Pal's marks 50 years in business

Published 2006-07-24 05:27:34 By Editor - Would a Big Tea from "Fred's Sudden Service" taste as sweet? Would a hot dog have become a signature item at the "Burger 'something'," or the " 'something' Burger?" No ...

No doubt Pal is a wonderful businessperson, but I always feel a little sad that my uncle, Ralph Dorton, who Im sure by the nature of his creativity and hard work was at least one of the stepping stones there and should be mentioned in its history. Maybe Im predjudiced!:)

The big pal has to be the most tasteless burger I have ever eaten. Though I do like the chili burgers on occasion and the sauce burgers.

Dont care for the hot dogs but I do know people who swear by them.

Tell us about your uncle, mitzi. Im sure many would enjoy hearing some Kingsport / Pals history.
