Iowa 80 – Worlds Largest Truckstop….Burger
On a recent trip to Iowa we passed the World’s Largest Truckstop known as Iowa 80. It was a site to see with all those semi-trucks parked, fueling and realizing that they weren’t even close to capacity. Immediately I figured, if I was a delicious burger where would I be?

If you were in Austin and it was your last burger ever where would you go? That was the question I asked my Austin native food guide today and the answer was Hopdoddy’s. Hopdoddy in Austin, TX is a beer and burger bar focused on local and quality. When you go to a place on a Tuesday evening and the line is out the door your excitement level can have a tendency to go up a few notches and thus was the case with the Hopdoddy burger experience. I’m happy to report that as soon as I saw the Hopdoddy menu I knew this would be special. 
Today we ventured to Springville, UT to experience Firehouse Burger in all its glory. I’ve been hearing good things about Firehouse Burger and with its location where the old BrandX (of local fame) once stood it had big shoes to fill. I’m happy to report that Firehouse Burger is better than BrandX ever was and hopefully you’ll get a chance to check it out in the near future. Upon opening the front door I was overwhelmed with the smell and smoke of a good burger drive-in and the hand written specials including the “Most Popular” Red Devil burger and the “Yummy” Ladder 41 burger my heart skipped a beat in anticipation of what might be created by this place. I ordered the the Ladder 41 because the word yummy appeals to my inner soul more so than Red Devil.
