I’d never had a hamburger with chili sauce on it until we moved to N. Carolina years ago. I can’t remember if they put cheese on it or not, but it was very good.

Waylon even took his wife here for their 20th Wedding Anniversary:

Long ago we saw Waylon in concert (quite the entertainer), also Johnny Cash and Conway Twitty. All are very fond memories (and a few photos in my album). It was a different world then.....

If you’re ever in Minneapolis, a jucy lucy is a must-try. (no that is not a mispelling)

A lucy is two burger patties stuffed with molten cheese that’ll burn your mouth if you don’t bite into it carefully. There’s always a hot debate among Minneapolitans about where the lucy originated, but I’ll always go with Matt’s Bar. I lived not far from the place for many years and enjoyed countless jucy lucy’s. They’re great with a cold Grain Belt tap beer and a basket of crispy fries.

There's a regional chain in the inland northwest called Taco Time that carries a taco burger like what you describe.

They also were in the Portland area when we traveled through. The best thing about the chain IMHO was the hot sauce. I would buy that by the gallon if possible.

No. Is it local?

The green chili cheese burger looks awesome. This place looks like a place to try too:

Camp Bowie in Ft. Worth ( the original) if its still there..

Also one in Southlake.

They don’t mess around. You won’t have room for fries or onion rings ( hand made onion rings )

I have been to Keller's

There is no percentage in messing around. ☺

Here is a Washington DC favorite: http://www.fiveguys.com/home.aspx

Five Guys is expanding all over the Southeast. I search them out whenever I'm traveling.

I have heard of that one but have never been.

The Buckhorn Tavern is right down the road (about 100 yards) from the Owl Bar.

Hard to beat this place, they even have fender-lizards!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Right on Central!

Yup. In-n-Out Animal Double Double (Not on the menu but they will make it if you ask) is my all time favorite. There was an In-n-Out across the street from my High School in SoCal back in 1962. They’ve spread out since then into a fairly large chain but I find myself again in Clifornia and had the opportunity to have one recently for the first time in a lot of years. I am pleased to find that they are as good as ever.

I was surprised to see that the menu board has not changed in all these years:

Hamburger
Cheese Burger
Double-Double
Fries
Pepsi
Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry shakes

That’s all. And that is enough.
