Red Dogs and French Canadians

Simones' in Lewiston, Maine

This place is great. Friendly folks, classic Maine red dogs and the comfortable dialect of second generation Franco-Americans. Makes me feel like I'm in my hometown in Northern NH. I have to admit that I don't know if I'd have the chili again. It had sort of a baked bean taste and I'm not much for baked beans. But, it's hard to beat a steamed red dog no matter what you do with it.

When in Anchorage

Tommy's Burger Stop is the place.

Anchorage, AK Tommy's Burger Stop

I've written before about wax paper as the secret weapon for all great burger joints and here is more evidence to support it's magic contribution to one tasteeeee cheese burger. In addition to making great burgers, the folks at Tommy's are avid supporters of the local roller derby, fans of Johnny Cash and critics of their esteemed governor. My kind of folks.
