Once Again, A Real Hamburger

[Uncle Phil]

Since I knew today would be the last chance I will get to ride for probably the next six months, I rode to one of my favorite places to eat.
Here's what a real double bacon cheese burger looks like -



and I had to have a little sweetening to finish it off proper -



This is not the place to be in a hurry as everything is cooked fresh to order.
And as I've said before, their 1/2 lb double is two 1/2 lb patties of hand patted meat specially seasoned.
It's a heart attack on a plate, but you go with a big smile on your face!

That could be arranged - but it will be a while after Monday's 'repair'.

Bacon needs to be more crispy, otherwise it looks delicious!

Was that at a "Royal Burger" , where the cooks squeeze the patty into the correct shape , using their arm-pit ?

geezalou. No way could I get that much down and still walk to the bike..or sleep that night.

WOW! A meal to die for! (I meant that in the best possible way, Unc!)

I've never seen a meal of such riches out this way. Talk about conspicuous consumption! And the bacon looks perfect! I could handle that but instead of walking back to the bike I'd probably have to walk back to wherever I started the RTE!

And what is so nice is that the restaurant happens to be located on some mighty fine riding roads.

A bit of interesting history -

Frank Mars - of Mars Candy fame - used to ride the train from his estate up north (Illinois) to this little village.
He got off there and visited his massive farm - Milky Way Farm - that was located nearby and where he eventually moved to.
When his farm buildings were destroyed by a fire, he built them all back in stone.
I think his original house and a lot of the out buildings still exist.
From what I have been told, he also passed out candy bars to the local children during the Great Depression.

The article says 'Pulaski' but it is actually 'Lynnville' - which had a small train station. As with typical media, they give the nearest decent size city.

Nope, but you can watch them cook it if you like cause the griddle is right there in the open.
Notice I said 'hand patted' not 'arm pit pressed'.

My arteries just tightened. I don't think I've had that many calories this week, and I really try.
All the best UP.

Nope, Lynnville, Tennessee.

I was afraid Phil was going to show us pictures of his shoulder replacement surgery.

Soda Pop Junction In Lynnville, TN (highway 129 off exit 27 I65 - Don't worry, once you cross the railroad tracks, you'll see it to the right. Lynnville only has one row of buildings - population less than 300. ).
It would be a nice 'day ride' from where you are.
BTW, there just happens to be a Colonel Littleton store next door -
