To those Badwebbers in the northeast, I found a possible "Destination Ride" for some nice day during the Spring/Summer/Fall: http://www.tedsrestaurant.com/ The Meriden location only has "On Street" parking, and it is very tiny inside. The Cromwell location is in a shopping center with plenty of parking outside and plenty of seating inside. The burgers are AWESOME. Discuss! | ||

Steamed burgers, eh? Well, While Castles are steamed and I love/hate them. If you say they're really good, I'm willing to ride down and try one. Let us know when you want to get together and which location, and I'll do my best to be there. I've been known to ride a few hundred miles to try a tasty meal. | ||

I've been to Teds many times, they are freaking awesome. They were even featured in an episode of Burger Land. I don't get out that way much anymore, but it is well worth the trip. | ||

Depending on what weekend I may be able to go. Need a reason to take the new tuber for a long ride. | ||
| Griffmeister |
Not much of a ride, that's only ten minutes from my house.  | ||
| Jaimec |
Crusty, when I first heard about a place that steamed square burger patties, White Castle was my first thought too. These are definitely NOT White Castles.  | ||
| Jaimec |
By the way, I'd definitely recommend the Cromwell location for the abundance of parking space and a larger interior with more tables and booths than the Meriden location. | ||

Damn it my mouth is friggen watering right now!!!!!!! | ||
| Jaimec |
George, you could always take "the long way!"  | ||
| Crusty |
The weather's supposed to be nice this Sunday; Just sayin'. And it's only a couple of hours away. And it looks like it's real easy to get to. (Message edited by Crusty on April 10, 2014) | ||

I was just there this PAST Sunday... I don't want too much of a good thing. However, that doesn't stop the rest of you guys from going. I was hoping for something maybe next month (when the weather would undoubtedly be warmer too). | ||
| Crusty |
OK; we'll wait a couple of weeks or so and let the weather get nicer still. You've piqued my interest, though. Now I want to try one just because it sounds so, Different (You know how us Buell riders are!) (and EBR and Moto Guzzi riders, too!) | ||
| Brumbear |
UUUMMMMM I am in | ||
| Griffmeister |
Yeah, I'll have to work on an interesting way to get there. Did a ride by of the Cromwell store today just to be sure where it was. Let's work on a date. | ||
| Damnut |
So are we talking about going to the Meriden or the Cromwell location? | ||
| Griffmeister |
I believe the venue of choice was Cromwell since they have a larger eating area as well as off street parking. They are not really that far apart so there's no disadvantage as far as distance no matter which direction you come from. | ||
| Jaimec |
Okay, May 11th is Mother's Day, so that's out (at least for me... Mom won't get on the back of my bike no way no how). So, either Saturday May 10, or the weekend of May 17/18. What do you all think? | ||
| Griffmeister |
Not the 17/18th, that's the ADK weekend. | ||
| Jaimec |
Crap... okay... Does Saturday the 10th work for everyone then?? | ||
| Crusty |
Whythehellnot? | ||
| Griffmeister |
I'll go out on a limb here and say "Let's do this".  | ||
| Crusty |
Saturday May 10 Ted's Restaurant 43 Berlin Road (RT372) Cromwell, CT 06416 What time? Noon? 1:00? Later? Earlier? I like 1:00, but I'm flexible. | ||
| Jaimec |
1:00 works for me! | ||
| Aesquire |
It's 350 miles and 5+ hours for me.... I'm considering it. | ||
| Griffmeister |
Everyone likes 1:00, sounds good. Aesquire wouldn't have to leave the house until 8, can sleep in late. Maybe we should put something up on a couple of the Stormfronts. Would be nice to get more locals to come. | ||
| Brumbear |
OKAY I will be there!!!! | ||
| Jaimec |
I already created the "Event" on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/events/477682212357834/ (Message edited by jaimec on April 14, 2014) | ||

See you then | ||
| Jaimec |
I think I've sufficiently "spammed" the "Storm Fronts" forum.  I'm looking forward to this! Better stock up on my lipitor before hand... | ||
| Crusty |
I've got a feeling that this is going to be Big! |
