A GOOD BURGER JOINT IS HARD TO FIND

****
FIRST OF ALL ,LET ME SAY THANK YOU TO ALL WHO RESPONDED WITH THEIR FAVORITE BURGER JOINT . THERE WERE MANY OLD OAKHAVEN HAWKS WHO WROTE IN . THOSE BOYS & GIRLS KNOW THEIR BURGERS .

LET US BEGIN BY STATING WHAT A BURGER JOINT IS .

A BURGER JOINT IS THE SAME AS A BEER JOINT JUST A DIFFERENT POINT OF EMPHASIS. WHEN I SAY BEER JOINT YOU DON'T VISUALIZE A BUNCH OF MARKET ANALYSIS IN THOUSAND DOLLAR SUITS STANDING AROUND SIPPING BEER OUT OF A GLASS .
A BURGER JOINT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A HOLE IN THE WALL BUT MOST SEEM TO BE . THERE IS NOT MUCH FORMAL WEAR AT THE BURGER JOINT .

I WILL START BY NAMING MY TOP 5 BURGER JOINTS . THEN WILL DISCUSS THE ONES YOU NAMED .
MY PICKS ARE :
1. KINCADE'S - FORT WORTH ,TEXAS
USED TO BE A GROCERY STORE BUT THEY WERE SELLING FAR MORE BURGERS SO THEY SWITCHED OVER . GREAT PLACE WITH SEVERAL TYPES OF BURGERS.

2. FRED'S - FORT WORTH ,TEXAS
A REAL HONKY TONK WITH LIVE MUSIC ON THE COURTYARD LATE AT NIGHT . HAS BEEN REBUILT AFTER FIRE DESTROYED MOST OF THE PLACE . JALAPEÑOS HEAT UP THIS BURGER .

3. PHILLIPS GROCERY - HOLLY SPRINGS ,MISSISSIPPI
MANY OF YOU HAD THIS ON YOUR LIST . ANOTHER GROCERY STORE TURNED BURGER JOINT . PRETTY MUCH A DUMP BUT FANTASTIC BURGERS . ACROSS THE STREET FROM AN ABANDONED DEPOT .

4. BUSTER'S - MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE
A HANG OUT FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS & BIKERS THE BUSTER BURGER IS WONDERFUL . JUST STAY CLEAR OF THE POOL TABLES & YOU WILL BE OKAY .

5. DEAN'S - MILAN ,TENNESSEE
A BEER JOINT THAT CONVERTED . THE PLACE IS A REAL DUMP . MAXIMUM SEATING IS LESS THAN 15 BUT THE BURGERS ARE SENSATIONAL . THE PRICE IS RIGHT ALSO .

HERE ARE SOME OF THE ONES YOU SENT IN :

1. ANN'S SNACK BAR - ATLANTA ,GEORGIA
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FROM A GIRL WHO KNOWS HER BURGERS .

2. SOUTH MEMPHIS MARKET - MEMPHIS ,TENNESSEE
IF YOU ARE ON FLORIDA STREET IN MEMPHO & WANT A BURGER ,THIS IS THE PLACE . FROM AN OHS HAWK .

3. BUDDY'S - DICKSON , TENNESSEE
COMES FROM AN OLD RED DEVIL WHO LOVES THIS PLACE . SAYS THERE IS ALWAYS A LINE .

4. IRIE'S ON THE SQUARE - OXFORD ,MISSISSIPPI
OWNED BY A FORMER FOOTBALL PLAYER . MAY HAVE BEEN THE SMARTEST TACKLE I COACHED . HIS BURGERS ARE MAKING A LOT OF NOISE IN REBEL LAND .

5.SODA STEVE'S - GORE OKLAHOMA
COMES FROM A BURGER CONNOISSEUR FROM LITTLEFIELD TEXAS , HIM & WAYLON JENNINGS . WHEN IN OKIE LAND TRY STEVE'S.

6.STINKERBELL'S - BARTLETT ,TENNESSEE
YES THIS IS THE NAME . SORT OF OFF THE BEATEN PATH BUT WORTH THE HUNT .

7. VELVET CREAME - HERNANDO , MISSISSIPPI
I WAS SHOCKED HOW MANY PEOPLE PRAISED VELVET CREAME . LAST ONE I HAD A YEAR OR SO AGO WAS GOOD BUT IT DIDN'T SET MY HEART ON FIRE .

8. MENSI'S - COLLIERVILLE TENNESSEE
STILL A FAVORITE FOR COLLIERVILLE FOLKS . SIMILAR TO VELVET CREAME .

9.TOOT & TELL IT - DYER , TENNESSEE
BEEN DOING BURGERS FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS . WHEN THE DYER EAGLES WERE FLYING PLAYERS ATE FREE AFTER THE GAME . RIGHT DR. WINE

10. HANDY HOUSE - MEDINA ,TENNESSEE
NOT MUCH OF A BURGER JOINT BUT A GOOD PLACE TO SIT ON THE HOOD OF YOUR CAR & SOCIALIZE . SPENT TOO MUCH OF MY YOUTH THERE .

BUTCHER SHOP , BUCKLEY'S & CHRISTIE'S WERE NAMED BUT I THINK THEY ARE CHAINS .
