Even Steiner Math could only keep the place open for so long during a pandemic.

I’m actually strangely heartbroken about this.
I was looking forward to trying the I’m Doing Him An Eggs, scrambled with the Big Bad Blueberry Daddy pancakes.

Sucks. Covid is costing a lot of people a lot of money and in some cases their livelihood. I’m sure that Poppa Pump will be fine, but hopefully his employees can bounce back.

I've known you all my life
At least that's how it seems
Never known another way
Living out a dream
Now I know you're leaving me and I'll never understand
Before I let you walk away, I have one last demand
Tell me a lie and say that you won't go
Look in my eyes and hold me even though
I realize you have to walk away
No more yesterday
You always were my angel
Flying high above
Always looking out for me
Angel that I love
But now my dreams are fading like age old photographs
That hurt too much to look at now, remind us of our past
Tell me a lie and say that you won't go
Look in my eyes and hold me even though
I realize you have to walk away
No more yesterday
Maybe we could stay together
Maybe it could last forever
Maybe if you just tell me a lie
Maybe then, we'll never say goodbye

With the closing of Scott Steiner's Shoney's and the passing of oatmeal spokesperson Wilford Brimley, this has been a dark day for breakfast lovers everywhere...

A lot of businesses will have to change considerably after this. Buffet restaurants like Shoneys I feel will have to either close them or restructure to more of a cafeteria setup. Also being a fast casual roadside place you have to potentially deal with out of state people who are not keen on following your states mask order. I had this problem at a Cracker Barrell. |

What they meant to say was "We are closed due to being a Shoney's that somehow hadn't gone out of business yet." |

I’ve been there twice. The food was actually pretty good, (the Shoney’s in my area are awful)
There’s a wall with Steiner memorabilia that was kinda cool too.
One time I guess we had just missed him, but any staff I talked to said Steiner was a jerk, and his wife ran the place.

I've never been to a Shoney's.......is this just a regular sit down restaurant? Or a buffet? Because...........well, hell, these days both those types of places are suffering. What they meant to say was "We are closed due to being a Shoney's that somehow hadn't gone out of business yet." From what I'm reading, they were on the brink of extinction circa 2000 when they went bankrupt (one of those "they simply opened too many and it cost them"). They were at 168 in 2006, doesn't seem like it's climbed up from that since (locations in 16 states, currently in 17 states). And I can't believe this sentence exists (from their Wikipedia pg): .....no Shoney's that existed in 1998 exists in 2020. Good grief.  |

I sure hope that he understood to ban Samoa Joe, if it was a buffet. Just do the math, no way there would be any profits to be made!
