Burger Madness

For maybe 15 years the other DrC and I ate burgers at Billy's on the square in Jackson every Sunday all summer long. It was a classic greasy spoon diner with only a counter and stools. The "entertainment" was watching the cook fry burgers by the dozen on a grill that had fried many tons of high-fat burger, and a few other choices.

I've written about Billy's here, and I've also written that it was closed when we arrived last summer - sad times. We've been searching Jackson for a replacement, with some success. A place called The Bird is pricy but the burgers aren't bad.

Last night we tried a place called The Lift which is near the bottom of Snow King ski resort. It is run by the people who formerly ran The Cadillac and Billy's, two restaurants which were joined at the hip both physically and financially.

If you want to see a photo of the Lift Burger, you can find it on the other DrC's blog at cruztalkingtwo.blogspot.com. The Lift Burger was tasty and priced right. We may have found a replacement for the legendary Billy Burger.

Missing is watching the burgers being grilled, but we can live with that shortfall. The Lift has indoor booths and outdoor dining on decks at two levels.
