fond memories of that place when my kids were little. Seems like there were two guys who ran the place. One was Navy with a tattoo. One of them came to our table with the cup of coffee I ordered. Put the cup on the top of his shoe, poured the coffee into the cup a distance of about 3 ft. Lifted the coffee cup up and never spilled a drop! The kids were impressed. Good burgers but a bit small. They were having fun running that place.

I had not heard this.  RIP Bill.  I still remember seeing he and Ed in the Grapevine all the time.  I'm sure Bill and Nelson Kifer are having a drink right now.
