Weekend Wrapup
Posted In: Random Lashing Out
I busted it down to the Lou on Friday night to witness the Cards sealing the deal in the NL Central. Busch Stadium needs to wake up…like my belly. Report:
Friday, 2:15 PM. Newton, IA. Culver’s. 
The Bacon Butterburger Deluxe is the best in the business, and I hooked up the jumbo (with fries and refreshing beverage). The BBD is the only burger I know of that needs no condiment. I get it with the tomato, lettuce, pickle and onion. Nothing else, and you have to ask them to hold the cheese, mustard and mayo because those are default items. The BBD is the undisputed champion of drive-thru burgers, so it hit leadoff.
“Challenge him! a’ight?! Make sure your people is there to see the game, cuz you just might get embarrassed.“
Saturday, 4 PM. Exit 325 on I-70 (St. Louis). Lion’s Choice. Any roast beef sandwich there is more than sufficient. Luckily, I took off my Pujols jersey before I was attacked by a giant BBQ beef sandwich. **The important thing is that you ask for some roast been seasoning with your fries (just ask for it…they know what to do). Then empty the contents of the food bag (yes…the big brown bag containing all your food, etc.), and dump the fries and the seasoning in there. Shake the bag. Then dump the bag in your mouth like Popeye eating a can of spinach. Their fries are not good without the seasoning…if you eat ‘em Soupy Trump style, they’re golden. Shout to the LC…I don’t get to come see you enough.
**This is Pumpkin’s style…I just borrowed it.
Sunday, 1:30 AM. Iowa City. Steak ‘n Shake. (after putting all the tired little Hawkeye fans to bed fresh from a redass beatdown)
I got a milkshake and a chili mac. I don’t remember the name of the shake. Something to do with Turtles.
No…not that Turtle. Besides, that’s Pumpkin anyway. Steak ‘n Shake took over 30 minutes to make my chili mac. The shake was cash, so I just sat there and drank it and didn’t say a word.
Sunday, noon. Taco Bell is barely even edible sometimes…and this place was doin their very best. At least you can get a founatin Pepsi.
I also ate a bratwurst at Busch Stadium, and I’m boycotting all food from that place forever. I will swear to the fact that I scarfed down a metaball sub in that place this July from a concession stand right behind home plate on the bottom level. No more meatball subs…we wouldn’t want to distract you from $8 beers and the souvenier shop.
There it is…

When was the last time you hit Be-Bop’s? Be-Bop’s is pretty awesome, and I know some husky dudes that claim that it’s the best burger ever. I ain’t goin’ that far, but I dig it.
By the way, when you click on that little Culver’s logo in your post, a bigass one pops on your screen. It cracked me up.
We can conduct a taste test on 73rd Street…right in front of Be-Bop’s. I’ll pull customers out of the Be-Bop’s line to ask them if they like their little clock-radio-speakers Be-Bop’s burger better than a BBD. I’ll buy Be-Bop’s for everybody in you can find 5 people out of 10 who’d rather eat Be-Bop’s over Culver’s.
Be-Bop’s is kinda money, though.
I was called Turtle and Lion’s Choice was outstaged by Culvers…….hmmmmmm
2 Red Cards = Ejection.
I should admit that this post reflects some very good work, although I *am* confused as to whether you are retired or on the bench, or in the game.
I assume you’re in the game.
semi-retired…but still a consultant
