22 June 2012 - Kay's H.O.P. Burger


So driving up and down Chapman Highway, it is almost impossible to miss the Kay's sign. That great big ice cream cone is a staple of the South Knox area. People give directions by it, it's referenced in several of the local stories, and how could it not be. Every time I had stopped by Kay's, I would rush in, grab a pint or quart of the rocky road ice cream, and shoot back home. But, you cannot help but notice the nostalgia tucked away in this roadside café. The antique Coca-Cola signs, the placemats with a story of Kay’s plight. It is a truly great place for a bite. So I finally decided to try them out. I asked for the H.O.P, and let me tell you, I am so glad I did. The cook started making everything right in front of me. They don’t hide the process behind a wall. Fresh lettuce, Grainger tomatoes, a half-pound of beef, sliced cheese, what a great burger. The bun is toasted on the grill as the burger cooks. A true dining pleasure. It could have used a small amount of mustard, but overall a solid 3 ½ Bites.
