You walk into Fish Tank in the waiting area.

00:12:46 - 00:12:53 | Speaker 1:

When you'd go into Red Lobster as a family, you'd walk into that place. You thought, because you only went there on somebody's birthday.

00:12:54 - 00:12:54 | Speaker 2:

Mm-hmm.

00:12:54 - 00:12:57 | Speaker 1:

You know? And you got the Cheddar Bay Biscuit.

00:12:57 - 00:13:19 | Speaker 2:

Oh, by the way, I'm not going to say I discovered this on my own, but you can just order a six-pack of those biscuits, and they'll have them ready for you when you walk in. Really? Yeah, just to get them to go. Really? Yeah. I have a friend of mine. I had one next to that apartment during divorce times. I would just eat a whole bag of Cheddar Bay biscuits by myself in my little apartment.

00:13:19 - 00:13:32 | Speaker 1:

I have a friend of mine that just door dashes those for the asides for meals that they're having. So they'll order like four or five orders Or whatever and have them in their You can buy 12 breadsticks from Olive Garden

00:13:32 - 00:13:33 | Speaker 6:

Can you?

00:13:34 - 00:13:39 | Speaker 1:

Can't you buy the Olive Garden breadsticks At like Sam's Club and Costco

00:13:39 - 00:13:49 | Speaker 2:

And you can buy a box at Kroger To make your own Cheddar Bay Biscuits But I don't do that because I feel guilt If I put two sticks of butter in there But if they're doing it I don't see it

00:13:49 - 00:13:57 | Speaker 1:

Oh man Ram's horn Oh, yeah That's obviously a big one Ram's Horn

Chi-Chi's was the bomb. And the fried ice cream was the thing that nobody else can do, Shannon. You're right.

00:14:47 - 00:14:50 | Speaker 3:

I've tried it other places. It is not the same. You can't do it like Chi-Chi's.

00:14:50 - 00:14:53 | Speaker 5:

Like a big Saturday night fancy dinner for the fam

00:14:53 - 00:14:58 | Speaker 1:

00:14:58 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 5:

Oh my god

00:15:00 - 00:15:07 | Speaker 1:

Both the hot and the mild, you'd have to, like, switch off back and forth. I always go to three baskets of those before they put anything on the table.

00:15:07 - 00:15:07 | Speaker 4:

Oh, yeah.

00:15:08 - 00:15:21 | Speaker 1:
