[:D]There are several of these places that serve boardinghouse meals.
Mr.Wilke’s in Savannah and others.Don’t know of any in Texas.
the old expression "Pardon my boardinghouse reach" which my parents would sometimes say at dinner,came from the fact that the food was put on the table all at once,and people would reach across the table to get a particular dish.
No,this is no chain .Most of these places like Mrs.Wilke’s are not chains but run by individuals and their staff.
