  • I worked at Whataburger while I was in college at AI in AZ. They do have a bomb burger. The chicken was decent too. Ah, I miss me some Jack-in-the-box.

    Whataburger was a favorite of mine in the short. I lived in Texas. And it's too bad we don't have Jack in the Box here. Five guys makes a damn good burger.

    When in the North Hill section of Akron don't forget to try Louies.

    Zombo you only eat McDonalds when you are drunk off your ass and making bad decisions... My brother, that's probably what, 3 or 4 times a week? 🙂

    There is someone else.... Where in TX did you live?

    I spent a short time in Dickinson, Deer Park and Hurst.

    I spent the 5th and 7th grades among those three towns. When I was 21 father went down again for a few years to Dallas and I visited them.

    and when the band was on the road we played Houston, Dallas, Lubbock, El Paso and probably a couple other towns.

  • I worked at the Red Barn in Ft. Lauderdale Fla. for six weeks. Sunrise Blvd. They had the Big Barney...essentially their version of a Big Mac. Their corporate HQ was in Ft. Lauderdale.

    It was a big chain at one time. There was a Red Barn right across from my high school that did a ton of business.

    You still occasionally see an old Red Barn Building....converted to something else. They have a distinctive style.

    The one in Norton and the one in Ft. Lauderdale are both gone now.

    the red barn in sandusky was famous for their chicken. it was a staple of my childhood. too bad they just tore it down.

    saw one about 8 years ago when i drove a friends truck full of furniture out to telluride. it was a lot different than what i had remembered. more upscale family restaurant.

    It was probably not part of the Red Barn fast food chain. That went out of business decades ago. That may have been a place that was able to use the Red Barn name even though not affiliated with the former chain.

  • http://www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/article/20140408/SPORTS/304080002/Costner-calls-Draft-Day-next-classic-sports-movie I like this guy.

    So, if Costner did hold the title of Cleveland Browns general manager for this draft, would he be interested in Johnny Manziel, Jadeveon Clowney or Sammy Watkins?

    “I don’t know, you had a quarterback who looked like he was emerging last year and he was hurt,” Costner said. “Obviously you want a quarterback but it’s not a quarterback problem.

    “You have a guy (Brian Hoyer) who showed he can play. Listen, I think the whole league wants to see Cleveland win. I’d like to see them win, and I think they will win. It just would be nice to see you guys make the playoffs.”

    When pressed a little bit more to make a pick, Costner — just like a good GM prior to the draft — did his best to avoid answering the question.

    “You should just keep going for defense because I think you have some good offense players, I really do,” Costner said. “I think if you’ve ever played, the one thing you hate is to have people in your face. And if you create a defense that’s in your face, there’s nobody that’s going to want to play the Cleveland Browns.”

    I am curious as to who Costner's favorite team might be. He is from Southern California but moved around a lot over the years (mostly in various places in SoCal). He maybe could have been a Rams or Raider fan, but I don't know if he has much allegiance to either of them.

    He will be on Rich Eisen's podcast next week and I'm sure they'll talk about who his favorite team is on that. He lives in Colorado now I think so he's probably a Broncos fan.

    right. after researching it more i realized the difference between the franchise fast food places started in mid-ohio and the place i visited years ago was the red barn steakhouse chain.

    Was The Red Barn started in Central Ohio? I didn't think so. As noted, their national HQ was in Ft. Lauderdale.

    Wendy's was started in Central Ohio right? Columbus, by Dave Thomas?

  • Yep, and wasnt White Castle also?

  • Screen_shot_2014_04_09_at_9_36_22_AM.png

    started in springfield, OH where ever that is.

    Hmm, didn't know it started there. I do know that it went defunct, and that it was HQed in Ft. Lauderdale in 1971.

    Steve, if Haslam wants art to imitate life, or life imitate art- he should have Costner announce the first pick May 8th.

    Per the article, the "Big Barney" actually predated the Big Mac. The Big Mac was a ripoff of the Big Barney.

    I don't recall the burgers being any worse than any other chains.

    Z, if yall have room for one more, I'd be grateful. Let me know when. It would beat going solo, for I doubt any of my "associates" here would be willing to sit through a Garner movie. I'm also on paid vacation till October, so I'll happily buy you a beer or few. Something about swine flu, a coma, and not being allowed to swim anymore.
