Stella’s in Bellevue, NE. It’s just down Galvin from the base, basically a converted shack. The beer is cheep American, and ice cold, the burgers are greasy slabs of heaven on a bun. Now I’m hungry. * * * Letting my inner child run loose and break things. ---

The best ever is at the Sport-X in Salt Lake City, UT (if James is still cooking). Actually, all the food there is really good, especially breakfast (although a sports bar with pool tables and video games is an odd place to eat breakfast). A close runner-up is Char-Grill in Raleigh, NC. ---

White Rose System - Highland Park, New Jersey. Stewart’s California Cheeseburger’s are pretty damn good too. * * * I am not deliciously saucy. ---

The Red Hawk bar and grill in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. Not the biggest or most impressive burger i’ve ever seen, but _man_ are they good! ---

Here in New Brunswick, Canada, Irving has their Big Stop restauraunt chain, attached to some service stations. Kinda like a trucker’s spot, with a little class. They’re notorious for good prices and HUGE servings. Anyways, the burger I always get there is prob’ly a 1/2 lb. burger, with onion, tomato and lettuce, topped with HP Steak Sauce, and sided with a heapin’ helpin’ of fries. I don’t know if this one compares with the ones you guys are describing, but it’s definitely among the best I’ve tried. the HP Steak Sauce, I think, is what does it for me… ::DROOL:: * * * I don’t suffer from insanity… I enjoy every minute of it! ---

Definitely Kincaid’s in Fort Worth. And Snuffer’s in Dallas. (My stomach is now growling, thank you all very much!) Crystalguy: > [@](#): > > The Corral, in Dallas, across the street from the old Dr. Pepper building. Only a couple of strip shopping centers there now. And the saddest thing of all - they tore down the Dr Pepper building a few years ago. What a shame. ---

> [@](#): > > Sylence said: > > Old Tymer’s Cafe in Durango, Colorado. No kidding. I lived in Durango for almost 18 years. I’ve eaten at Old Tymer’s too, but can’t honestly recall what I ate there. For greasy hamburgers, I always thought it was hard to beat the burgers at the Rocket. I used to love to get one between movies. Drop me a line sometime with other Durango memories and/or comments if you wish. ---

A note on The White Rose System. A couple of years ago I purchased a book titled “Baked Potatotes” a pot smokers guide to movie veiwing. The last page of the book rated munchies/food joints, the authors must have been from the NJ area, White Rose System was #1 across the board. * * * I am not deliciously saucy. ---

White Castle? Sliders? We used to call 'em murder burgers! Although, after closing a bar down, there’s almost nothing better, except maybe a Waffle House. Hey, all you Texas people. No one’s going to mention Al’s Hamburgers in Arlington Tx? Yummmm Yum! * * * New and Improved Enright3 ---
