Hi Alton, Replying about Lamberts Cafe: The roll throwing is just one of the things that they are famous for. When you order your meal it comes with sides, like vegies, etc. You pick those and then they come around with large bowls of fried okra, fried potatoes, black-eyed peas, macaroni and tomatoes, maybe something else that I've forgotten. Also, they don't bring bread to the table, they have another person with a cart full of muffin tins that walks around the restaurant throwing rolls to anyone who wants them. People say "over here" and the person throws them a roll, it's a fun place. It's a sit down restaurant, but it's also an all you can eat place, where people can consume huge amounts of food. If you didn't get enough of your entree' they will bring you more, which is so hard to believe because the portions are large. My husband saw it on TV, thinks most likely on Man vs. Food, or the Favorite Places to Pigout or something like that. We both ordered fried chicken, you can have which ever pieces you want, we took the breasts and got 2 huge ones and a baked potato and another side. Well, by the time I had mine all mixed in with the fixings they came around with the pan fried potatoes and my baked potato came home with me, as well as a chicken breast and a half. Most of my dinner consisted of the pass arounds, but I was very proud of myself - I only ate one roll, and it was fantastic.

Is it related to how they make rolls, e.g., beaten biscuits. Alton On Apr 17, 2010, at 12:49 AM, Barbara Alma wrote Lamberts Cafe, where they throw the rolls. Lots of fun
