Memories!
Over fifty years ago, in Austin, Texas, the Nighthawk on the drag alongside the University served a large plate with a hamburger steak smothered with beans and a toasted bun on the side. A great meal for hungry, poor students.
I often remember it, and wonder if it is still there. Probably replaced with a franchise outlet.

Currently, a little place on Hwy 22 (in ranching and cowboy country) between Calgary and Black Diamond. Great hamburgers, and a fine breakfast of eggs, good bacon or ham, hash browns and thick toast. They serve homemade pies, and will sell you their frozen whole pies to take with you.
