This year Briahna is a member of the Tecumseh Competitive Cheerleading Team. Throughout the majority of the day we were at the Adrian […]

The Passing of My Father, & A Review: Scalawags Whitefish & Chips, Brighton, Michigan
This particular blog post has been a long time coming. I began writing it Monday December 29th and was interrupted by a phone call from my sister Barb telling me our dad had passed away. He was 85. Looking through the draft of this post I found an odd coincidence. Early on I mention the […]
The Chateau Burger, Re-visited
A couple weeks ago I posted this photo of the one-pound burger at the Chateau Louise here in Luna Pier. A short while ago, the folks at A Hamburger Today in NYC re-posted this photo for New Yorkers to see. They also copied the photo and their commentary from the post on A Hamburger Today onto Serious […]
Favorite Dive: Chateau Louise, Luna Pier, Michigan
The Chateau’s Seafood Platter. Click on this and the next two for larger images. This past Thursday evening at the Chateau Louise here in Luna Pier (the same place with the one-pound burger shown in my previous post), we celebrated Mary’s birthday. The restaurant is only about a half mile from the house so we get there […]
The One-Pound Chateau Louise Burger in Luna Pier, Michigan
I’ll have more on the Chateau Louise tomorrow, but I felt the burger deserves its own post … I’ve been trying for a couple years now to get a halfway-decent photo of the one-pound burger at the Chateau Louise. The Chateau is one of only three restaurants here in Luna Pier. The light in the restaurant has […]
Forrest Gump & The Shrimp Burger at Boondocks
A shrimp … burger?? Shrimp BURGER. That’s what the menu said. I like shrimp. I like burgers. But a SHRIMP burger. Who’d-a thunk it? The menu also said, “Our own special recipe loaded with shrimp – You must try it!!” Must try … hmmm … Ok, so it’s not a burger. It’s shaped like a burger. […]

South Carolina Food & Pics of Pvt. John Winckowski

Click on the image for a larger version. We’re back from a rather rapid trip to South Carolina! Mary’s youngest son John became a U.S. Marine at Parris Island last week and […]
‘The Coney Nazi’
I could easily become … ‘The Coney Nazi’. Ali “Al” Yeganeh’s inspiration for Larry Thomas’s ‘Soup Nazi’ on the 116th episode of Seinfeld was brutal. Ask the character for bread, and either pay for it, or … … “No soup for you!!!” … and out you go. I could easily do that with the Flint coneys I […]
THIS Is A Haloburger, People!
Click on the image for a larger version. I’ve mentioned Haloburger to a lot of people. They just look at me funny and ask, “A what??” It’s a Haloburger, people! This (yes, look at the picture!) is what it looks like. A quarter-pound of ground beef from Otto W. Liebold in Flint, flattened into a […]
