As a kid in Tucson, my parents were pretty poor, on top of the fact they are into eating very healthy. So my first burger was after I was a little older and was with a friend. We went to the first Jack in the Box here in Tucson. It was a novelty to me at the time. The biggest thing I remember about getting fast food was Lucky Wishbone. That was a HUGE splurge for the folks back in the day I can remember being five years old and loving the box the food came in. I also thought that the little boy and girl on the sign were me and my brother, because my Mom said so! LOL Good Morning Tyler!

The Sunnyside High School football games, the burger sold by the tent next to the visiting stands. The price of admission to the game...well, consider it a cover charge to get to the burgers!     The best affordable old fashioned burger in town, by far, no contest…
