There used to be a place in Dallas, off Forest Lane and North Central Expressway - made the best fried catfish - man that tastes good just to remember it.   Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Zieger To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 12:26 PM Subject: Re: [VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY I might have to take exception to that quote.  I like catfish.   Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy D.
