Lynn's Paradise Cafe has 'em all beat!

I used to go there in the early 90's when Lynn herself waited tables. She is quite a salesperson. She would describe a certain dish as having fresh, home-grown tomatoes grown by her father and picked that very morning! The food is delicious - a mixture between California health food and down home biscuits and gravy. There are lots of events - pajama party on New Year's Day, tacky lamp contest... and each table has lots of tacky memorabilia, many from the 50's, lots of snow globes, funny creamers, cheap souvenirs from all the states.

When it first opened I described it to a friend as the kind of place where guys wore purple turtlenecks...But I went there with the guys in lab who wore flannel shirts...
