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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
