Cocktail Frankfurts a staple of kids (and other) parties for generations. Served with tomato sauce and often on toothpicks.

Colloquially known as “little boys” :roflmao:

It's very mid century, slatted walls, antler chandeliers, a really cool old see through fridge for the beer, lots of old beer signs too - very fun, relaxed vibe lots of comfort food, I had Lobster Mac n cheese tonight

They sure serve little sweet teas there. Back this way you get a real glass full.

Oh, I bet that's not tea.....

Not tea, a lovely mix of Gin, Vermouth and Campari, kinda bitter like an Orange peel, would have hated it as a kid, love it as an "adult"

Just an excuse to eat BBQ sauce-not that that's a bad thing.:smug:

I love a good Kansas City BBQ sauce with almost anything. Arthur Bryant's and Gates still rule KC. I first ate there when I was in art-school in the mid '70s. Highly addictive. Once it's in your bloodstream - you're hooked! I just learned that Target stocks Gates! Woo-Hoo! (I usually order on-line)

Funny pic from '81 - dude on the far left still wearing bell-bottoms! It looks pretty much the same today. They had a Jukebox near the front door (looks to be behind Arthur - either that or a cigarette machine!) that always had R&B/Motown hits spinning when you got there. A "destination point" if ever in KC/MO. It's the real deal. AB only had this one location, whereas Gates has about 6 locations throughout greater KC.

Anyone know a source for OEM VP 500k pots? Going to replace the bridge volume pot on the VP. Seems that is the likely culprit. The ones installed say made in Korea. I know I could go CTS but my OCD whispers in my ear that they all should be the same.

Epiphone doesn’t seem to sell parts. The main thing is to get one with splines to match what’s on your bass. I use WD branded pots because they sell them at Long & Mcquade.

The first time I got hammered I drank gin mixed with root beer and got sick, I never drank gin again, I think I tried to choke it down once or twice but nope. I couldn't even drink root beer for years afterward and still don't like it. :laugh:
