A good deed gets rewarded……..

I agreed to bring Sherelene’s car to Knoxville to get it’s service done, and kill some time while that was accomplished. I mentioned to the guys at Harper Infiniti that I was always looking for a killer burger and one offered the suggestion to try Sam & Andy’s. Having never been there I was up for the challenge. Boy am I glad I did, this is one great place run by the Captain family, above left to right, John and his father, George, and below their sister Brenda! George’s wife Lucy sadly passed away back in Sept of 2013 and I’m told she was a great part of this team, and a team is what they are, first they make a great burger, a 4.5 on the 5 pickle scale which places it in the top 20 burgers in America!!! There are several highly acclaimed burgers around the Knoxville area, but for me, Sam & Andy’s beat the rest hands down! George uses his own special seasoning and that is the hat trick! He does everything else right too, fresh meat, flat top grill, and top notch ingredients. it reminded a lot of the Top Notch Cafe in Colfax, Washington and my good buddy Pete’s creation, also a top rated burger!

Family is important, and family business’ are my favorite, and this is one great family! They have been making customers very happy since 1956 when Lucy and George started the business! Even though they have a killer burger, I’m told George’s meat sauce for spaghetti is also spectacular, I’ll come balk and try it and let you know!
