1:00

all kinds of ways .

1:02

Well , hello , hello , Welcome to

1:04

the Powers Point Podcast . We

1:06

are on the road , as Jim said

1:08

, at the delicious Burger

1:11

House in Cherville , Indiana

1:13

, where the burgers are over the

1:15

top , the pickle chips are hot and

1:17

the drinks are cold . So

1:20

welcome . I am Scott . That's

1:23

Jim . I wanted to make sure I said

1:25

that so Jim didn't think I forgot

1:27

this time . Well , they gotta know who I am , Right

1:29

, right Of course I've never been here

1:31

before . You know we

1:33

weren't supposed to be here , Jim . Yeah , we

1:45

were supposed to be at Big Daddy's Barbecue in Merrillville , Indiana , and due to an accident

1:47

there was no cash here , so in turn there was no Powers Point sidecast

1:49

at the barbecue joint .

1:50

We couldn't wait any longer . Our stomachs were rumbling .

1:53

And I figured we'd try something

1:55

different here . You know we

1:57

were going to go to a pepista Mexican restaurant

2:00

down the street we were talking about McDonald's

2:02

and whatnot but we chose

2:05

this place . Looks very interesting

2:07

and they got really

2:09

good food here , from what I remember

2:11

. You'll find out

2:14

here shortly . We'll be giving honest opinions

2:16

here . So this place opened at 11

2:18

. It's not even crowded here . The

2:21

music's a little loud if you

2:23

hear it in the background , or I'm talking , talking

2:25

, whatever that is .

2:26

It's like wooden leather kind of aesthetic kind

2:28

of it's kind of posh . Yeah , posh

2:30

is a word . They saw my flannel . They're ready

2:32

to kick me out .

2:33

I mean , it's the cheapest burger here , I think is like

2:35

15 or 16 bucks , and

2:37

don't come here looking for like a

2:40

regular burger with just some onions

2:42

and no , this is like the stuff you see on TV

2:44

, where it's all big like a baseball-sized

2:47

meat and fancy and little

2:49

coleslaw decorations and stuff On

2:51

a brioche bun , because they don't

2:54

have just regular buns here . I saw

2:56

gluten-free on the menu and the alfaretta

2:58

chicken that was hidden on the very bottom

3:00

of the menu . We'll see how

3:02

their pickle chips are too . Yeah

3:05

, the pickle chips . I like fried pickles

3:07

. Yeah , that's pretty good . We

3:09

ordered the mac and cheese . I've had it once

3:12

, so Jim in turn ordered it

3:14

to try his thing . I've got to try it . Stay

3:16

tuned . When we get to food , we'll give

3:18

that honest review that only the Powers

3:20

Point podcast can give . We'll

3:23

be back .

3:24

You still recording ? Yeah , oh hey

3:26

. This is Hank Yarbo coming

3:28

to you from Dog River and

3:31

you're listening to the Powers Point podcast

3:34

. Sorry

3:37

, sometimes I act like an idiot

3:39

, like I'm from Bullerton or something .

3:41

All right , the mac

3:43

and cheese is here and the pickle chills . The

3:46

mac and cheese is here and the pickle chills . The mac and cheese is very

3:48

fancy . It's in

3:50

this like square kind of bowl Real

3:54

tiny bowl , with the cheese like sprinkled

3:57

on top , like almost

3:59

like what ? Dressed like a

4:01

what's it called ? Like a garnish Garnish kind

4:03

of foot . There is cheese at the bottom

4:06

but it's less . It's more like at the top , like a garnish Garnish

4:08

kind of foot . There is cheese at the bottom , but it's less . It's more like at the top

4:10

. As it goes down it gets more like buttery kind of noodle . It's good

4:12

. Yeah , it's good . You've got to mix it around .

4:17

It's pretty good . And

4:19

then also we've got pickle chips . So

4:25

these pickle chips are , as Jim said just a little while ago , off

4:27

the recording . It's like a pickle spread , you know , like thin

4:29

, yeah , and

4:31

surprisingly not sour like

4:34

a normal pickle .

4:37

I think if people didn't like pickle that

4:39

much because of the sourness , they would like these

4:41

. I agree they're

4:43

kind of thick too . They're real thick and , like

4:45

you said , not a lot of coating on it , but they're

4:48

good .

