Not doubting you in the least. Was it at the Linq prominade? Same store I posted a link above with Eric ? He seemed to have enjoyed his. I have been to White Castles that have been subpar.... and other's that have been superior. And then again some people just don't get White Castle. And I get that as well. For me.... there is much on the Culver's menu that I love. But for a hamburger.... I would rather go across the street (where I live) for a McDonald's . Or down the street, for a Smashburger. Welcome To Smashburger Yeah it was at that promenade, and it was good. I'm sure it was as good as any other burger they've ever made, but it just didn't live up to the hype. It just wasn't something I'd go out of my way to get is all. The fries aren't good, though. Give me Penn Station or Five Guys any day over theirs. The best burger though is the Mickey at Schoop's. Miner Dunn for a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez! However, in honor of the Strange Food with Recipes thread, I found this copycat Double Double Animal Style recipe! Looks interesting, might have to try it with the best ever Omaha burgers! 😄 https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/in-n-out-double-double-animal-style-497068?ic1=suggestedAsset|in-n-out So tried the Animal style, have to say paired with buffalo style cauliflower and blue cheese dipping sauce was one of the better meals I’ve made!! Will definitely have to try In-N-Out animal style the next time I get a chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Had a great burger today, at a new JOINT, called Zig Zag burger ( get it joint ? LOL) . Met with the son of the owner, who runs the JOINT.... and though he is a really nice young , I get how he came up with the name. Big fat burger. And they will customize any way you want. Plus, they have an attached restaurant under the same roof, with a different entrance that serves up meatballs of many types and varieties. Unique.

As a teenager, we would drive from Gary to Ohio, where my sister lived and does to this day. We traveled U.S 30 and made it a point to stop at PP. At times getting there before they opened. Having to wait for the doors to open. Great place. And great memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 All this burger talk reminds of places I grew up with. For me it was the White steamer and Masons root beer stand in Washington,indiana. And a short trip to Bomacs in Shoals. The best burgers I've ever had.

Funny that I know about White Steamer.... though I have never been there..... and have been to Washington, Indiana.... only once in my lifetime. Reason, I know about White Steamer, is because I followed the recruitment of Cody Zeller, very, very closely. And I recall, the Zeller's talking about White Zeller.... and how much Cody loved going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was growing up, Martinsville had either Charlie's Drive In (decent burger, and it didn't hurt that my best friend's sister was married to Charlie's son) or Frisch's Big Boy (I still occasionally crave tarter sauce on a cheeseburger). Charlie's is still there. Travelling around a little, if you're ever in these places, try them out... The Melt in Leesburg, Va...best burger I've ever had Bristol Tap in Bristol, Il (don't blink, you'll miss it...and bring cash) 2nd best I've ever had The Feve in Oberlin, Oh Pete's Burgers in Porter, Tx And I attribute my clean bill of digestive tract health to my affinity for White Castle double cheeseburgers 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it doesn't happen. On a far more reduced scale Scotty's Brewhouse here in the area used to be very good years ago. Expanded in Indiana, Illinois, and Florida I believe. Due North purchased it a few years ago with headlines planning to expand,etc.....and now here we are 3 years later with each one closing by the week it seems like. Not sure if any are still open.

You are not the only one concerned about things sliding : Whataburger buyout should not be surprising One hope. The original owners are remaining as minority stock holders.

milehiiu Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 We have a 5 guys, Smashburger, McDonalds, Culvers, Freddies Steakburger , Red Robin (unlimited fries) and Good Times, all within a mile of my house. I am truly blessed. However, still looking forward to next year, when In and Out comes to Colorado. And hoping that Whataburger returns as well.

IUFLA Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 In the 7 years I've lived in Texas, I've learned four things you can't tell a Native Texan... 1. A pickup truck stamped with a "Texas Edition" badge (and every make has them...Even Toyota) is no better than any other truck 2. There are grocery stores better than HEB 3. Making something in the shape of the state (and I've seen cheese, burgers, waffles, and swimming pools) does not make it better 4. AND there are better fast food places than Whataburger. You know, I'm ultra-proud to be a Hoosier, but these people take it to fanaticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
