I almost forgot to write about this place. While in Memphis, I wanted to try Gus’s Famous Fried Chicken http://www.gussofms.com/ BUT when I got there (at noon) there was a line around the block!! There was no way that I would be willing to wait. I know, you are saying, ‘he was in Memphis and didn’t get BBQ?’ I did get BBQ, just check out the other post.
Since Gus’s was out of the question for me, since I’m inpatient, I wandered around downtown and Beale Street seeking out my options. Then I remembered the Kooky Canuck http://www.kookycanuck.com/ , which was featured on the Travel Channels Man v. Food.
So in I went. It wasn’t too crowded, I was sat immediately. When you walk in ou’ll see the 13 pictures of the people who took the Kookamonga Challenge (this is where you eat a 4lb. hamburger with fries and such in under an hour…most did it in 59 minutes) I was not willing to take the challenge. I would love to have seen someone do it though. I’ve never seen a 4lb. hamburger…2 can attempt this challenge with a 7lb. hamburger.
The inside reminded you of a Canadian Travelodge…or at least how I picture it.
I ordered me a sweet tea (as usual) a side item called Poutine (Pooh-tin), which is basically hand cut fries covered in some cheese and brown gravy. Very tasty.
For my main course I ordered The Canadian burger…only because it has Canadian bacon on it!!
They have several signature items on the menu, but I was in a burger mood, since I didn’t get my chicken. I do recommend trying this place out. Or trying the challenge. If you take the challenge let me know.