4:50

So , as you can hear in the background , the crowd is

4:52

that . Well

4:54

, it's actually old people talking really loud

4:56

. That's us , oh yeah

4:58

, oh yeah , it's just me and

5:01

myself , but so far

5:03

it's good . I really

5:05

like the buttery noodle man . Yeah

5:09

, like you

5:11

said , we do that stirred up a lot , then the iced

5:13

tea , not sweetened , but

5:16

it's okay .

5:17

The water is very clean . That I have . Yeah

5:19

, I can see through it . That's a plus . It's not

5:21

river water . I've been to places where there's bad water

5:23

, believe me .

5:24

Oh , see the little floaters on there . Oh

5:26

, dude , that's worse than seeing like

5:28

a floater stuck inside an ice

5:30

cream . That ruins the whole meal . Thanks , Like

5:33

fecal matter . All right , you know what ? We don't have

5:35

to talk like that . Anyway , we'll be back

5:37

when the main force comes through , and

5:39

that's all this is going to

5:41

be . Today is just the Burger

5:44

House review .

5:45

What's up , guys ? It's adult film star

5:47

Jessie Jade , and you are listening to the Powers

5:49

Podcast . I'm the best podcaster

5:51

out there . You better listen up , you better

5:53

tune in and get it .

5:55

We already established that this place is

5:57

kind of posh , it's industrial

5:59

. We got the hardwoods , we got the

6:02

steel railing , the overhead

6:05

dumps that are uncovered .

6:07

There's some really dusty , but some

6:09

antlers in the corner with Christmas ornaments

6:11

on it .

6:13

They're a little bit delayed on that . What

6:16

do you think of the atmosphere ?

6:18

I liked it . It's pretty good . I

6:20

mean , if this was a regular place , then

6:23

if I had the money flowing

6:25

, you know like this

6:28

would be like a real once in a blue moon for

6:30

me , because how much money I

6:32

make . But if I had regular

6:34

good info , I'd come here once in a while

6:37

, It'd be pretty good .

6:39

It is pricey , like you said . Thank

6:41

you very much , you're a rock and I'm a speedy loser , you

6:43

know . I basically laugh when people see that we're recording

6:45

. Yeah , like you said , thank you very much , you're a rock and I'm just going to

6:47

be loose . It always makes me laugh when people see that we're recording . So they talk louder

6:49

. So they're on the power

6:51

show . They're going to get famous on this show . Whether

6:54

you're not All

6:57

over the internet , we're down to

6:59

three of them , oh dang it

7:01

. The menu is pretty

7:03

simple .

7:04

Yeah , it's basically two bag

7:07

of folded pieces of paper front

7:09

and back and

7:11

on the right of the burgers it

7:13

would have just the number . And I called

7:15

Scott . I said I thought that was the ranking or something

7:17

. He said no , that's the price .

7:21

But you know , with all that , cash flowed at the PowerPoints

7:23

.

7:24

Oh yeah , we're just , you know , tripping

7:26

in the money over here . You got that thing .

7:29

I wouldn't normally eat here myself , but

7:31

nobody else would come here with me Because

7:35

they're like , if we want a burger , we'll just

7:37

go to the soup store or

7:39

McDonald's .

7:40

Stop tricking me . You tricked me into coming here .

7:43

But the burgers are all handmade . We're

7:46

all all like really good .

7:48

I'm going to guess it's not like

7:50

the standard fast food places

7:53

where they just like there's a pattern

7:55

and they just keep doing it , doing it , doing the same ones

7:57

out . I'm sure this is like a little different .

8:00

Also , I recommend this

8:02

place . Like if you're in the area and you're

8:04

looking for a not-so-average

8:07

restaurant , you do like this

8:10

. People walking out of the bathroom looking

8:12

mean oh what was the clerk ? Oh

8:14

, no , Looks like he's on work release

8:16

program . I'm going to check

8:18

if he watched the scene . Hold on the

8:20

sink's dry , Jim . Oh , all right , See

8:22

you again .

8:25

Sit down , Pretty

8:27

man . I hope the

8:29

food . Yeah

8:32

, now , when they hear this and then they hear

8:34

the next part after we get sick , you know

8:36

, then they'll change the review .

8:38

We gotta be nice before the food comes out , otherwise

8:41

it'll taste like Easy Exactly

8:43

. So we'll be back

8:45

. Hey , how about the cleanliness ? I know they

8:47

just opened like an hour ago , but hey , how

8:50

would you describe the floor ? Like a marble .

8:54

No , or it's like a . It looks stone-like

8:56

, concrete stone kind

8:58

of like stained .

