NORTH CAROLINA: Open since 1951, Duke’s Grill in Monroe serves a mean Carolina Burger, a patty with chili con carne, coleslaw, mustard, and chopped onions. The joint requires all customers to turn off their cellphones upon entering, and has been visited by the Food Network and Travel Channel.

Never been to Duke's. Might have to check it out. Haven't been to any on the list actually.

Stopped reading at California. Admits In-N-Out is overrated, which it is, but in the most populous state in the country he chose to review a chain burger joint while the other states are all independent restaurants.

 

Are you telling me you couldn't find a hole-in-the-wall burger joint in California? Really? I could name you half a dozen and I'm relying on my brother and sister who still live there.

I used to eat at Dukes a lot when I was in HS because my parents weren't terribly far from Monroe. I haven't been back in years though.

 

I can confirm, their burgers are amazing if you like Carolina style burgers.

 

The chili is what really makes the burger though. I could drink a big cup full of their burger chili.

 

If you don't like chili on a burger, their burgers are pretty ho-hum IMO. Not worth going if you're not going to put chili on it.

Penguin Drive in had a pretty good burger, also Zacks  on south blvd had a decent one. Never made it out to Dukes, may have to put it in my "Places to go when I go back but never did when I was there because I was a dumbass." list. 

Penguin is good.  Their pimento cheese is great.

 

I really want to try Duke's now. My all time favorite is still Whataburger in Concord/Kannapolis. It's straight from the 60's.

Hell yea bro. With a witch doctor or some sun drop it was a good meal. Whataburger is another good place. I recommend Zacks if you haven't been. It's by south blvd but its on Scaleybark.  It is kind of like Whataburgers but better. Their burgers are sublime but my favorite is their steak sandwhich. It's just delicious. :D

Penguin unfortunately blows now. After the ownership debacle, everyone stopped going there and Penguin tanked. They actually declared bankruptcy a few months back. The guys that ran the Penguin (but didn't own it), now own and run the Diamond just down the block.

 

If you liked the burgers at Penguin, you must now go to the Diamond to eat them. 

 

The new Penguin is pretty awful IMO. I've had two experiences there and was not a fan of the new menu.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
