The take a ball of rolled up ground beef and flatten it with a spatula, then drop it into a huge pan of greast that is a bout 4" deep. When it floats, it's done. They lay it on a bun, drop some cheese on it and then the other "fixins". They say they've never changed the grease (since 1950 something), they only add to it! I guess that's where it gets the taste!!!!!!!

>>Oh no, the place is clean, as a matter of fact. They also have franchises, one of which is on Beale Street. So, if you're ever in Memphis and you've been listening to the blues on Beale, you'll probably have had enough "adult beverages" to work up the courage to try a Dyers!<g>

Sound like you were doing more than just drinking at those parties: "The Munchies" :-)

>After some some 3-4 years I was in the same area again (day time), so I went there purposely to pick one (or two). But then they really tasted like .... !!

I noticed you said "they" so despite the taste you still mananged to down more than 1! :-)

>So I wld say, it might be not all about taste, but also about state of mind :))
>(Or maybe that chilly was from outer space)
