Chronicles of Alan: The Best Hamburger Ever!

in food •  7 years ago  (edited)

Years ago I was introduced to a Hamburger Place in Rivonia Boulevard , Sandton, Chuckleberrys by name.

You will see from the reviews above that they were often voted as making the Best Hamburger available in Gauteng!

Every now and then, My favourite Daughter would call me ,and ask if I felt like a Chuckleberrys Burger, even if I was busy with lunch at the time, I never answered in the negative.

I described myself today to a person I met as a Freestyle Glutton , obviously, I never lie!

Imagine My Surprise when working at the Old Bohemian as a Sound Engineer in about 2011 , I noticed some new tables and chairs , looking very upmarket . I notice the Chairs say Chuckleberrys on the Back .

Alan, innocently asks , "Oh are Chuckleberrys refurbishing?" Some unfeeling Brute answers, "No they have shut down!"

My ideal world comes crashing down , what future does the World have , when the Best Burger known to Mankind , is no more?

I cannot understand , people are still laughing and enjoying themselves when my future meals are gone?

Anyhow despite all this I am still alive! The Sun rises and the Sun sets, nothing else is effected?

I have managed to find a Menu online , you can see the wide range, available , which I never completely went through!

BTW I once had a Double of the 450G Burger, impressed the Management no end!

Why do I show the picture of the Chair in Sage Streets Driveway, you may ask?

With the closing of The Bo at the end of July, Mike Neebe called me last week and knowing My affinity for Chuckleberrys called me and said, " I have two Chuckleberrys Chairs for you Alan"

Now you know why I have always had such respect for the Man!

@awgbibb,
Actually it's a shame that "Chuckleberrys" decided to shutdown while they have crazy customers (great fans) like you! I can't think how it taste! Coz, it seems like NOTHING compare! And finally you got two chairs of them! Atleast you have chairs! Yeah atleast you have it friend!
Thank you very much for sharing such great life experiences with us!

Cheers~

My Pleasure, Thanks

I love burgers :) Would like to come to US and compare it to European :)
My gut tells me US is a winner here.

I actually think that there is a Chuckleberrys in the US? I am in South Africa.

I enjoyed the little history of your life sir. I didn't know that parents have favourite child.😁😁😁

I did say favourite Daughter , as I only have one, she is entitled to it? I have 2 Sons as well! Thanks.

Too much Sugar, Perhaps?

Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir... open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us... guides us. Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.

Thanks

Awgbibb your little history unblievable.

Just the facts, Thanks.

Sir i agree with you

I want to check this out

What do you wish to check out?

Great post. It was easy to read, and the story was captivating even though it was about a hamburger.

Hamburger's have feelings too! Thank You.

For me, all kinds of burger are good

Sound like another Glutton?

Yes, I now understand! I appreciate your respect for the Man very much

Thank you

Thank you too!

It really feels bad when something bad happens to our life
and the attachment you have towards the place seems pretty touching .
Mike seems to like you too
Hope You find some place Similar to this

I should just make my own, Thanks.

As it should!

Seems like one hell of a good day you had

Thanks

Always!

Sounds like my kind of burger. I want to check it out

That is the problem!

I just had 2 hamburgers :). I saw a video once on youtube from a hamburger that costs 777$!

A bit more than I can afford!

Thx for the post.. live burgers. How is south Afrika globally on the burger market.. you Can order one or really need to know the place to be?

The Spur Franchise here does a Pretty Good Burger. Steers used to do a Great Burger and then drastically cut down the size ! To Quote Shania Twain " Don't impress me much!". Gluttons do not like cut down portion sizes! Thanks.

I hope I can find the humberger like it in my country Indonesia. It looks very delicious, I think.

Hope so too?, Thanks.

Daily Learn some new from your post. Love to read it.

Thank you.

unfortunately it happens, some of our favorite places are closed, it's good that you have something left to remember.

You are right, Thanks.

I've never had Chuckleberry's before and it seems like I'm missing out. I wish they didn't have to close down and I had the opportunity to try the 'best burger in the world' but I guess I won't be able to experience that.

It is great that you were able to get a hold of one of the chairs so you can keep and reminisce about the times when the place was open. Do you know why they shut down @awgbibb

No I don't , as I only found out some time after they closed>

hamburger is just yummy!!

True!

Ahhh man, it sucks when your favorite burger joint closes down. Makes you wonder what happened when they were so delicious.

Wish I knew?

Now I feel like eating a hamburger...

Actually?, I always do!

Great post. @awgbibb
100% like and resteem

Thank You.

Nice story, I'm hungry now, trying to lose some weight, thanks a lot awgbibb.
