Son of Burger Madness

Shortly after arriving in Western Wyoming for the summer, we learned the folks who formerly owned/ran The Cadillac and Billy's restaurants (both now defunct), had opened new premises called The Lift. We hoped they would do this.

Through entirely painless trial and error we discovered how to order what amounts to a Billy burger at The Lift. Order a Lift burger and make a point of asking for it medium-rare. The fries are the same, the meat's the same, and (trumpet flourish) ... TA DAH ... the meat is cooked on Billy's old grill.

The Billy's people own the grill - a workhorse old monster that was completely seasoned decades ago - so they installed it in the new kitchen. Herds of cattle have been fried on that old rascal over the years.

In sum, the Billy burger lives on at the south end of Cache Street, and there is parking. The Lift is likely to appeal to locals more than tourists as it is several blocks off the US 89 beaten track.
