November 23, 2008 – Gig in Gainesville!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.23, 2008, under Caricatures, What's New?
Here are folks I drew in Gainesville at the Thomas Center. For more of the Thomas Center click here and see more at Genuine Florida.
To the left is a sketch I drew there.
After the gig, I headed home at about 2 something in the morning. I stopped at the Steak ‘N Shake on US441. I ordered a steakburger meal. I got cold unslated french fries, oddly drained baked beans, a chocolate shake with strawberries in it and a very odd burger. See below. I guess they ran out of buns. That and proper training.
I’m too much a fan of Steak ‘N Shake to know this is NOT the norm. I’ve never received anything like this before and I’ve been a devoted fan for since I was consious of being taken to the Steak ‘N Shake on 17-92 in Winter Park. This is strange and indicitive of something very wrong at this particular Steak ‘N Shake.

I assume you didn’t accept the order??
I love Steak and Shake too, but we have to go
all the way to Knoxville to find one. (2 hr. drive)
There may be one in Asheville, but if so, I don’t know about it.
We lived in Fl. for over 25 years. We always ate at
the one by the University Mall in Tampa. We also ate at the one
in Brandon (suberb of Tampa) often as well. It is on
the main drag which is Hwy. 60.
Ever been to either one of these, Rob?

I didn’t see the order until I was on the road. I reached for what I thought was a burger and found myself handling something else. It was about 2:30 in the morning and I was in a pitch black area south of Gainesville. I had to wait to get into a lit area where I could pull over and see what I had just purchased. By that time, I was far too many miles along to return it (Micanopy and I-75).
Been to both Steak ‘n Shakes in Brandon and the one at University Square. The one at University Square has found itself in a not very pleseant area over the years.

When you ate at the one in Brandon, you were about 3 blocks from my house! Small world!
