Kincaid's Hamburgers is a store that was once a little grocery but somewhere along the line they started making hamburgers for their customers. The hamburgers were so good that eventually the little store didn't sell many more groceries but it sure sold a lot of hamburgers. Today, Kincaid's Hamburgers is still in that same grocery store and they still make the best hamburgers in Texas ... which is to say, the best hamburgers in the world.
Cadillac Man has been my friend for about forty years and I haven't been extolling the virtues of Kincaid's Hamburgers all that time ... but definitely for at least five or six years. The immediate question is whether he agreed on my review of the burgers after trying one for himself.
Those are some mighty fine burgers .... and .... they have fried okra. You can't find anything like that up north and it was cool in that Cadillac Man said his granny would fry okra for him when he was a kid and this tasted just the same. So, there you go: the best hamburgers in the Universe ... AND ... they have fried okra like granny used to make.
Part of the discussion last night was around my thinking that the Baby Boomer generation is a complete and utter failure. We knew the corruption of the military industrial complex in the sixties. It's not only still there fifty years later, we made it vastly worse. People don't even talk of getting rid of it anymore but rather I got yesterday a lecture from someone on how to tell whether you're empathetic and this followed immediately on the heels from the same person saying people should be drug-tested before they get welfare benefits. If they fail, fuck 'em, let 'em starve. (Yes, of course this was on Facebook.)
Tip to that heartless bitch: if you have tested positive for cocaine, you can't get a job. It's easy to sit on your fat, sanctimonious ass and give your royal commandments but the fact remains that many people not only don't have jobs, they can't get them. (It's not on my account I am angry. I have never been drug-tested in my life and I have never even been arrested for using drugs.)
More important than any of their mindless political posturing, no-one would even pose the question of cutting people off welfare benefits if such staggering amounts of money had not been wasted on military spending. Therefore, I conclude the Boomers have completely and utterly failed. They didn't just lose the budget, they lost the morality behind changing it, and now empathy is nothing but Facebook pose.
Facebook and Fox News are the biggest threats on the planet and for exactly the same reason as both are extremely good at disseminating false news to very large numbers of people. Facebookers will scream in indignation but the fact remains that Facebook is riddled with false news items regarding current events and also scandalously-bad medical claims (e.g. cancer cures are a dime a dozen on Facebook). There is no more inductive reasoning on Facebook than you would find in the average ant farm.
Cadillac Man is a bit more optimistic about things than that. Part of his optimism is because his baby girl is about to have a baby of her own. Lotho crossed that Grampa Line a few years ago so this crew is coming rapidly up on the stage of life in which you can sit on the porch with your old Grampa friends and use your shotgun on anyone who comes up the path to bother you. (Watch the movie "Secondhand Lions" sometime. It's wonderful.)
Yevette had met Cadillac Man back at the Cincinnati show but had not seen him in-between. The three of us have been roaming around in different places, thousands and thousands of kilometers from each other, and then there's a reunion at Kincaid's Hamburgers. Cadillac Man celebrated with a Cattleman Burger and that is one dangerous sandwich. I'm not even sure what is in it but that one was definitely for cowboys. And I'm pleased to report Cadillac Man blew his food calorie budget for a year or so but he said my hype about Kincaid's Hamburgers was fair. If you're in Fort Worth, give the burgers a try. This is definitely not your downtown, metal and glass tourist attraction.
So Cadillac Man will have to go off to Dallas to be business-like next week but we'll hang some more today. There won't be pictures of whizzy tourist attractions as Fort Worth is probably the most ugly-ass city on the planet ... BUT ... it has Kincaid's Hamburgers ... and you don't (laughs).
