Kirk's Steakburgers Redux: YouTube Fame

Yesterday I had the odd experience of being recognized in public from a video I posted here about two years ago. I was just minding my own business, going into Kirk's Steakburgers for lunch with my family, when a woman came running up to me asking, "Didn't I just see you on YouTube?"

Recognized for my burger eating habits... should I be worried?

Meet my new friend, Ellie G :^)

Here's the original video she recognized me from:

"It's just so goddamn goood!!" HAHAHHA

I love you, man!!! When the hell are you coming to TX?!

[kenrg]

@joey75220 I don't know when, but someday I'm coming through Texas on my beer, bbq, and bourbon tour of the south. I just need a couple of months free and money in the bank and I'm on the way.

I bet you were surprised, Ken. I remember seeing the video. :-)

@ockteby Now if you walked up to me at Kirk's burgers I would be floored!

What? They have a celebrity in there, recognized in public, and they still made you pay full price?! That's not right... But seriously, it must have been an odd experience being recognized like that...

And you know what...I’ve always wanted to taste a real american burger... they are mythic...and now, thanks to you, my mouth is watering for a bite of a burger in a place on another continent...that's just not fair... :)

[kenrg]

@flan984 Well, I'm sure you have wonderful things to eat where you are. They just aren't as good as this burger ;^)

[kenrg]

@chicago85bearz Start planning the trip now. There's other things to do once you get here, but the burger alone is worth it :^)

[chicago85bearz]

I want to try this place so much. Few thousand miles away though.

@kenrg damn it no... can't think why not. Kids... don't drink! (plenty of other footage though)

@21stCenturyCat Great story - Did you get it on tape?
