OT: May is National Hamburger Month

[cohenzone]

You made me look up Harry’s Place in Colchester that hands down had the best burgers anywhere. Been in business for a loooong time. Used to be just burgers and cheeseburgers. From their website, it looks like competition forced them into an expanded menu. I wonder if the burger quality suffered.

I don't know what they used to be like but I like the burgers now. We try to find a way to stop there when in the area, like before a casino show.

Unfortunately these suggested places precludes your burger being grass fed, when it was alive, I mean.
Think what you're doing to your temple.

Atheists, they are.

When I was a kid, we’d drive through Colchester from Hartford to the beaches. It was before Rt 2 , so you were on 85 right past Harry’s. It is not an exaggeration that the other eateries around there might have a few cars, but Harry’s was always packed. Open front shack with picnic tables and bees.

When Rt 2 was built, it originally stopped before Colchester and picked up again after Colchester which left Harry’s still jumping. Why was Rt. 2 done that way? Harry’s. Place. Why such influence? The owner was Ruby Cohen (bo relation) who also happened to represent Colchester in the State Legislature. Ultimately the road had to be completed They opened a franchise years ago on Asylum St near Main in Hartford but for whatever reason it didn’t last long.

Going unhealthy, full fat once in a while is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Like scarfing down the dark chocolate bar you’ve been hiding from your family.

Oops, didn’t mean to mention that...

I believe Catsup and Mustard in Manchester is now closed.

I gotta do things to earn my keep around here







National Fried Chicken day is July 6..... so mark that on your calendar.

WHAT? That’s heresy to have National Fried Chicken day so close to July 4, which as we all know is Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Who the heck are the powers that be to proclaim such? Must be a Southerner....

Just had a cheeseburger in Amsterdam! Thanks for the reminder!

In my case, finishing all of the Halloween candy before any trick or treaters arrive.

Of course. You can't live within 30 minutes of New Haven without dropping by Louis' Lunch for a burger.

I did end up eating there on the way to Mohegan Sun for a couple of basketball games last November. It was a tasty hamburglar.

Did someone say hamburgers??

According to GQ and Oprah, the country's best burger is just a couple of miles up the road from where I live.

The link didn't work. Are you talking about Le Tub? It's not the best but it's good for the size. I like their fish dip.

Then again, who am I to argue with Alan Richman?

I'm doing my part: In-n-Out 2 days in a row, and grilling bacon cheeseburgers tonight.

What is catsup?

What is catsup?

It's what they put on Meow Mix to make it palatable.

Ive heard mixed things about them. I hear alot of westerners swear by them..... but people from the south who have eaten there say that CookOut (regional chain) is superior.

In-n-Out is very good for fast food. All fresh and cooked to order. Whole different product than McD's, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. But it's still fast food. Lacks the personality of a big, greasy burger.,

That said, they do have off menu (secret menu) items, such as "Animal Style" burgers, etc. Very, very good for fast food.

Cookout is ok, but most of their drive-thru help is incompetent.

Five Guys is the chain of choice in my area.

Yes, Le Tub! Let's try this link.

I think I read that Heinz changed their spelling from catsup to ketchup way back when to stand out better. And when the product took off so did that spelling.

I love their dogs, but I'm not a fan of their hamburglars.
