Biggest 'Burger in The Valley

For quite some time, friends around here have asked us if we had eaten at the place with the "Biggest 'Burger in The Valley". They had told us where it's located, but it's in a semi-residential neighborhood with no sign out front and no signs on the building. We were told that it looks kind of like an old Tastee Freeze building. The restaurant doesn't even have a name.

So, with no signs and no name, how do we recognize it? We were told to just look for all the cars out front. We tried that once, but couldn't find any place with a lot of cars out front. It turned out we were looking for the place on a Sunday afternoon . . . the only day of the week they are closed.

Today, Friday, we thought we would make another attempt to locate the place with the "Biggest 'Burger in The Valley". Sure enough, there it was hidden behind a street full of cars . . . all Winter Texan vehicles with out-of-state license plates. We had to park a block away as both sides of the street were full even though this is the only business in the area!




As we entered the building, we saw a serving counter behind which was a grill covered with giant 'burgers. Beside it were a couple of deep fryers full of french fries and onion rings. There were only four employees; one taking orders, one frying 'burgers, one tending the deep fryers, and one assembling and calling out the orders for pick-up.

The only menu items were singles, doubles, triples, with or without cheese or bacon plus french fries or onion rings.






We placed our order for a couple of single cheeseburgers and an order of onion rings, then sat down to wait for our order to be called out.

The room was full of Winter Texans, some of whom had driven 30-40 miles just for the "Biggest 'Burger in the Valley".










The 'burgers lived up to their reputation . . . 'burger and bun at least 7 inches in diameter and nearly one-half inch thick. Carole had a hard time eating the whole thing!




How any one could possibly eat a double, let alone a triple, is mind boggling! This may not have been the best 'burger in The Valley, but it certainly was the "Biggest 'Burger in The Valley" . . . and now, when we're really, really hungry, we know where to get one, but we'll be smarter next time and only order one and share it.
