chuck-a-burger

kirsten’s been having a really rough go of things lately, so we spent last night at my place
watching movies and laying around. i don’t have a lot to give her, so i try to be there for her to hang out with and be able to talk to at least. the next morning i went over to her place so we could get some food, and i’m on my mission to do things that aren’t the usual. she was willing to take a chance on my idea, and we went to chuck-a-burger.

she was a little nervous about it at first (she’s not big on new things that aren’t clean and trendy, her ‘minds eye’ likes to make up all kinds of reasons not to do them). but god love her, she took the chance at the greasy north side burger hut. chuck-a-burger used to be a well established chain of the classic 50’s burger joint. what once was many locations all over the metro-area now only has two locations, but their location on St. Charles Rock Road still has car-hops! sadly, kirsten wasn’t up for taking things that low... and lets face it, the picture above
isn’t really a true representation of how the place looks today - but it was still totally worth it.

we just got the basics, splitting a cup of chili and then a couple burgers. it wasn’t Carl’s, but it was great greasy spoon nevertheless.
