I first went to ...I love the Old Spaghetti Factory! I first went to one in San Diego in what is now called the Gaslamp District, which is now a fancy shmancy part of town. But back then, it was part of Skid Row. We went about once a month and our visit was often accompanied by a police car showing up to haul away the drunk lying in the gutter outside the front door of the Spaghetti Factory. And one never knew just who would show up to panhandle a few bucks while we waited to get in. Yes, there was usually a wait line even though it was in "that" part of town! It truly was a trip to the Dark Side going to dinner down there :D<br /><br />I've been to the original location only once which is odd since I've been here since 1998. I'm thinking a trip to get their mizithra cheese/clam sauce duo is in order as soon as I get through this week of GI testing (my diet is very restricted this week :D ).<br /><br />Thanks for the post, Ed! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!<br /><br />-- LoisLoishttp://www.playinganewgame.comnoreply@blogger.com
