Spotted November 23, 2018, 12:26:33 pm Spotted older Lazy Daze... bull nose (84?), blue/white, probably 27', possible rear bath, towing newer Honda CRV. Seen her roll by while eating breakfast at Country Waffles, Clayton Valley Shopping Center, Clayton, CA. Old or new they've all got that same great look! 2 Likes

As someone always on the prowl for the best biscuits and gravy, where exactly is Mac's?This topic may deserve it's own thread, "Best Biscuits and Gravy." Kinda like the coffee thread, ya know . . . 1 Likes
Re: Spotted Reply #3 – November 24, 2018, 10:53:23 pm "... where exactly is Mac's?"Indeed! Where is Mac's?I've lived here since 1976 and Mac's and the Gravy are news to me. Would you by any chance be thinking of "Mac's Old House" which is located way over the hill in Antioch? Outside of Country Waffles the best place of which I'm aware is Giant Chef in Pleasant Hill.

Re: Spotted Reply #6 – November 25, 2018, 02:09:52 pm Well, I'm sorry but I just don't get it!Clayton is not a huge metropolis, being a rather small village of the 'don't blink or you'll miss it' category. My memory does not bring to mind a Mac's Restaurant, nor does Google, Trip Advisor or Yelp. In fact, to my intimate knowledge there are only three (3) eating establishments in the entire town, Moresi's Chophouse, Ed's Mudville Grill (both owned by the same guy) and, last but not least, Skipolini's Pizza. That's it ladies and gentlemen, unless you can show me something different. The Pioneer Inn has been gone for many years now.

Re: Spotted Reply #8 – November 26, 2018, 08:52:55 pm Steve, Sorry if I misled you. Mack Rogers passed away in 2007 and his restaurant closed in the late 90's. He was a great guy and was from Louisiana and could he cook. His biscuits and gravy and red-eye gravy makes my mouth water even now. Here is his obituary:Mack H. Rogers 1943 - 2007 Resident of Concord Mack Henry Rogers, 63, departed this life May 4, 2007 at his home in Concord, CA. He was born in Baton Rouge, LA and migrated to the San Francisco bay area in the late 1960's. Mack led a full and happy life. He was a strong family man with a big heart and kind and gentle spirit. He always had a smile on his face and a warm greeting on his lips. He truly never met a stranger. A chef and restaurateur, Mack touched thousands of people in the bay area and around the country with his culinary skills. For 14 years, he worked as a chef at Golden West Pancake House. He also worked at Bella Roma Pizza in Concord, which later became Mack's Oak Pit BBQ. When the restaurant moved to Clayton in the 1980's, Mack was able to realize his dream of owning his own business. After the restaurant closed, he spent the remainder of his career enhancing the staffs of various restaurants, including Mack Lou, another of his business ventures, and Holiday Inn. He also ran a catering business, Southwest Catering, with his wife. To know Mack was to know a conversationalist, ever ready to engage family and friends. He had an arsenal of jokes and silly stories in eager anticipation of making people laugh. 1 Likes
