Forget turkey for me this Thanksgiving. I know where I’m gonna be heading.
Picture this for a Thanksgiving meal.
• a quarter beef patty
• covered with Gold Star Chili
• add onions and cheddar cheese
• all served on a garlic bread bun
• and for a dollar more, you can supersize it, get a double beef patty!
Now that’s living, folks.
Maybe it’s a heart attack waiting to happen but the chili burger is back at Gold Star. I just pray they’re open tomorrow so I can eat half a dozen.
Oh yeah, have a good Thanksgiving.

Yeah, I couldn’t believe it when I saw this thing being advertised. Somebody actually likes this burger?
don’t knock it until you try it. it’s pretty damn good.
Sandwich sounds………….gross (sorry).
hmmmm….yeah, that sounds nasty.
I’ve seen this god awful thing advertised on a billboard downtown. Not only does it sound disgusting, it looks disgusting.
Reminds me of a country song that was out, oh about 8 years ago?
“…. supper in a sack,
a 99 cent heart attack.”
I love Goldstar (sue me), but I’ll never try this particular dish.
But maybe, just maybe, a better thanksgiving quickie meal would be that thang that KFC is advertising. Let’s see: It’s mashed potatoes, corn, crispy chicken chunks, smothered with gravy — all in one little bucket. (I could eat this EXCEPT:) on top of this mess, they add shredded cheese. Yuck.
A junk food junkie I’m not.
I like gold star too and I had this burger last week. Not worth it. I had the runs for two days.
Yep, their chili burger sounds truly bad – just like their cheese coneys.
Hey, I LIKED the sandwich a lot. It really fills you up.
I got curious and had one of these things for lunch even supersized it. It actually wasn’t bad.
I saw that billboard downtown for it too. At first, I thought it was a joke or something. Apparently not.
I like the Gold Star chili burger, but I like most fast food.
I believe this product is their seasonal, limited time answer to McDonald’s McRib.
Jeff,
Get real, man. Fast food is killing you. I haven’t had a McRib in years.
For God’s sake, Larry, be a man and eat at least a dozen of these things at one sitting – then have a couple cheese coneys for desert and wash the whole thing down with a diet Dew. Yep, people in Cincinnati will eat anything.
Your smart ass post isn’t surprising. You don’t like anything that has a Cincinnati connection to it and I guess that now includes Gold Star Chili. Why do you live here if you hate it so much?
Jean,
I think it should be pretty clear that the only reason I stay in Cincinnati is to complain about it – much like the only reason why you visit this blog is to do the same.
Now you have yourself a good old Thanksgiving and don’t eat too many of those chili burgers.
Um, yeah, big psychic group hug to Jean….
OUCH — she’s prickly.
Watch out for the thorns and spines and there could be a poison spider hidden in amongst them.
Yeah, Jean is one uptight lady. She probably just needs to be layed or something.
Wanta see some gross frozen food? Check out some the Jimmy Dean products at your grocery story. People will eat anything.
A funny post today but I want to tell you – your column this week – 810 Main Street – hits the mark, old pal. You know how to tell a slice-of-life story my friend. The first time I read it I was in amazement. The second time – tears in my eyes.
Two words…………YOU ROCK.
i think jean is “mean” jean schmidt.
Thanks, Karen. I’ll pay you off later
I have to agree with Karen, Larry’s column this week was just incredible. Life is a wonder.
Thanks to Larry for seeing the beauty in that encounter and then sharing it with us.
The 810 Main Street story is just, just, just real. I mean I can’t write like that. I don’t know how to do it. And Marilyn, your post about your country days. How do you get it so real?
I have a lot to learn as to how to express myself. But learning is good.
Karen @ the hood, just keep writing. You will find your “voice”. It will emerge with practice, experience and time.
I’m no writer; I spent the vast majority of my life screwing up by marrying the wrong men, working the wrong jobs, rationalizing some things I shouldn’t… But in my blunderings, I’ve managed to finally (at this ripe old age) find my voice. It’s a little one, but at least it’s finally here.
I had one of these things yesterday. I liked it!!!!
