Holiday House Shout Out

Good on Scotty McClellan for giving a shout out to Tarrytown burger joint Holiday House in his tell some book about the Bush Admin. This was my local burger haven as well. Nothing beat going with childhood friend Monte Warden (he would pay) to grab a hickory burger and a Dr. Pepper at Holiday House on a summer afternoon. Going back as an adult, I realized the food wasn't all that, though my dad swore by it to the end. (I think Holiday House closed when the shopping center in which it sat was bought by an animal rights activist who disapproved of beef.) The Chronicle review fairly caught it:

Flame-kissed and floppy, Holiday House's signature cheeseburger stands up to its reputation as an old-fashioned burger of the drugstore variety.
