We think this is the only old-timey lunch counter within walking distance of our house, so we limbered up the dog and meandered to Carrie's Corner to continue the Coney Burger survey.
We observed many differences between today's offering and the three Fort William joints we visited earlier in the week.
- While our orders were filled in two minutes or less at the other places it took nearly 15 minutes for our Coney Burgers to be prepared, today.
- On that tack, rather than having the burgers already stewing in delicious, greasy juice as is the style in FW, these burgers were grilled on-demand. Grilled.
- Today's burgers were way bigger, plumper than those in FW.
- The cost was almost double that of any of the FW joints.
- The "Coney sauce" bore little resemblance to what we had already enjoyed this week, being far more tomato-y, more of a spread than a sauce and far less flavourful than its FW counterparts.
The verdict: T'was a fine burger, but not what we understand to be a real Coney Burger. It would do in a pinch but, given the choice, I'll meet you in Fort William, son.
