This was 1991, when getting satellite television meant buying what’s now known as the “Big Ugly Dish” and having someone move the dish so it could catch the signal of the channel they wanted to watch.
Henderson ordered bread and bought a meat slicer so he could serve sandwiches and added a hotdog rolling machine for hotdogs. He knew as long as he had a TV and could serve food and beer, the sports would take care of the rest.
