I just bet that most of my readers don't know that there is
something the old Girlwatcher likes better than watching women.
"What could it be O' Watcher of the Gals", you say? "Eating", I
reply. But the old Girlwatcher don't eat just any old thing.
Like he ain't too crazy bout french fries
unless they the ones from Beef Burger in Greensboro and he don't
care much for sody pops. What the Girlwatcher likes is burgers. Cheeseburgers! Problem is that there are a lot of places that call themselves hamburger joints that don't even know what a real Carolina cheeseburger is. They broil them, bake them, hell they may even boil them but if you want a real burger, you got to fry that bad boy. Then slap it on the bun so it can soak up the juice. You Yankees say grease but the proper term is juice. Then the toppings! Ketchup and pickles on a burger? Give me a break. Mushrooms? Nope, fungus ain't got nothing to do with a burger. Pickles, olives, jalapenos? Oh Lord Child, how were you raised? Lettuce, tomato and Mayo? Well, if you are a wimp or wearing your Sunday best, go ahead. But if you want a real, true down home Carolina burger, it comes with mustard, chili, slaw and onions. That is a tasty, juicy, grab the napkins cause it's going down your chin burger! I tried one of these places here a while back when it first came to Greensboro. They got up signs all over the place bout how they voted the best burgers in Boston & DC and all kind of them foreign places. I admit they know how to cook a burger but if you want it with any American toppings, bring them with you. They ain't even got chili! Good thing they on the north side of town where all the New York immigrants are, cause they won't sell that stuff on the south side where real folks live. Okay, I said all that to say all this; If you want a burger good enough to make you smack your mama, or just one that will make you smack your lips, head on down to Andy's Cheeseburgers! Old fashioned? Darn right. I grew up in the Sixty's and I ain't had a burger that good since they closed the old Southeast Truck Stop. Well, BR-549 got close but this is the real thing. Ain't just the burgers neither. When you go in, they yell "Hey!" at you and make you feel right at home. Don't go standing in no line, go sit down and they will come to you like it ought to be. Be ready when they walk up cause most of the waitresses are real lookers and they are wearing the old poodle skirts and sweaters just like when the old boy here first starting noticing gals. The whole place will take you back to them days with old rock and roll music playing softly, furnishing that look like the old soda shops on Happy Days and friendly service like we don't see anymore. The folks who started Andy's ain't from someplace else either. These people grew up here eating real NC burgers and loving them. Ain't none of this "Carolina Burgers" like you see served at some places at certain times of the year. They just call them cheeseburgers and figure you know what that means. So take my word and go easing down South Elm St, weave your way thru Wendy's, Cracker Barrel and BoJangles to the back road, park in front of Andy's and walk right in. I promise you will love it, unless you one of them burger hating yankees. You dummies don't even know to put grease in beans, how you gonna know what a real burger is. Oh yeah! They ain't paying me nothing to put this in here. They don't even know I am writing it but you know I want only the best for our readers and Andy's is it. Just for giggles, tell them the Girlwatcher sent you and watch the look on their face. Hehe See y'all next time, DA Pro |
