There’s a small regional privately held chain here that makes a great burger, Cookout. Fries are great, too. Thick but soft and moist inside, crispy outside. No canola oil there. I always order a Huge Bacon Burger, large fries and a Cheerwine with crushed ice.
It’s hard to believe but back in the day Backyard Burger made an absolutely outstanding burger. It truly was like a burger you’d grill in the back yard, right down to the hand patted slightly irregular patties that were pink in the center. This is probably late ‘80s when they were first starting out. Since then they’ve really changed.
