but it really needs some Alley Oop businesses to fully work that dinosaur humor
Think about having to write out those street names when mailing something.
ReplyDeleteSon,.... Are you sure this isn't a fake ID??
ReplyDeleteI stopped at Dinosaur, CO in the summer of 2007 during a camping trip. As we were driving, we passed several signs advertising "Visit the Dino Cafe in Dinosaur, CO, home of the Bronto Burger!".
ReplyDeleteWe missed the place the first time, as its sign only had lettering on one side. There were no cars in the lot. I went in, since it was my idea, while my friends waited in the truck. Inside, the "Dino Cafe" looked like a thrift store. There were newspapers stacked on church pews, and a few tables with mismatched chairs. No customers were present. I heard a TV in the back.
I said "Hello", and an older lady came out.
"Can I help you?" she said. "We're here for the Bronto Burger?" "Have a seat."
I gathered the rest of my friends and we sat around a wobbly table. We waited, and waited. We could tell the lady was doing something from the sounds coming from the back. "If I get food poisoning and die from a Bronto Burger, I'm gonna haunt you," said one of my friends.
Thirty minutes later the owner, chef, cook? came out with four Bronto Burgers.
They were magnificent.
Fully a foot across, they were easily the largest hamburgers we'd ever seen. They were cooked perfectly, juicy, with yellow cheese, half a side salad's worth of greens, mayo, mustard, ketchup. The buns were the size of dinner plates.
I've checked in the years since and can find no mention of the Dino Cafe, or the Bronto Burger.
great story! Thanks! Adventures and memories are going to happen, but you now have a mystery as to if the place still exists, a great hamburger deserves no less
