I've been to that eatery in Tulsa; as I recall the name of it was Mayberry's Diner. Mike Creech, if you're reading this, you'll probably remember that we stopped and ate there that time we drove down to Paris, Texas to meet Denver Pyle, about fifteen years ago. For them that don't know, Denver (Briscoe Darling) used to run an annual charity fishing tournament which he called "Uncle Jesse's Big Bass Classic" or something like that. Anyway, my impression was that somebody had opened a diner, and in an effort to increase business, they later added "Mayberry" to the name of the place, and named some of the dishes after characters from The Show. They had a colorful menu (like IHOP's or Denny's) with photos of the cast members, almost certainly done without permission from Mayberry Enterprises, nor anybody else, for that matter. They gave Mike and me a couple of the menus as souvenirs; I'm sure I still have mine around here someplace. I believe the owners of this establishment also had another diner in Bixby, OK. I've no idea if either place is still in business. Paul Mulik >>>The Mayberry Cafe in Danvile, Ind is relatively famous; i've been there >>>myself a few times.
