Chronicles of Alan: The Best Hamburger Ever!

in #food7 years ago (edited)

Years ago I was introduced to a Hamburger Place in Rivonia Boulevard , Sandton, Chuckleberrys by name.

You will see from the reviews above that they were often voted as making the Best Hamburger available in Gauteng!

Every now and then, My favourite Daughter would call me ,and ask if I felt like a Chuckleberrys Burger, even if I was busy with lunch at the time, I never answered in the negative.

I described myself today to a person I met as a Freestyle Glutton , obviously, I never lie!

Imagine My Surprise when working at the Old Bohemian as a Sound Engineer in about 2011 , I noticed some new tables and chairs , looking very upmarket . I notice the Chairs say Chuckleberrys on the Back .

Alan, innocently asks , "Oh are Chuckleberrys refurbishing?" Some unfeeling Brute answers, "No they have shut down!"

My ideal world comes crashing down , what future does the World have , when the Best Burger known to Mankind , is no more?

I cannot understand , people are still laughing and enjoying themselves when my future meals are gone?

Anyhow despite all this I am still alive! The Sun rises and the Sun sets, nothing else is effected?

I have managed to find a Menu online , you can see the wide range, available , which I never completely went through!

BTW I once had a Double of the 450G Burger, impressed the Management no end!

Why do I show the picture of the Chair in Sage Streets Driveway, you may ask?

With the closing of The Bo at the end of July, Mike Neebe called me last week and knowing My affinity for Chuckleberrys called me and said, " I have two Chuckleberrys Chairs for you Alan"

Now you know why I have always had such respect for the Man!

@awgbibb,
Actually it's a shame that "Chuckleberrys" decided to shutdown while they have crazy customers (great fans) like you! I can't think how it taste! Coz, it seems like NOTHING compare! And finally you got two chairs of them! Atleast you have chairs! Yeah atleast you have it friend!

Sorry for your hamburgers :( But now you have chairs for memory :)

True, and, of course, there are other Hamburger places?

Yes, and there are a lot of them :)

I enjoyed the little history of your life sir. I didn't know that parents have favourite child.😁😁😁

I did say favourite Daughter , as I only have one, she is entitled to it? I have 2 Sons as well! Thanks.

Ok, i tot you had more than one daughter.

I love burgers :) Would like to come to US and compare it to European :)
My gut tells me US is a winner here.

I actually think that there is a Chuckleberrys in the US? I am in South Africa.

sorry for that but you have the memories in mind. Regards

Yes I do , and what if the Quality had gone down later?, so my memories can never be tarnished! Thanks for your comment.

good memories those, I remember the place well. Thanks for sharing

Ah, another Connoisseur is present? My Son Wayne , came back with a Burger Patty made by a Girl, Carol, a few months ago, it was excellent, will try to Torture the recipe out of her and do a post on it. The people there were so nice , as well!

interesting, how to find these old newspapers

Google, Thanks.

Thx for the post.. live burgers. How is south Afrika globally on the burger market.. you Can order one or really need to know the place to be?

The Spur Franchise here does a Pretty Good Burger. Steers used to do a Great Burger and then drastically cut down the size ! To Quote Shania Twain " Don't impress me much!". Gluttons do not like cut down portion sizes! Thanks.

I hope I can find the humberger like it in my country Indonesia. It looks very delicious, I think.

Hope so too?, Thanks.

I want to check this out

What do you wish to check out?

For me, all kinds of burger are good

Sound like another Glutton?

Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.

Great post. It was easy to read, and the story was captivating even though it was about a hamburger.

Hamburger's have feelings too! Thank You.

@awgbibb - Oh Sir, that's lovely. You still love that shutdown 'Chuckleberrys' burger. I can imagine how taste there are. Love your work Sir. I wish to ReSteem your post.
