The Mayberry Ice Cream Restaurants at one time numbered forty-two half a century ago; now only seven remain in the state. The bean-and-bacon soup is legendary; banana splits are delicious. Tomlin visits the one in High Point which is owned by Rita and Mike Rankin. Mike went to work with the restaurant as a dish washer at age fifteen and worked his way up to owner. When the chain still had a large number of restaurants, he was the troubleshooter for it. He and Rita have a loyal clientele that comes to their restaurant to enjoy their homemade food.
