Why Are Italian Restaurants So Popular?

By Carrie Bancroft


What is it? According to the neighborhood resources, Gonzales Burgers evolved from a smaller grocery shop started 60 years ago. Following quite a few economic and neighborhood adjustments, its sideline burgers and fries became its important merchandise. Despite the fact that this store is built onto the side of the family members residence, it is pretty tiny. Its storefront has plate-glass windows and a covered concrete patio holding four picnic tables. It is owned and operated by 3 sisters, heirs to the original founders.

Inside, it looks like one particular room getting two rows of lengthwise-aligned ten-to-12-seat white banquet tables with an aisle operating down their middle toward the counter in the back. Yet its prep and storage rooms, and a single restroom are to its suitable side along with shelving for the groceries on-hand. Its walls are decorated with stuffed animals, e.g., rattlesnake, turkey, antelope and deer heads, Muskie and other fish. It can hold 40 folks okay, plus a further 20 or a lot more outside.

On the back wall behind the counter, a frequent iron griddle with a single two-basket fryer to its left faces the back wall below a hood. To its right, a lid-covered condiment bar is where the fried burgers are dressed with lettuce, sliced tomato and onion, mustard, dill pickles, and grilled onions if requested. The completed burgers are wrapped in paper there, and then place on a tray with any side orders, like fries or rings.
