Coney Project III: Carrie's Corner

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.

The Coney Project Part II

Today we found a 1992-ish Dodge at Buck's Auto Parts on Mission Island and got the hood hinge out without losing any fingers.
Since we were already waaaay over in Darkest Fort William we stopped at Nipper's Takeout on Simpson for an even more substantial, messier Coney Burger experience.  This one seemed less flavourful, at first, but the heat and savoury qualities came on song after a few bites.  Nipper's was the largest of the three Coney burgers we've sampled, so far and in same ballpark, price-wise, as the others.  This was the sloppiest of the three, I think, although that's a tough call because they're all pretty drippy.  Totally in a good way, you understand.

Still to do, that comes to me right now: Hodder Greeks and Carrie's Corner.
