Once in a lifetime, if you're lucky or enjoy special favor from a God you don't even believe in, you might just find yourself in the presence of greatness.\nParkway Restaurant is a slice, a chunk, a bucket of greatness.\nThey are open forever and boast all-you-can-eat specials for lunch and dinner.\nThis is their genius: \nOne bite is all you can eat. \n\nEven Old Country Buffet is good enough for seconds.\nBut is good food the point here? \nOr just affordable belly packing material?\n\nThe menu is the size of Books In Print 1978-1980 (library reference copy) and layered staggered pages so that items further back coaxe and tease the bleary traveler deeper into its budget-priced labyrinthian display of options.\nAnd everything is $5.99.\n\nLike the little-known law requiring all convenience store owners to be Hindu, head chefs to be alcoholics, and government building cafeteria cashiers to be blind, odd family restaurants near highways and tiny shopping malls must be run by Albanians and offer gyros meat for breakfast.\nThese are the same federal mandates that stipulate all Chinese restaurants use exactly the same menu with the same ubiquitous little pictures of food.\n\nThe waitress called me \"hon.\"\n\nActually, I was so drunk I don't remember what I had but it didn't kill me so you might want to give them a visit.
