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

No one wants a yankee version of a Krystal. :crazy:

steak and shake is some pretty good grub...

Love the Shakes!

Being the burger aficionado that you must be, what about Red Robin? Any good?

I've been at the Knoxville location a couple times. I liked the burger. The fries not so much. It's pricey.

Cookout was mentioned. I like the value of the place, but I tend to stick with the chicken sandwiches instead of burgers there.

I like Five Guys for the fries. For the burger, I tend to over-order condiments and it becomes a sloshy mess. In-and-Out has comparable fries. The burger there is different from what we're used to because it's a California vibe where the lettuce is prominent and such. I love that place, though, simply because it's a required stop if I go to Vegas.

I should also talk about Tommy's in LA. I was tipped to go there by a friend from LA, and he said to get the chili cheeseburger. I did. When I tell you something is nasty, believe me, that burger was nasty. Got a cool Dodgers cup out of it, though.

Is that where The Library used to be back in day? I was a frequent customer then.

Pretty sure The Library was across the street? Turned into Hanna’s unless I am thinking of the wrong place.

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

I live in Jackson, and I’ve never been there. Drive through Brownsville weekly lol.

"Not going to the fence" or "Fix the sun" needs to be someone's VN handle.

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

There was a non-chain burger place our 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.

There was a Glico's, Is that it?

It's after 10 on the east coast. The best Grumors fall in the typical workday...9 to 5.

 

[Jravol78]

The original was in Antioch but he opened that one up too, about 6 months later he sold out and they opened about 5 more but it was never the same. Best burger I ever had, greasy but great.

you sure the little hole in the wall on 8th wasn't the original? Not doubting you I just thought the melrose one was 1st

 

[9296potsguy]

All these MCHS guys here, can't believe no one is bringing up slugburgers.
