JK's

"Two classic JK's Texas hots, topped with mustard, onions, and hot sauce."

"Our milk shake was so thick that a straw stood up easily (but was of little use sucking up the drink, which must be gulped). The silver serving beaker held another glass-and-a-half. The blurry pictures on the wall behind the milk shake show JK's many incarnations through the decades since it began in the 1930s."

"French fries are availabe on a plate or in a basket, topped with cheese and/or gravy. Another option is seasoned curly fries with cheese and bacon bits."
Michael Stern



"JK's always has rice pudding and Grape-Nuts pudding for dessert. The latter is pictured here. Note the copious veins of softened cereal spread throughout the custard."

"In the foreground: a bare Texas Hot Wiener. In the background: a Texas Hot topped with chili and cole slaw. We paid 10 cents extra to have the bun toasted, but next time would save our money. The normal soft bun is a better mitt for holding one of these short but meaty franks, especially if it's loaded."

"Jane, me, Seafarer John, and Gail (Mrs. Seafarer) polish off a bunch of Texas hots and milk shakes. I must say, the waitress was patient indeed when my camera didn't work right. And when the first picture proved too dark, she was happy to take another. Good service!"

"Here is JK's wall of accolades from local celebrities, including beloved WTNH newsman Dr. Mel."
