Anyone remember Central Park in Knoxville?

I have no idea if they were a chain or what. I just know I loved their burger and fries as a kid and was really impressed they could run an entire drive-thru restauarant out of a 20x20 box, granted some 2 or 3 stories tall. It just sat in the middle of a parking lot across from West Town Mall. I believe there was one off Western Ave too.

I grew up going to the one in the Kroger parking lot in Halls. Loved their burgers and fries....kinda reminds me of how Checkers used to taste. I was fascinated by the little castle looking building too.

What I really miss is Mrs Winners. They had the best chicken, biscuits and sweet tea of any chain and it was way cheaper than KFC.

Interesting

I’m cool with slowing it down. That timing was nuts. If they agreed it was an odd reaction by him because he seemed crushed and they seemed to have something to build on

He seemed frustrated that she wouldn't have sex. She seemed very immature and FoS.

The company that owns Checkers owned Central Park also.

I worked at West Town movie theater in the mid 80’s and eat at Central Park everyday I worked. Loved that place.

Man, I’m completely blown away. I posted earlier this week asking for recommendations on where to go in Asheville to watch the UT/AU game because the gf had some work thing and her company was paying for the room. Well she got me. As we were about to leave to head to Asheville she hands me a photo collage book thing...🙄🙄... I’m wanting to hit the road but she made this thing for me and if I don’t act like it’s the greatest thing ever then my weekend will suck no matter what. Anyway, it’s actually enjoyable and I could tell she put a lot of work in to it, great present IMO. I get to the last page, it’s after 9pm before she gets to my place and I want to go to get to Asheville and party a little...I get to the last page and I’m like oh cool you saved some of the game stubs of the games I took you to...look harder, she got 2 lower level seats for the AU game, a dope Airbnb, and G10 parking pass. She didn’t even know about the parking pass, whoever she got the tix from just threw that in. Also, she bought these before the UF game last week. She completely blew me away. She had no idea how big a game this was (and it wasn’t til after the UF game), had no idea it’s senior day on what was somewhat of a trying season but one that is ending very promising IMO, and this is obviously completely by happenstance (but I’m a history nerd and a big fan of nostalgia as well) but if I’m not mistaken this week is the anniversary of the Alamo...so I’m pretty damn stoked. We get to the Airbnb just after 2am, no WiFi and no cable, but that’s no big deal. GF wants to shower, I make a drink and start looking at the DVD options, top of the pile is Tennessee Football The Greatest Plays. I’m still in disbelief lol. But we’re sitting in 104, pregaming in G10, and post-game we haven’t even discussed. If anyone wants to pregame let me know!
