Something very cool happened today. I found a new old hamburger joint.
It's Taylor's Old Fashion Steakburgers (yeah, I know the name's ungrammatical. It just adds to the attraction) in Springfield, Mo.
Taylor's has been around since 1947 and serves the old-school thin hamburgers -- sorry, steakburgers -- from meat ground fresh each day. Yes, there's a difference.
I got the double cheese with ham. It was worth the cholesterol.
Interesting note: The menu shows prices from 1955, listing a "Winstead's Steakburger" for, I think, 30 cents. So, being naturally nosy, I asked the waitress about the connection.
"Oh," she said, clearly used to answering the question. "Taylor married a Winstead."
Burger alliances by marriage. Who'd have guessed?
Oh, and I made the Jeopardy contestant pool. Whew.

Rum Vanilla tea?
Can you spell D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S?
Taylor's is still an awesome springfield hangout spot. It makes me want to daytrip again. I rue the day I lost the title to my car...oh,well, I will get it back with patience.
30 cent burger? That poor price on a delectable platter makes my stomach warm, fluffy and homesick for its old diet.
*dances(again) in congrats for contestant pool entry
