Raise your hand if you like Thanksgiving

foodbeast.com Thanksgiving BurgerGround turkey burger topped with stuffing, turkey gravy, cranberry sauce and a generous helping of sage mayonnaise. A mainstay on the Slater’s 50/50 menu, and a perfect idea all year around, but even more mouthwatering as the days preluding Thanksgiving get fewer and fewer.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I know this isn’t beef BUT this is f’ing AWESOME.  You know its a good thing and delicious when Baconators are served as sides.

Across America ILLINOIS:

Boston Blackies

Suntimes.com-At one time, I lived close enough to the original Boston Blackie’s on East Grand Avenue to be a regular customer. If I wanted a good hamburger fix, “Blackie’s” came to mind. In recent years a plethora of restaurants, including some top steakhouses, have jumped on the hamburger bun, so getting a terrific hamburger is not such a big deal anymore.

As much as I loved Boston Blackie’s burgers, I hated their steak fries. Why waste calories on planks of tasteless mush? Blackie’s steak fries are still not all that great, but I am bowled over by the “homestyle fries.” The mini-fry basket holds enough potatoes — thinly sliced, stacked, texturally perfect, incredibly delicious — to handle at least two people, but I nearly finished the whole basket on my own. Probably the best $2.39 I have paid for any side dish anywhere.

Across America, IDAHO: Grumpy’s

Grumpy’s Restaurant
726 N. 4th Street,
Coeur d’Alene.

It was kind of like the good old days, at least closer than I’d thought I’d ever get again. When my mother asked me a few weeks ago where I’d like her and my stepdad to take me for my birthday dinner, I absolutely had to go with Grumpy’s, a new restaurant located in midtown Coeur d’Alene. It was the perfect choice not only because birthdays do tend to make me grumpy, but also because long ago, every family birthday and special occasion meant getting together for a meal and celebratory drink or two (or five) at Henry’s, a now-defunct eatery once owned by Grumpy’s co-owner Joe Chapman.

Now that’s what I am talking about.  Get me some of that Scotch Fillet Steak and let’s wash it down the gizzard with some Bourbon.  Oh..bacon doesn’t go with that….HA LOLZ!

Usatoday.com-The opposing view of USA TODAY’s child obesity debate, “Put children’s health first,” stated the obvious (Nov. 9).Of course, everyone wants to put the health of children first, but this shouldn’t come at the expense of common sense. Introducing unwanted government legislation into the lives of families is a gross violation of common sense.

No doubt, San Francisco Supervisor Eric Mar is trying to make a name for himself and deems sponsoring the Happy Meal ordinance a civil service. But surely there are more important duties supervisors can be performing outside of governmental parenting.
