Is this the TGIF guy? I think he was a guest judge on one of the Top Chef seasons too.

There is a burger place in Houston that does a lot of wild game burgers-- elk, moose, kangaroo, bison. I can't remember the name of it, but the buffalo burger I had was pretty good. The sweet potato fries were great too.

Ok, that brings the number up to two: that is, good things to come out of Roy. Jim McMahon being the first.

We're not Canadian socialists in Utah, Mike. We're 'mericans, dammit. It is pronounced like it is supposed to be pronounced - just like it's spelled.

Are you not aware that Roy, Utah gave BYU Jim McMahon?

Even Ute fans like McMahon. Maybe even more than the mullah-type BYU fans do. Right?

Like it is spelled. R-O-Y. Like Royal Blue. You don't say it Wahal Blue, do you?

Burger Bar, home of the Big Ben in Roy is a fantastic Burger. When I want a good drive-in type burger, I crave that. Good shakes and good fries. It is a huge burger and 100% worth the stop if you are anywhere near the area.

There used to be a second location down the street from Northridge High in Layton that closed about a year and a half ago and is now a Starbucks.

I'm not sure exactly if they still run it this way, but they used to run it where they would typically hire High School students from the area and pay them very well, with bonuses if their grades were a 3.0 or higher. Also, the Missionaries ate free at the Layton location. I knew of a few people (one who posts/posted here) who would dress up like missionaries with name badges to get free food.

I miss the Layton location, because honestly I can't think of a good reason other than Big Ben's Burger Bar to go to Roy.
