They are awesome, the kraut, the chili cheese, really any way you go you won't be disappointed. You've got 3-4 people behind the counter, it's quick and simple.

Mayor Frank Hague attended the ceremonies that evening and, with the audience, was greeted on the screen by actress Norma Talmadge. An orchestral performance, a stage show called "Sky Blues," a newsreel, and a musical piece on the Wurlitzer organ, preceded the showing of The Dove starring Talmadge and Gilbert Roland.
