The video arcade was called the Red Baron years after the restaurant called Red Barn went out of business. Same building. "Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'."

In all these years since, I haven't found any place that comes close to that particular flavor. I also loved me a good Big Barney. Our nearest Red Barn was on Eight Mile Road near Ryan (it eventually turned into a Szechuan Chinese restaurant, and then a used car lot), the next closest at 12 Mile and Dequindre (anyone remember when that locale became The Ribbery?)

When they finally did open, I noticed that some of the napkins and carry-out boxes were marked "Hungry Penguin" and had that top-hatted logo you mentioned. I wonder if Suzy Q bought them out or something?
