Magic Time Machine • 1973

<cite index="4-3,21-4">Servers dressed as pop culture icons from Elvis to Spider-Man</cite> greet guests at this <cite index="12-1,14-1">windowless, domed building off Loop 410 that Jim Hasslocher opened in August 1973</cite> with a vision of fine dining without the stuffiness. <cite index="40-3,40-7,40-8">The Specialty of the House is the Roman Orgy, a conglomerate roast feast with fresh fruit, vegetables, and other fare brought out with great fanfare and song</cite>, while <cite index="11-8,11-9">the salad bar lives inside a shiny red 1952 MG-TD Roadster</cite>. <cite index="24-11">You might sit at the Sweethearts Table, in The Attic, a Thatched Hut or even an old Refrigerator</cite>, surrounded by five decades of faded carpet and tchotchkes that transport you straight back to the funky nostalgia of opening night.
