May 11, 2026

TOGETHER WITH

☀️SBC! I’ve got a serious question that I desperately need answered. I can’t for the life of me shake the idea that I once applied for a hostess position at this restaurant MANY years ago…

Does anyone else remember a Bone Daddy's restaurant where Longhorn Steakhouse is now on Youree? (before/around 2010)?

Yes! | I'm not sure? | Nope, never.

In this issue, we’ll shine light on:
