Chuck A Burger lunch

[Bob Correll]

There used to be several Chuck-A-Burgers in the St Louis area, they are down to one, and I haven't been there in ages.
As a teen, in the '60s, CAB and Steak & Shake is where you went to cruise, and I think the remaining CAB still has cruise nights.

I made my own chuck burger for lunch, starting with a thick slice of bacon.

1/3 lb. patty with Oakridge Santa Maria.

Wanted to use up some small pieces of lump, they were burning up too fast, so I took the center grate to the basement.

Maybe not as good as the real deal, but darn good!

In my haste to chow down, I didn't notice the falling pickle until after the fact.

Happy TGIF everyone, thanks for the visit!

Love the picture, we used to cruise a huge Carl's burger joint. I had my 289 HIPO 271 hp fastback mustang then, good times. Barb and I are doing burgers tonight and a little flavor test. Hope ours come out as nice as yours did, great looking burger.

Maybe not as good as the real deal, but darn good!

That IS the real deal. Awesome burger.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Great looking burger Bob. I think we all had a CAB in our home towns, or at least some version of it. Love that GTO in the forefront Think it's a 68. I had a 69. Hits home!

Maybe not as good as the real deal, but darn good!

9 days out of 10, I think I'd prefer your deal there Bob! Cool pics though

 

[JRAiona]

Awesome looking burger Bob.

 

[Brad Olson]

That's a '65, Cliff. If someone gave me a choice between it and Bob's burger I'd probably have to think about it for a bit.

Hey...maybe this should be Bob's avatar!

 

[Nate Frost]

Great lookin burger and photos!

 

[ChuckO]

Nothing better than a grilled burger, yours is spot on

 

[Bob H.]

Bob, your ChuckAburger parking lot shot reminds me of the old Skips Fiesta from days of old. Your burger though looks ready to eat right now. I'd like 2 please.

Really nice burger buddy. And potato salad too. Love see a picture from the time of your youth. Photos perfect as always, of course
