yeah, I do love seafood....but

This must be a joke.

What kind of joke? I'm must asking a valid question K!

In the 70's Akroyd, Belushi, and Murray did a takeoff on the Chicago landmark Billygoat Tavern by Wrigley field, complete with the goat curse. Cheeborger, cheeborger, cheeborger, cheeborger, no pepsi, coke.

We like burgers at Red Bar and Shades. Unfortunately, Red Bar doesn't serve them at dinner. But that's cool, because some of us have agreed on other posts that a big burger and fries at lunch is a good cure for a hangover. It always worked when we lived in NOLA as undergrads. Still works when our sunset parties at SoWal get elongated. :funn:

Shades is gone as you may know, but the new one in Inlet Beach is probably the same burger. Shades had, and the Red Bar has, mediocre burgers but are probably better if you have an empty beach stomach and/or hangover.

I know about the Shades move. You're probably right about the burgers. Red Bar's atmosphere just makes everything good. And anyone who knows me knows that the sports bar atmosphere at Shades adds to my enjoyment of casual dining - I love watching college football and basketball!

I had a Red Bar cheeseburger at lunch today. Preformed frozen patty, way overcooked. I'll stay away from it in the future.

Believe it or not, that's much better than any burger you could get in our town "near the ATL." I don't count chain restaurants (you know, Ruby Tuesday's, Appleby's, etc.) as good dining (major exception: Houston's). Where we live, an 8-pack of ramen for 84 cents is not bad in comparison to what is available (based on cost/quality). One reason why we just invested in our third residence (in Midtown Atlanta).

OMG. Houston's. Is anything on the Houston's menu bad? I don't think it is. What is with that place. I ate there 2 times last week.

Occasionally we have a soggy bun with the burger, but that's it. I just HEART Houston's! Love the grilled chicken salad, love the grilled tuna salad, love the salmon, love the veggie side dishes (even the Brussels sprouts), love the ribs, love the bag, love the shoes, love everything. OOPS! The last part was from My Best Friend's Wedding.

going back to post number 1, is there a Houston's on 30A?

...is the reason you were able to invest in your third residence, the ramen noodles????

My head is spinning.

Oh Beach Runner, you've just given me the best giggle of the day. :clap_1: Did you really buy a condo in Atlanta for the love of a good burger? That's even better than me telling Merman he needed to buy me a condo in SoWal because our collection of coffee mugs overfilled the kitchen cabinets (...if you bought me a condo, dear, I'd have a place to put all this stuff... :roll: ). Heck, if I'd have pled guilty to wanting a burger, he'd have gotten me a condo ten years ago! You have the food angle down pat. My hat's off to you.

Oh, honey, not just for good burgers (although sometimes you just *need* a good burger, know what I'm saying?), but for good food in general (and minimizing the distance we travel after having a few adult beverages). You crack me up!

Well, what I'm saying is that if the best dining choice you have without having to cook is 84 cent ramen noodles, you might want to consider how to spend more time in a larger town. It's hard for you (and my sister) to relate to this because you both are spoiled by Dallas.

You're right, though. The initial response to my logic might be, "OMG! She's on hallucinogens."

dd is spoiled, too!!!!
