Well Hello Dotty!

.

I think she was Dolly's sister.

While on our summer's ramblings, we chanced upon an eatery of note.


Not too sure how they got this picture of me and my "womanly shape" to plaster on the side of the restaurant.


Aside from that - - - - Dotty's, in downtown Madison, Wisconsin, is a kitchy, fun, and charming little hamburger joint to which I would return and return.


It features deep, private, wooden booths.

Well of COURSE it does, I'm sure those Badgers like privacy on their "first dates" too!

Fisherhubby and I are long past first date stage - - - but we enjoyed the privacy anyway.


The decor is eclectic. (Don't you just love that word?) It's a blend of college town,


Random Wisconsin woodsy things,


Stained glass window depicting America's Dairy Land, where the REAL happy cows graze,


And vintage miniature aviation.


Lots of vintage aviation,


Including blimps.

And the food? I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better burger anywhere. They had lots of topping choices.


Mine was a California burger with guacamole, spouts, cheese, tomato and lettuce.

YUM.


And for sides - I had fried mushrooms with dipping sauce and Fisherhubby had delicately floured, soft-in-the-center, fried cheese curds.


Fisherhubby topped it all off with a chocolate malt.

With whipped cream.

And a cherry.

The cherry WAS on top - - - but as you can see, it did a little slip 'n slide while I took the picture.

I also took a sip of the malt and it was yummy.

And before you ask - - - YES, Fisherhubby DOES mind when I take a sip of his malts. But honestly, I can NOT drink one all by myself, and we all KNOW they make pitiful "take out" items.
