Kooky Canuck - Memphis

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.
