Went to lunch at Bill's Jumbo Burgers and this dawned on me as a good topic. As a rule, I'm telling you up front these should be locally owned/operated places and generally not chains, as opposed to McDonald's and Red Robin. I'm looking for local places . . . you can get that kind of chain stuff anywhere. Plus, if you post it I'll make fun of you.

My list:
1) Bill's Jumbo Burgers; Xanthus and Admiral. Funky little wooden building. Weird fundamentalist stuff on the walls. Really damn good. Has always been really damn good.
2) Weber's; Brookside. This place doesn't get enough love. Root beer is really the draw (get the root beer freeze). The comination of great root beer and burgers makes it #2.
3) JJ's; 6th and Peoria. Weird as hell. Overpriced. Doesn't keep normal hours. Don't call it a hamburger, whatever you do. Gourmet ribeye burgers are great.
4) Claude's; Brookside. They finally got rid of the "we grind our own meat" sign a few years back. Always got a laugh out of that since they are across the street from a funeral home. Anywho, nothin' wrong with this place at all. Good prices, too. Got food poisoning there once, so it's lower on my list than the quality indicates.
5) (My curveball) The Mediterranean burger at Wild Fork; feta and other good Greek stuff on pita. I thought my lady was nuts when ordered this. Now I live for it.
6) Green bean burger at Brother's Houlighan; weird, but strangely wonderful.
7) Ron's. Ron's used to be an easy #1. But they moved in around the corner from me and I've become a regular. I've decided that their frito chili pie and chicken are better than their burgers. Their burgers are very good, but I'm not sure they are as good as they used to be.


There are others, but I must stop or I'll have to eat something.

FWIW, I'm not ranking the McNellie's burger because I think it's the most overrated thing in this town since Hanson. Nice burger, not remotely worth the hysteria on Wednesday nights.

Thought it was high time to have a counter thread to Aston’s . Will start with this gem

The stage is set for one of the biggest jury deliberations in the history of our country ?

Reading through the updates it sounds like trump's lawyer did not do a bang up job.

The 3* QB from Muskogee will be committing on July 4th, as of now he has a top 3 of Tulsa, UNLV, and Utah State. A lot of services are predicting him to Tulsa, he is a LH QB who is very athletic and would be a really nice pickup for this staff if they land him. I predict his recruiting will take off once the season starts. @Chris Harmon

I glance at the portal, football portal, and you can still see a lot of players available. I’m sure most of these players are in there for a reason.

How many scholarships are available?

Last, any opportunity to add Juco players at this juncture?

I know this might trigger Huffy but...

We are in Fort Lauderdale right now for a couple of days before a cruise, right on the beach. It is miserable hot and muggy! Every time I have been here (always summer or spring) it is unconfortably muggy and usually way too warm. I don't even want to go outside.

Perhaps if I visited in December I would have a different opinion. But I feel like, if I had to live here, I would be compelled to go somewhere else at least half the year. I don't like it at all. California is so much better for beach life. Or even north Atlantic like Delaware or Maryland - those trips were so much more comfortable and enjoyable.

I don’t hate it

comming to CBS in July.

This would make a great home and home rival for future scheduling...

I’d bet we don’t finish this low. More middle of the pack, especially since we don’t play Memphis or Tulane.

This is the only magazine I look at for college football. It’ll be interesting to see what Steele/Wilson have to say about our team.

Just as I feared... January 6th is going to become a Beerhall Putsch for Trump and his insane followers.

This is exactly why Trump should have been convicted when he was impeached.

Several 2025 prospects have set official visits to TU this summer...

So Chris Richards is now featuring for Crystal Palace at a center back spot. He has had a really strong game against Man United today. He's clamped down on Rashford and had a 70 yard run to track down and tackle the ball away from Antony who got the ball on a quick counter. Crystal Palace earned a 1-1 draw with United.
