Anybody know of a good place on the Ave or otherwise near MGH to get a decent burger? Genuine dead cow burgers only, veggi burgers need not apply.

I enjoy stopping in at the Orange King on 42nd just east of the Ave every once in a while. Moderately priced and not bad. Real meat is involved and they are not shy with the flame.

Thx, boss. That was not bad.

mm, that place always smells good when i walk past. personally, i like burger hut for their yum but super greasy eggplant burger. they have good fries, too. i don't know about meat, but the boy seems to like their dead cow burgers.

I think I've had half-way decent KowDeth at the McSchlotskyFredMacmurray Sausage Shop (I think it's called Schultzy's) down on the Lower Ave between Solstice and University Terryaki. They seem appropriately greasy and fatty. Although save yerself the buck-and-half and don't get the fries/slaw. Their fries are ass... and not in a good way.

Best burger on the Ave. Good spicey diced chicken too.

Teryaki is just so so.

I have been eating on the ave for over 14 years. Um, yuck.

You could always make the long walk up to Jack in the Box on 50th. I really have no way to judge, but JITB seems popular. And always around 2am. Hmm, state of drunkenness seems to be inversely related to food quality and availability? An interesting relationship to test...

That would explain those 24 hour Taco Bell drive-thrus.

Has anyone heard of the KenTacoHut? It is the stuff of legend!; I have not seen one, but I have heard that they exist.

Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut -- united under one roof...certainly not under God and indivisible. (Or certainly not the under the God whom I neither believe in nor scoff at. Whew, too much coffee today.)

This rumor rings of some kind of cosmic joke. Can anyone verify this establishment's existence?

Unfortunately I can. Horrible things. I've never eaten at one, though I have eaten at KFTaco Bell in the past, especially in airports.

I've been to KFC-Taco Bell, and I've seen a KFC-Pizza Hat, but never all *three* simultaneously joined. The postmodern suburban avengers have taken over . . .

I'm sorry. These things exist. They've sprouted up like weeds (and not the good kind) in the Chicago area and a good portion of the Midwest. They are now starting to take over Interstate travel plazas, too. They exist in various permutations: Kentucky Fried Taco, Dunkin Robbins, Pizza Bell, and, as you mention, KenTacoHut. They are vile vile vile.

But don't take my word for it, listen to my camera:

...you'll hafta scroll down a bit to see the images.

These franchises do this because they can. But also it's a way to split rent, I suppose, and cover more fat, fat bases. I also see Subway/TCBY combo's around.

Regarding combo businesses, if only we still had the Sit & Spin .
