Well it has been a rainy day here in Tupelo. Two tired people decided touring was not on the agenda for today. We did need to forage for food and Mary wanted to look for some sweats. As I have told you before we do not eat at chain restaurants available back home. On a road trip, try something new. Well we found this butcher shop that also had a counter and some tables. Supposed to have a killer burger.
If you ever find yourself in Tupelo, stop HERE for a meal. A burger to die for. Internet being funky so could not get full list of stuff on burger, but meat, two patties worth, is this:
Smash Grind Aged filet, ribeye, new york strip, Sirloin, and Benton's Bacon. Rich and Smokey, and the BEST burger in the world.
Had cheese, bacon bits, pickled onions, home made pickles and some sauces. May not be the best, but would be damn hard to beat! Wonderful meal, delightful laid back atmosphere, nice people.
Speaking of people: even at Wally World people are more polite here than in Florida...
Northern Alabama is very pretty with nice hardwood covered hills...
Because it has been raining I have been going through our trip expenses. We have eaten our weight in crab cakes, shrimp, other sea food and bar b que. Did not have a set budget, but for the sake of our waist lines,and wallet, we need to cut back. Way back...But damn we have sampled the local cuisine.
carpe diem...
