Not really, but I could see how they would be.
Before Allen's for me was a place called the Oyster House in Conshohocken (gone now, not the current one on Fayette)
Always left out in an open bowl on the tables with a container of horseradish.
Maybe that's why I liked Allen's, reminded me of the past.
Speaking of horseradish, pepper palace nasal napalm!
