It's not as common to hear it any more, but in the 1950's it was as common as finding a penny in your pocket change.
You would be happy to know there is such a restaurant near Cleredon, Vermont. Kind of a special eating place not too far from the Long Trail (Applachian Trail) in Southern Vermont. Frequented by a lot of through hikers. Not uncommon to see hikers eat two of three meals at one time.
We shared breakfast, that morning, early July 2005, with an interesting young man and an old blonde lab retriever whose name was Dune. Why is your dog named Dune? Everyone has a dog named Sandy.
It was politely suggest we eat outside on the deck.
