This is inside Buck's Bar and outside the cover of last month's issue of the Magic City magazine. This month's issue is not online just yet, I suppose to encourage people to buy the magazine at the newstand.
I reluctantly report that I took the advice of this month's Magic City, which, not surprisingly, has something to do with Billings MT, and tried a cheeseburger that was supposed to be the very best in this area, I mean #1 mouth-watering on the front of your shirt good.
Now Buck's Bar was a reasonable place on Central Ave with lots of normal people having lunch and drinking beer but the cheeseburger was only average. I am not tempted to try burgers #2 through 5, except maybe I will try the one at Walker's. I have a hunch this was a print version of one of those infomercials you see on TV. I wonder how much it cost?

We knew this guy to be a friend of PopEye and to like burgers—"I'd be glad to pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." But who knew his full name. Chalk it up to Wikipedia and Google.
I was going to recommend the magazine and a similar one on Montana but now I am not so sure. This is what happens if you don't tell the truth: I'm not sure I will ever trust them again.
I don't understand the prejudice against franchise eateries. I mean, if they make a good sandwich, then more power to them I say. Like the Angus Thickburger at Hardee's or the traditional Reuben at Arby's. These are good sandwiches.
By the way, there are apparently a few more magic cities scattered around the USA: Gary, Indiana and Birmingham, Alabama are two that pop up on a Google search, both having something to do with springing up quickly, like magic, just like Billings MT.
