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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
