Roast Beef

In 1938 a roast beef restaurant named Brennan and Carr opened up in Sheepshead Bay. It was located in a real log cabin. There was no menu. It was written on a chalk board on the wall. You could order your food from an outside window while waiting for a bus as the bus stop was right there. It was cash only. Drinks were served in paper cups. The roast beef sandwiches came "double dipped", if requested. If you said double dip, it meant you had been there before. Last night after dropping off my father, we ate there. Nothing had changed since 1938. It was like walking into a time warp. The sandwiches tasted exactly was we remembered them and the corn fritters were heavenly. It is nice to know that sometimes things stay the same and it is possible to relive happy times.
