| Does anyone remember this restaurant, which Mickey Mantle opened in Texas, during the 1960s? I believe that its sole location was in the Dallas-area, but am not sure. Might there have been multiple establishments?
When Mickey closed the restaurant down, my grandfather -- and admirer of Mr. Mantle -- purchased many sets of dishes from Mickey Mantle's Country Cookin' ..... and used them at his own place, the Golden Eagle, in Richardson (Dallas County). Photos of like tableware may be found here:

Thanks in advance for any memories or information about the location of Mickey Mantle's restaurant.
