Coop @ #13…the delightful dawgs I have known are certain that there IS no world (besides Athens) outside Dunwoody, Buckhead, Va. Highlands, Midtown, etc…and they were all well-acquainted and on good terms with the Varsity (both locations)…athough their figures belie the fact…can they be wrong?

The Varsity is second only to Waffle House in terms of hangover recovery food. There is no better still-drunk-and-awake-at-4AM food than Krystal, provided you are near a 24hr Krystal and your DD hasn’t thrown the drunk assholes out of the car on Bankhead Highway.

All this negative talk about chili steaks and grease burgers concerning the Varsity is all too confusing. It’s like moaning about the chicken fingers at Dairy Queen.

Chili Dogs and Onion Rings, brothers.

Salad should never be used as hangover food.

You need good greasy shit. See: Varsity.

I actually went there the other day to cure my nasty hangover from The Cheetah. Worked like a charm!

11 is one those people who grew up in Atlanta, went to Tech, and now works in Atlanta.

There is no reason on Earth why anyone would say the Varsity is the best grease pit burger place on Earth, or the best anything in the world, for that matter. It is edible, but that is about it.

There is an entire world outside of Dunwoody, Buckhead, Va Highlands, Midtown, etc…

Ron Franklin got the shaft. Before the yellow line, he always let you know what “the line to make” was on 3rd down. Crappy that he got run out of town.

Lettuce Souprise You is wonderful. $6 for some salad served to you by some sketchy oriental, sign me up! All you can eat! It was such good hang over food.

Although, as #9 pointed out, it is not better then the Varsity. Nothing is. Not even God himself.

And to make this post semi related to CFB, Paul Johnson’s offense is gonna run through the ACC like a double chili steak with extra cayenne running through me.

Lettuce Souprise You didn’t die? I thought it disappeared as quickly as it arrived in the early ’90s. Worst restaurant I’ve ever eaten in. The potatoes had some kind of black shit running through them like ore.

insert “in basketball” between Raycom/JP and over.

Patrick is a basketball announcer, first and foremost. The football gig is his moonlighting vehicle.

Regardless, there is plenty of the same material regarding his work on ESPN and Raycom/JP over the last 5-10 years or so.

He used to be damn good with Dan Bonner, but both have become a bit deranged.

Oh, and what the hell happened to Holly Farms chicken? Did they just fold up shop when Dinah Shore died?

Lettuce Souprise You got piss-poor reviews on Yelp. Maybe Mike Patrick Should have made a few more trips to Willy’s for some super tacos and a Sweetwater 420.
