11Alive's Kaitlyn Ross sat down with them at The Varsity, where they've been meeting up for over 20 years!
"Whaddayahavewhaddayahavewhaddayahave," asks The Varsity server.
For 100-year-old Luther Walden, the answer is always the same.
"Chili dogs, onion rings, and a medium Coke," he said.
He orders it at least once a week with his friends at the Varsity. They've been going every week for the past 20 years, but this week was special.
"I'm 100 today. Ooh, I feel like I'm 80," he said.

Luther and Bob proudly keep up the tradition at The Varsity every week, catching up and telling a few jokes.