9:01

On one side of the restaurant there's just

9:03

like plain brick wall . That's

9:06

something from a I don't

9:08

know like if you're walking down the street , the storefront

9:10

, you just got a brick wall there . I

9:14

really like the woods work . I do it's

9:16

almost West British .

9:18

Yeah Well , with the country music

9:20

it's mainly the most of the songs you've been listening

9:22

to .

9:23

And then , like on the wall behind

9:26

me , there's like globes

9:28

, there's eight like I don't

9:31

know . Like eight globes stuck in wood on

9:33

the walls , like I don't know .

9:33

like eat gloves stuck in wood on the walls like decoration

9:36

, like those old gloves you see in the high

9:39

school and middle school , the big ones on the teacher's

9:41

table and then there's a sign that says

9:43

full belly , full heart

9:45

, and then

9:47

it says 71,949

9:50

meals served .

9:52

Oh , they're countless . You

9:54

have like a fortune of every burger

9:56

. So that burger house goes to provide

9:58

valid meals to hungry

10:00

children and third world poverties through

10:03

partner stiff with

10:05

the Alive International . Gives

10:08

Alive that four .

10:09

So that's kind of cool that they , if

10:12

it really goes there , if they'd be cool or if

10:14

they'd hate it for this commercial . So

10:17

I'm just trying to explain I know , I know Beautiful

10:20

picture of Route 30 here .

10:23

Got a gorgeous view of White Castle across

10:26

the street and the burgers are

10:28

looking pretty fat walking out of that kitchen

10:30

. They smell somebody .

10:31

She's better . It's coming out of a . What

10:33

else do you think ?

10:35

people should know before we get our food . Walking out of that kids , they smash them .

10:37

Daddy , she's better , it's coming out of there . What else do you think people should know before

10:39

we get our food ? Pick a bar area . I mean , if you looked at it and the inside

10:41

when you first walk in , you're like this

10:43

is for only adults and stuff and it's

10:45

a fancy bar or restaurant , but

10:49

there's pictures on the wall that kids drew . So

10:52

obviously kids came in here and their parents drew

10:54

.

10:56

So you kids drew . So obviously kids can't even here and uh their parents and drew . So you

10:58

can bring a family here and let me tell you there's some horrible coloring . Somebody really

11:00

went outside the line . Okay , good , stand here judging

11:02

them like really

11:04

went outside the lines little

11:07

tommy , you suck coloring got

11:11

like whisper green up on the wall .

11:13

I don't know . Don't know , but it's a nice place . It looks like it

11:15

could be a safety place and everything , and

11:19

at night time the place is possible

11:21

. That's what you said . Yeah , this is pretty busy

11:23

and nice . We like to come to a review

11:26

early and work right from the open the doors .

11:29

Otherwise it'll be too noisy and

11:31

even I can't cut that stuff out .

11:34

You're gonna get a seat in the disc , otherwise it'll be too noisy

11:36

and even I can't cut that stuff out .

11:37

You're going to get seats in the disc with all this music playing

11:40

. Yeah , I'll figure that one out , but

11:42

I don't care about copyright laws . If

11:44

you listened to the last episode , the

11:46

Great Mystery episode , you

11:48

know for the mysterious beat

11:51

. If you just listen

11:53

to Scooby-Doo question , they're

11:55

terrible . But I do know

11:57

that Hanna-Barbera doesn't really care . She

12:00

doesn't . Well , they're dead . But

12:02

you know , but the company , they

12:04

don't care

12:06

that much . They're terrible , yeah .

12:10

Disney on me over here . Oh Disney , they want

12:12

to spread their grass .

12:14

We'd rather , you know , somebody dies and

12:16

they have a Mickey Mouse like put

12:18

on their gravestone and Disney

12:21

finds out , they'll make you think that what

12:23

they won't

12:25

have , any likeness there's

12:28

a preschool .

12:28

What if you plant flowers around the grave ? There's like

12:30

Mickey's head and stuff . Burn it , oh

12:33

my God .

12:36

But there was a daycare and

12:38

they had somebody come in and they put like

12:40

Disney characters on the wall for the kids

12:42

and took a picture . Disney

12:45

got wind of it and made them refade the whole wall

12:47

, oh my gosh . So Hanna-Barbera

12:50

came behind them and like

12:52

everything new on

12:54

of ours .

