Went down to this little greasy hamburger joint in downtown Decatur that's been here for 82 years. The patties are about 70% bread crumbs, 10% meat and 20% Crisco. But, man if you load that bad boy on a bun covered in mustard and smothered in chopped onions it is something good. The original Slider.

They had one of those Pespi banners on their wall a couple of years back that said "80th Anniversary". They've now put a "2" sticker over the "0" sticker, but didn't bother to change the "th" to "nd"!

So, to Penn's, I say Happy Eighty-Twoth.

I was just at The Brick the other day for lunch and looked across at Penn's and thought about how long it had been since I'd had a Penn burger. Happy Anniversary to Penn's, I'll have to go get me one now!!!

Tim,

Doesn't Moulton have a place that serves similar burgers? I know that there are a few places in North Mississippi that have been serving them since I was a kid.

I'm not Tim, but the answer your question is yes, down town close to the court house.

Also there one in Florence on Tenn. St.. I think it called Pool House Cafe or something similar.

When I worked in Decatur everyone said I just had to go to Penn's and try the burgers. I finally did. I ordered two, ate about half of one and threw the rest away. I'm by no means a health food nut but that's just a heart attack on a bun!

Ritchie, Moulton has Nesmith's, and it is as you say, just like Penn's. Athens has Dub's. I don't know the one in Florence, though. There's also a Penn's in Hartselle and, if I'm not mistaken, one in Cullman.
