On the advice of their attorney, the management insists that dinners sign a waiver before they are served indicating that they are aware that they are eating at their own risk.

This is one of those rare listings when I can say I haven't been there, but I've seen an entire program on Denny's Beer Barrel Pub and feel that it deserves a place on this list. Sure...it's nichie (Sp?) and caters to daredevils and competitive eaters and in those circles, it's very famous.

Obviously. they make big burgers. Big, BIG burgers...up to 123 pounds (mainly for charity events), but their single serving burger...the one that the restaurant will pay for if you can finish it in under five hours (no puking allowed) weighs in at over 15 pounds...with 9 pounds of meat. Oh, yah, lest I forget, it also weighs in at over THIRTY THOUSAND CALORIES and no one has ever been able to do it, until...

Until a chef named Brad Sciullo, from Uniontown, PA. walked in on October 13 and pounded home that death burger in under five hours. So? What's next for Brad? Well...uh...let him tell you...

It takes a while to get your food, but it's well worth the wait. This is the closest you can get to Germany without leaving Hope Mills NC. The food is perfection.

My dad enjoyed Jack Daniels and Tab of all things. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Gone now, but gained baseball fame when Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee said, before game 7 of the 1975 World Series, "Sparky Anderson says that no matter what the outcome of this game is, his player is going to the Hall of Fame. I say that no matter what the outcome of this game is, I'm going to the Eliot Lounge.

Charles Pearce of Sports Illustrated said this about it, and I can't improve on it.

"Once there was a place where nobody batted an eye the night the horse walked in. The horse stopped to visit with everyone sitting at the bar, and then it took eight people to get him out again, and nobody in the place thought it at all remarkable, though they thought the horse well-behaved.

Once, there was a place where the Stanford band marched in playing Truckin' and marched out playing White Punks on Dope. Once, there was a place where Fuzzy Zoeller came in for a drink at the end of the day and wound up tending bar until four in the morning, in contravention of every local ordinance. Once, there was a place where a future Olympic gold-medal runner spent the night of the Boston Marathon biting complete strangers on their hindquarters and playing the trumpet besides. Citius, altius, munchius, with a flourish."

About 10 or so years ago, I was visiting a childhood friend who had relocated to L.A., and he brought me here, knowing of my reverence for the cinematic past. As I remember it, Musso and Frank didn't look like it had changed much over the decades in terms of its decor, which certainly was a point in its favor, as far as I was concerned. I've never been a big fan of steak, but it seemed the appropriate item to order, given the location (I couldn't imagine that Barrymore, Garfield, and Tracy had been "fans" of Tofu and bean sprouts; I'm sure they were regular consumers of steak and various other red meats). My friend, who was a real entrepreneur, spent most of his time on the telephone, which was ok with me, as it left me more time alone with the shades of Barrymore, Garfield, Tracy and the other immortals who used to patronize the place. One celebrity dining there at the same time I was was Tom Snyder, who took an out-of-the-way table in the corner. I debated approaching him for an autograph (although I wasn't a particularly big fan), but decided the man probably just wanted to have his meal in peace, and so I left him undisturbed. Had he been Brando or DeNiro or even Klaus Kinski, it might have been a different story.

The oldest surviving eatery in Hollywood, the Musso and Frank Grill has lost status to the new wave in Hollywood, but it was a favored watering hole, particularly for screenwriters, in the thirties forties and fifties. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Raymond Chandler, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner and Charles Bukowski all liked to tilt a jar here, and Orson Welles frequently held court there.

It was also a favorite bar of the brilliantly erratic noir-crime novelist Jim Thompson, who allegedly wrote at least a couple of he novels in a booth there.

I was just in there. When the bartender saw my .458 magnum double rifle, he threw me out!

Located in a predominantly hispanic area, and its clientele is exactly that. I stopped by there once to pick up a six pack, and the sight of guys dressed like cowboys and singing Spanish karaoke was surely a sight.
