Anybody remember a restaurant at Northwest 6th and North Harvey (northwest corner) set back off the street. I think the actual name was Lafayette Cafe, but everybody I knew called it Jimmy the Greek's.

Lunch time cafeteria style service and everybody would just say, "The Works" and Jimmy would pile everything there high on a plate. Chicken fry steak, mashed potatoes, spaghetti and meat sauce, green beans, corn and pinto beans. Ain't the place for a dieter, you did not leave hungry.

If you wanted another roll, he would open the warmer and throw it across the room, better catch, just one chance.

The lunch crowd was everything from plumbers to business executives and most often the Greek Municipal Judge, something like Denopolis.

This was in the early to mid sixties, I moved from Oklahoma City to Dallas in 1968 and wanted to eat there one more time, but had a pregnant wife and a troublesome moving situation.
