You may contribute your memory via e-mail – send to fhhs@ncweb.com Karen Spaller Bentley10:58am Aug 19 Rogat's Hardware - Abe Rogat used to eat at Isaly's every day - I'd see him and a very nice man named Mr. McGee every day. Had the same lunch there every day - hamburger pattie, home fries & corn - haven't had home fries that good since. Mom said all she used was real butter & paprika but I've tried that and still not the same. Must have been that grill.
