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.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
