Day One: A Great Burger!!!!
Leg one is down, I’m in Peoria and I had great dinner with some of the club members, really nice guys, this is going to be fun!!! Now I made a stop in Bloomington, Indiana to see my dear friend Jim Haverstock and he surprised me with a trip to local legendary burger place, Hinkle’s! We tried to go to Hinkle’s once before an it was closed so I was anxious to get back to Bloomington and give it a try. Below is a great article bout this burger place which was founded in 1930!
Let me get right to the rating, but let me explain something first, over time I’ve started to classify burgers in one of two categories, thick patty burgers and thin patty burgers. They are really different and it’s not fair to rate them in the same category! Hinkle’s Burger is the new Number One Burger in America in the thin patty category. You have to go to this great little place and try one of their juicy, delicious burgers!
Hinkle’s currently owned and run by Debbie Clark and her husband Gary, Their two sons help them run the place and they treated us really nice!
Below is the newspaper article and a picture of their store front I hope you can get buy sometime and try their great burger! My advice, get the double, it’s fantastic!!!
The burger really was great, but having any meal with Jim is a great meal, we had a wonderful visit and I will certainly be back at Hinkle’s with him again!
Blessings,
the pilgrim
