Mama Sid's, the venerable pizza place on the Eastside that at one time had multiple locations, just celebrated 30 years in business.

Herschel's Famous 34 Pub and Grill is officially open in the former Doc Chey's/Chango's on East Clayton Street downtown, serving 34 flavors of wings (including some not often seen, such as Doritos, raspberry horseradish and hot plum), ribs, beer, etc. The man himself was in town and posing for pictures at the grand opening last Friday, many of which can be seen on the Facebook page.
