Burger Memory Sometimes you just have to go back and remember a good burger. Don and I found Jenny's, when passing through Fort Bragg, about 9 months ago. We had just driven through the Redwoods. We were headed over to Noyo Headlands Park, to hunt for colorful treasures at "Glass Beach". We had no picnic packed, so we decided to pick up a little something at Jenny's "Old Fashioned Quality" I'm not exactly sure what old fashioned quality means. But I liked the little retro burger joint, when we pulled up. We passed a dad and son and the patriotic flag on the window, then headed for the side entrance. Inside There were plenty of stools, if we wanted to sit at the counter and watch the cook doing his thing. But we decided to stand in line and order to go. That gave me some time to look around and absorb a little quick history on the place. Jenny and Herman Kreienhop opened the place in 1982. This place looked a lot older than that. I'm not sure what it was before. Behind the Counter I watched 3 men working away. All 3 had some interesting tattoos, especially the guy with the shaved head. All were friendly and efficient and before long we had out warm bag and drinks and we were off. Noyou Headlands Park We found a picnic table, not too far from the water. I didn't get a photo of the raven that tried to join us. A man walking by, said that raven frequently visited people at that table. Cheeseburger & Fries The burger and fries reminded me of fast food when I was kid. It was nice and hot and yes, a little bit greasy. It was darn good! After we ate, we wandered on the rocks along near the water. There's not a whole lot to say about our Jenny's experience, except the food was cheap and decent. However, the combo of our carry out picnic and the beautiful scenery, was perfect. We even found lots of tiny, colored pieces of glass. What a fun burger and beach memory!

The Dining Blog
This is a blog about Dining Adventures. Sometimes, I talk about food. Below, you can read how this started. On July 4th 2011, I set a goal to try 50 culturally diverse restaurants in one year! (I knew that was possible, living in the Houston area) I spent the year pulling in friends and family to join me, on some unusual dining adventures. I met some curious people, tried some scary foods and explored places and cultures I never would have otherwise. Even though I met my goal, I learned too much to end my adventures in dining. I have continued blogging about memorable dining adventures of all kinds, near and far... and all the discoveries and funny things I've learned along the way! Locations and types of dining adventures, are listed further down. Archives
