It was Rumorz and it was on the strip. $5 liquor pitchers.

what a **** show that place was

Ok, question for those in South Knox/ Northern Blount County in the '70's and '80's:

There was a non-chain burger place out by the airport on Old Maryville Pike, except that out there I think it was Old Knoxville Hwy?? Anyway, not on All-Kill-Ya Hwy, or at least I don't believe so.

It had amazing burgers that actually had flavor, and it began with what I call a Scrabble letter: Q, X, Y, or Z.

Xeno's? Completely making things up here in terms of names, but it was amazing. Went out of business.

Edit to add: maybe it WAS on Alcoa/ Airport Hwy. I don't think so, because it was sort of sleepy and slow, but Murrville Pike doesn't really feel right, either.

Edit yet again: it was GLCO's, pronounced Glico's. I'm starting to think that it was on Alcoa Hwy, or just off. Thanks to GBO25, VolInNorthCack (me, too!), and Sona. :hi:

Telling my age here, but I miss Blue Circle, and Scotties...

There's still a Blue Circle in Bristol.

Oh yeah, used to get the mushroom burger over in Morristown back in the day...

Haha I live in Morristown. I remember those mushroom and Swiss burgers. Remember Druther's?

We still have Backyard Burger around here. I don't eat there but once every year or two but it is good.

yeah they finally reopened that one over on Elmhill.they have a hellacious chili cheeseburger

Been developing for a while, just been too drunk to acknowledge it. I've got an unresolved guilt complex about loving anyone, and I've been told loving me for any length of time induces ptsd.

Okay. Don't stop drinking and you'll pull through this. I am here for you man.

Hey if you’re from Coffee county and everyone’s talking burgers, what’s your thoughts on Jiffy Burger? I haven’t had one in a long time but they used to be very solid.

Yes the bonnaroo burger is killer.

 

[Harvester]

Was it done for comedy purposes? If so, I’m sorry i missed it.[/QUOTE


Nope. That's what made it amazing. Dude was "undercover" and didn't want to get caught. It became insane when other fans started pulling into the parking lot, complete with a Gruden sign.

The complete recording is still online. I'll see if I can find the link again.

Hubbs being at the airport means he doesn't have any idea what's up. Kinda funny

@fakelexsteve has a pretty interesting string of tweets explaining the plane situation

Why aren't there Whitecastles in East TN, or are there any?

Closest one to East Tn I am aware of is in Murfreesboro but it's one of those gas station / fast food joints.

what a **** show that place was

Indeed it was. Definitely had a few nights there that I don’t fully recall.

 

[utfann1962]

Used to be one off Nolensville Rd in Nashville near where the zoo is now.

there was one by rivergate in nashville

 

[LakeMaryFLVol]

It wasn’t done for comedy purposes however it ended up being hilarious

“Not going to the fence “😂

I remember that place. Several children were probably conceived on the property.

 

[tidybowlchamps]

Any of my West TN people who have had Bells, where would you rank it?

9/10. Just remember to have cash because they don't take debit or credit cards.

It a close second to the Burger Basket in Brownsville. Bells is good though.

Main Street Meats. Chattanooga. Best hamburger in Tennessee

Tremont Tavern's burger in Chatt is better, IMO

 

[rhinoblake]

Charleys pizza is the best thing north of knoxville in east tn

Stayed at Mt McCloud and had Charley’s pizza a couple years ago. Both were fantastic

Gotta start somewhere, right?

I’m hungry now

Never fails. Somehow in the slow periods, food always comes into the convo. And I always end up wanting some terrible food. Well, good taste-wise, but terrible.

Wait so what’s up with the Vegas betting odds??

Went from +180 to Even money and now have been removed completely again.

Who knows.

 

[KB5252]

The original Fat Mo's in South Nashville was the best burger I ever had. Once he sold out it was never the same.
