What, no burger basket???
Yeah, we miss it too. The food was extra greasy and the service was often lousey. The old timers and truckers smoked it up in there so bad your eyes would burn. But it was a Chouteau staple for post-football and basketball games. We kept coming back.
It was great to run up there when everything else was closed for a midnight snack. But now that we have kids that doesn't matter anyway.
We were eating there with my inlaws after a game one time and a high school kid walked in and sucker punched another boy in the face. Then he ran out while the other kid was asking who he was. My inlaws knew both boys and said the one that got hit was a good kid. They couldn't imagine what it was about.
I always will regret that moment, because I think it was my one chance ever to have picked up a chair and busted it over someone's back and initiated a real truck stop-style brawl. Might have been hauled off by the P.D., but man, what a great item for my adventure resume!
