Unless you re from the Temple area, the question Old Jody s or New Jody s? probably doesn t mean a thing to you. To those of us who grew up around here, it was a crucial question to wrestle with when making plans to dine out with the family.
I m 34, and as far back as I can remember there have been two Jody s. When I was little, my mom and her friends preferred Jody s Family Restaurant, AKA New Jody s , which has always been right across the street from Old Jody s . So, you can guess which one I spent the most time making memories in growing up.
