Char-Grill

Char-Grill is a good restaurant. It is my dad's favorite. They sell hotdogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, BLTs and milkshakes. Their milkshakes are so thick, that you have to let them melt before you can drink them. Mostly people eat in their cars, but there are two big shiny and red tables to sit at, too. You look at a pad that is their menu and check off what you want. There is a number on top that you remember. Then you put the paper through this slot. The workers look at it, cook your food and then call out your number. You pay and eat your food. If you watch inside the little building, you will see flames come up toward the ceiling. It is scary!

There are these birds that my dad calls "Char-Birds", because they hang out at the Char-Grill waiting for french fries to be thrown at them. It is fun to feed them. They're fat, of course.

One day, my dad went to this Devo concert and he got to meet them. They said that they were starving to death. They asked him where they could eat. He told them to go to Char-Grill and he told them how to get there. Later, he passed by (Char-Grill) and there was Devo standing outside. He didn't tell me if they were wearing their red, flower-pot hats. I bet they were.

I like Char-Grill, too. They are cheap and the food is good. If you are ever in Raleigh, you should go there.

The Devo guys were NOT wearing their flower-pot hats.

This is a story that I have never heard. Your dad has been holding out on us.
