Who’s been to Dovie’s in KY?


 
Never been there. I posted this video last week in a "best burger" thread. I looked at the location on the map and it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere - even for Kentucky. I asked AI and it said the grease is soybean oil. AI tells me soybean oil is heart healthy! So I actually bought some soybean oil and I am planning on trying the cook - maybe today. BTW, pickled onions, mentioned in the vid, are really good on a burger! I tried it and it was outstanding. The farmer's daughter burger, in Capon Bridge, West Virginia, have been voted best burger in Appalachia and the pickled red onions are on that burger. As the guy in the video promises: "It don't git no better than that."

Awesome! Thank you.

I’ll challenge you in healthy soybean oil. Maybe, maybe not. We won’t eat it. But I’ve become a bish on which products I’ll use or allow in the house.

I’ve made some fatties, a plump, fat burger, in CI and cooked as a 70/30 to start. Those burgers were “swimming” when cooking. Sure, juicy. Great? Jury was out that day.

Please share your experience if you follow through on your experiment/experience.

I’m future planning a stupid trip for somewhere down the road to see and experience old school America. I’m down to find gems like this place , if they’re worth the miles and drive.

Sorry I missed your original post and double posted this.

I did enjoy the folk eating there though. As a city kid, I’ve always held a fondness for normal people. Because city people, well, aren’t that normal, at least that’s my own opinion.

For anyone reading this, I sure do miss Quarry’s Steak house in Climax, NY. Maybe someone here can relate.

Publicans in Manhasset NY did make an excellent bacon Swiss mushroom burger too. And the beers were very cold.

lol @ "normal people"

I'm a bit of a burger nut. When making my own, I've decided I prefer ground chuck 80/20. 73/27 or "prime ground beef" etc sounds good but in reality it's just too greasy IMO.

If you're doing a walkabout to Kentucky, you might as well check out the Farmer's Daughter burger in West Virginia too. I have not been there yet, but it's on my short list. It's a two hour drive for me. A Washington Post food critic gave it very high marks a few years ago.
