Tears Gator Tears

I remember hitting the old Cafe Risqué when I was in college. I thought it was wild that they didn’t serve alcohol but had a two drink minimum. So I had a couple of sodas and died a little on the inside.

Where’s his other hand?

Skeeter (originally of "Skeeter's Big Biscuit") opened Cafe Risque in his wife's name when he was having tax problems. Sadly, all the Skeeter's are now closed (they made it down to Orlando at one point), but the "Li'l Asher" special (and several other Skeeter's Big Biscuit menu items) appeared on the Cafe Risque food menu.

Yes, I can literally tell you that I stopped for the food.

True story.
I actually ate at the original skeeters in high school when I went up for gator growl bc a family friend was a student there. Had the Asher Special late night I believe. This was 1982 or 83. I only remember that restaurant and dish, Wilbur Marshall, A Flock of Seagulls and/or Missing Persons for the concert and a whole lot of racist fraternity rednecks.

That tracks. 100%.
 
Downtown Gainesville is actually fancier than Midtown! There’s a steakhouse, a sushi restaurant, and a wine bar, as well as a theatre! Very classy.
I went to waffle house once in Gainesville near the campus, would that been midtown or downtown?

Having recently been in downtown Hogtown, it also has a wide variety of vacant city blocks and a fine assortment of boarded-up establishments.
