Today, in Kentucky an earthquake of over 10.0 on the Richter Scale happened in Georgetown, the crack ran all the way from Kentucky to Moab, Utah. The Pilgrim found another 4.85 pickle burger! Here is the back story<\/i>, Scott Diussa stopped off for late night beer at the Ruby Tuesdays next to our hotel, in friendly conversation some folks at the bar he was told about a great place in Georgetown to get a burger. He asked all the right questions, about how they prepared them, and they gave him all the right answers. The man and woman he was speaking with were very familiar with the place, in fact the young lady was Sheri Gruchow who helps run Fava\u2019s. Fava\u2019s is one of the oldest continuously run family restaurants in America. This great place started serving in 1910. The latest owners are Jeni & Howard Gruchow, and they are doing any previous owners proud. Everyone at our table, Berrie Smith, Scott Diussa, and myself, all had great meals. <\/p>\n
This 1\/2 pound monster was pre-
\npared to perfection, medium,
\njuicy, toasted bun, and real
\nmayonaise, and Homemade
\nchips too….. So now we have a
\nEast Coast and a West Coast
\nChampion! I would walk a
\ncountry mile for either Fava\u2019s or
\nMilt\u2019s burgers. They are slightly
\ndifferent, but both great. If any
\nof the other folks that purport to
\nmake great burgers took a lesson
\nform these guys, the world would
\nhave a lot more great Cheese-
\nburgers……..<\/p>\n

A great burger is always a joy, but
\nwhen the people that run the place is
\nare as great as the Gruchows and
\nB.C. at Milt\u2019s you enjoy the meal all
\nthe more. <\/p>\n
The original restaurant had a bar with
\nold time red top stools. When they
\ntook it out a friend of the restaurant
\noffered to paint the scene at the top
\nof the page. It just makes the place
\nalong with and extensive collection of Mickey Mouse memorabilia.<\/p>\n
I would like to thank Jeni, Howard and Sheri for their commitment to running such a great restaurant. Equally, I always love dropping by Milt\u2019s Stop and Eat in Moab, Utah to visit with B.C. My hat goes off to all of you for doing such a great job for your customers.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just to much fun, being the pilgrim, thank you Lord, it is a great life………………….
\nAnd I\u2019m home tomorrow!<\/p>\n
