OT: Question For Glenn

The_Q · December 23rd, 2007, 05:13 PM

I know you are a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan. Have you ever been to his restaurant chain "Cheeseburgers In Paradise"? I just went to one outside of Chicago and know they have one in Atlanta. Unbelievable burgers. The vortex in Atlanta also rocks BTW.

I went to one in Virginia, it was pretty good.

I got very sick after eating at the one in Orlando.

Not only do they have Atlanta's Best Burgers (as voted on by the readers of Creative Loafing), but they also have the best bathrooms in Little Five Points (as voted on by my homeless-waif street-poet friend 'Moebius'

).

If I could change one thing in this city, I'd mandate that The Vortex's L5P location stay open for two hours after shows end at the nearby Masquerade.

I've a feeling this thread's gonna get moved to the Lounge soon.

I didn't get sick per se, but I did feel a little queasy shortly after eating at that one. My group also had really bad service and just mediocre food. Did not resonate with me. Maybe the other locales are better?

I have not been to one. However, let me clear up one misconception. It is not "Jimmy's chain." He licensed the name out to the Outback (Steakhouse) corporation that run it. Jimmy owns & runs the "Margaritaville chain that I have been to in Key West, New Orleans Orlando, & Myrtle Beach.

After eating at The Vortex, I couldn't eat hamburgers anywhere else for a few weeks. That place turns hamburgers into high cuisine as far as I am concerned.

I've been to his place in Key West but we didnt stay and eat we just got souvenirs.

Vortex was really good too, they have a great menu and beer selection. That's a place that would be awesome in any city.

For those of you in Chicago you cant top this place for burgers and beer. The beer selection is not huge but really amazing, Left Hand Milk Stout and Lagunitas Cappuccino Stouts on tap plus lots of other amazing beers. Then you have the burgers which I think are some of the best the city has to offer. There are plenty different ones and each one is named after a metal band.

I have been the Cheese-burger in Paradise in Honolulu and they have a chicken salad sanwich to die for. Also the vortex is awe inspiring as far as burgers go, here in Texas we have What-A-Burger chain that is excellent also, but for the best in El Paso, it has to be Roscoe's, Huge 1/2 lb burgers made fresh while you sit there and wait, with grilled onions put on the burgers as they cook, my mouth is wartering, so i guess it's Roscoe's for dinner tonite.
