Cook-Out Restaurant

Cook-Out, a small chain of double lane drive-thru restaurants is synonymous with the words Greensboro & lunch.

They claim "Cooked outdoors style", but in all my times in going to this lovely establishment, I have never seen anyone cooking outside. Is it a conspiracy? Even more questions have to be asked of the High Point road location which is directly across from the dog kennels?

Bark. Bark. Sizzle Sizzle.

But what constitutes "cooked outdoors?" At my house this would generally lead you to believe, that everything would be burnt, smell like lighter fluid, and probably has fallen into the coals a few times and then wiped off before it made its way to your plate.

Its odd when you go to restaurant and notice the beef actually looks like ground beef. Somehow in the madness of American fast food, we've substituted beef with a gray patty of beef like fat. Not so at cook-out, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the meat mom used to make.

The best part of Cook-Out is the oddity factor in their menu. Two of my favorites is the "steak style" and "western style" cheese burgers, but many others exist. Unlike other fast food places, instead of just having "a cheeseburger" Cookout offers their burgers in Flavors.

The bad part is its generally messy. Onions in your teeth, A1 on your cheek, and bad, bad, breath that certainly will clear the board room meeting very quickly.

Overall cookout gets a pretty good grade from me. Cheap, Good, and unique. But the one reason that makes Cookout a step above the rest is, that it's the only restaurant where you can order Chili-Cheese Fries, have it come in a foot-long hot dog box, and requires 4 other people to help you finish it.

Thank you Jesus for Cook-Out.
