We’ve enjoyed learning about the story of Zesto in Atlanta and Columbia, and really loved tracking down what we found about Kay’s, Kay’s Kastles, and Ice Castle.ĭigging into the history of Shrimp Boats – that’s Boats with an S – and its predecessor – slash – survivor The Shrimp Boat – that’s Boat without an S – has been terrific fun.
It’s comparatively easy to get a little backstory about a single business, but the story can become much more convoluted and fascinating when we’re digging into the past for little traces of what’s left when something distinctive and fun is trying to vanish. One of the most fun elements of our hobby has been researching long-lost southeastern restaurant chains.
