Junks are brought to you by Crop MECAF, the official heating and cooling company of the junkies.

Don't forget, in just about 15-ish minutes, Brian Baldinger, Odyssey NFL Insider.

He'll join the show.

We'll talk about Chidor Sanders making his first start in Las Vegas this weekend and more.

We'll get to hit the skin shortly, but I believe we're going to take a quick phone call. It's an open line Thursday. They did want to chime in on the Sizzler conversation. I don't think I've been, I think I went to Sizzler a couple times in college because it was there in college park. And you could get a cheap steak. You get like steak and you know like 13 bucks or right you know what I mean and diarrhea yeah yeah probably a like uh

rumbly tumbling maybe you're in your dorm room late that night that was that was that was eating

nice yeah like I said I think I did a Friday night college college date, sophomore year. Probably was 35 bucks.

That Norwich toilet is so gross. Oh, yeah, I got so assaulted. I was when I still lived in the dorms. Let's go to Kurt in Pennsylvania. Kurt, what's up, buddy? You're all with the junkies. Open line Thursday. Chance to steal the show. Hey, good morning. Good morning, Junk. So, Kurt. Big fan, listen to you every morning.

Thanks, man. What part of PA are you calling from?

Wainsborough. I have no idea where that is. Thank you for listening, though. Thank you guys for the show. Cakes, you basically brought up a flashback for me. I hadn't thought about Sizzler in 45 years.

Right. I'm a bit older than you guys. We had one up the street. There was a big deal.

My father took us there. But to explain it, as I recall, it was cafeteria style. You'd grab a tray.

You'd push it down the rail. Okay. And then when you get to the area where they were open, you know, cooking, the steaks, you would tell them what you want, and they'd give you this little TP plastic cart. Okay. It had different colors and numbers. Similar. Okay. And you put that on the tray, and then you finish up, and then somebody would bring you, a waiter would bring it to your table.

Oh, okay. You know, five or ten minutes after. All right. So it was a combination of both. I mean, they got a silly menu cakes. I'm looking at it. Get a prime rib burger. Okay. Sounds solid. Fresh grilled salmon. Grilled trim skewers. Trust me. I don't know how many times I went to Cisler as a kid or a teenager.

Tried tip sirloin. There's no chance I ever went to Sizzler and ordered a piece of fish. Of course not. That was impossible. Malibu chicken. I think it's very acceptable. I think it's very acceptable now, though. If you go to a nice steakhouse. Yeah.

If you go to like the Palm or Valtaggio, insert a name of nice steakhouse, you get a nice seafood dish.

But you wouldn't roll those bones at Sizzler.

Plus you get some slow-cooked ribs and chicken.

Yeah, I'm going to leave that to the barbecue spot.

I'm telling you, that's why I comped it to Fuddruckers, and I like Fuddruckers, is that at Fud Ruckers, you order at the counter, and they'll bring you the food. That's what my recollection of Sizzler was. I don't think it was a waiter that sat down and said, what would you like? Fud Ruckers fries. I think they were like potato wedges, elite.

They had like a nacho cheese machine.

You could dip your fries into elite. I've been to a Fuddruckers in the last six months. Where is there one? We went in Myrtle Beach. Ah, yeah. Other than, like, I guess you said, Capone Arena they have, other than there, are they basically extinct around here? I don't know. Huh? There's one in Ashburn. There is? Right in the center of Ashburn Farm. There used to be one very close to where we used to broadcast in Fairfax. Oh, yeah. Right before you got on the 66, there was a fun record. That would be a convenient one you could hit.
