Barnstormers led by the Grumpy Old Vet and accompanied by Where's the Beef, Mr Mop and the Postman rings Twice rang in with a couple of 7s and a 7.2. The highest score was influenced by the pound of excellent fries!
Barnstorming Romeos at THE PUB in Maple Park... Retired Old Men Eating Out traveled to the western edge of Kane County and enjoyed the regional economics of the friendly Pub. Burgers were reasonably priced and the hockey puck 1/2 # leaned towards the dry...coming in at the 7.75 on the Barnstorm scale. Judges Where's the Beef John Duewel, Ol' Timer Kevin Combest, Patty Melt Slick Eric Selin, Postman Rings Twice Chad Combest and The Rocket Dave Wittrock were this weeks judges.
Retired Old Men Eating Out tried the Tap House Grill in Algonquin. $$$$ pricey but a quality Kobe burger was cooked to perfection.
Give the burger a 9.2 but assess .5 point deduction for $$$$. Judges today were WTB John Duewel, Ol' Timer Kevin Combest,
PMS Eric Selin & Chute 5 Randy Lathrop!
8.7 overall score
Last week we were pleasantly surprised at this tiny dive bar near the old Haeger’s Pottery. Chargrilled indoors under a heavy duty hood the juicy burgers were a respectable 8.4 around the horn of WTB, OL’ TIMER & PMS.
That’s before a value added bonus of a full point! 3 burgers, chips —-
(no fries), 2 beers and a Diet Coke. $37 before tip!
Just a word of caution. This has been a hangout for Elgin bangers after dark.Careful
