You guys are making me salivate!!! Yummmmmmmmmm, Yummmmmmm, Yummmmmmmmmmmm!!! My husband and I are going to try a restaurant that has been here for ages but we haven't gone into yet. You see... it is very well known for its burgers BUT... it was also very very well known for its smoking environment, so I never wanted to go in there. Of all the stupid things they did a few years ago, they put in a non-smoking room as was the law then, but you had to walk through the bar and smoking room to get to it - NO THANKS!!! So, now with the no smoking in any restaurant in NY we can finally try the food there! Yea!!!  :rolleyes:

Yep - we did indeed get to the restaurant. After a 25 minute wait at the bar - not too bad for 7:30 on a Saturday night... we were seated at a teeny table for 2 - the place was mobbed. The food came out VERY quickly - hamburgers are their specialty - I got a spinach mushroom burger - what a MESS!!! But DELICIOUS!!! My husband got a cheddar mushroom - also very good. The most noticable thing was how very HOT the food came out. Often here we have to send the food back because it comes out ice cold - these burgers were sooooo hot that we could hardly bite into them for several minutes - wonderful! The food was very inexpensive too, and the waitresses were bustling around like crazy - my husband left an extra generous tip - we could not believe how devoted they were to their jobs. How was your dinner? Bet it was delicious!

AFGrey, I'm sooo glad you tried it and liked it... It's 11 pm right now. Think I'll go have some more! Toooo funny! I've been known to get up in the middle of the night and just take a big 'ole spoon and sneak into the bowl....  BTW, that sauce recipe Weez posted is a GREAT compliment to my 'tater salad.....

Hey Weezie... can you swing that jet a bit southward on your way west? I'd love to join ya! Wish some of you would come here and cook for us! If I say PRETTY PLEASE?!? My mother and I did a needlepoint wallhanging for her kitchen when I was a teen - it said: SCREW HOMECOOKING!   <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" /> I am not kidding - she has a great sense of humor, but hated to cook! When we lived with my parents when our son was 2-4 years old he would ask her what the picture said and she told him "Grandma doesn't like to cook!" I'll never forget that!