12:55

Wow , that's cool . Now , wait a minute

12:57

. They can put . You can do

12:59

Steamboat Willie on your grave now , because

13:02

it's public domain now , and Winnie the Pooh

13:04

yeah . So in a matter

13:06

of time you can do all that , but it better

13:09

look like Steamboat Willie

13:11

. Don't stray off a bit . Well

13:13

no , in a . It's like you know , willie , don't stray off them man

13:15

. Well , no , in a couple , in about what ? 20 years or

13:17

something .

13:19

All the other ones are going to start as long as they don't die .

13:20

all right , we can't keep pushing it back , though . They keep pushing

13:22

that date . They didn't start years ago , they started

13:24

doing it .

13:31

So we are going to have another commercial and then , when we come back , we're

13:33

going to talk about our food .

13:34

Let's get that food . Hey , this is Fred Awanek from Corner

13:36

Gas , and you're listening to the Powers Point Podcast

13:39

13:39

All right , so we've just got our food , so

13:41

we need to locate Appearance Jim

13:43

.

13:44

Yes , very fancy . The

13:47

fries come in like that . You know those little

13:49

in the back of the fryer . They have that wire

13:52

basket that you dip the fries in . Right

13:54

, it's like a small one , it's a little basket

13:56

, your own little mini fry . Looks

13:58

like they took it out of the fryer and hurried up and put it on here . It's

14:01

real cool . My burger or you're

14:03

boring you , my burger has

14:05

an egg on it . It's an Aussie Tim . What else was

America . Go ahead , I

14:35

14:43

, mayonnaise , mustard , butter

14:45

, lettuce , tomatoes , served in all

14:47

holes , wheat and plum .

14:49

All in all , the presentation looks really good

14:51

. Rectangle plate , very

14:53

clean . It comes on like a

14:56

, not like a flat plate or

14:58

anything . Dude , look at that Cheese just melted

15:00

out of this file . Make sure you take

15:03

that toothpick out of there . Man , I know

15:05

how to do that . The buns are homemade

15:07

here . I do know that we're going

15:09

to try this and we'll let you know

15:11

how to do a wetch . Ah

15:13

, that was good . Okay , so now

15:16

that we had a sample of it , I

15:18

talk more than I eat , so that's why I'm always

15:20

the last one to finish here .

15:21

Yeah , I

15:23

eat fast too , but it was a very

15:26

good burger . It was like

15:28

a commercial , like the picture was so perfect

15:31

and it had

15:33

an egg on it and stuff . I had to poke the omelet because

15:36

I didn't know it was . I don't like for

15:38

any omelet or yolk and stuff all over

15:40

my sandwich , so I just soft that up with the

15:42

two fries in the bun . But

15:44

it was real good . Meat

15:47

was okay . It wasn't you know , uh , raw

15:49

or nothing . The seasoning good

15:51

, yes , the seasoning good .

15:53

The fries the fries are very

15:55

good and the bacon you can actually

15:58

taste . Like you can taste every little bit

16:00

of this , like I got thrown

16:02

off a little bit because I didn't see that I had

16:04

, like blue cheese crumbled . Oh yeah , but

16:07

I'm down with blue cheese . It just threw

16:09

me off .

16:10

And the fries , too , that there's not really

16:12

a bad like

16:15

you through the off . And the fries , too , that there's not really a bad like you . Get some fries , a couple aren't cooked or overcooked

16:17

, they're all the same and they're all perfectly crunchy

16:19

. I'm like , wow , this is delicious .

16:22

So overall the

16:24

experience here so far , I

16:27

mean , they're not bothering us . You

16:29

know , like some restaurants you go to , they're

16:32

like how's

16:35

the taste ? How's the taste ? How's the taste ? You're

16:37

okay , it's like jesus , I didn't put it in my mouth

16:39

yet .

16:40

You know they're pretty laid back and stuff . It's real

16:42

good . We haven't had to ask for a drink , no

16:44

, it keeps you refilled and everything well

16:48

, overall , I had dicky place .

16:50

You know , like you said , the only thing is it's

16:52

a pricey .

16:53

Yeah , that's . The biggest law is

16:55

that I would rate

16:57

it at the pricey . The price

16:59

is like real expensive . But

17:03

for a once in a blue moon

17:05

, you know like just

17:07

take the missus out or whatever that promotion

17:10

or the anniversary everybody wants to go to like the

17:12

same steakhouse in town . Well

17:14

, why don't you just come here and it's like for

17:17

the same price you're going to pay at a big steakhouse

17:19

, you'll get real good food here .

17:25

And the size of the burger isn't like huge . I mean it's a nice burger

17:28

. Bits of your hand . It

17:30

leaks everywhere . It's

17:32

real beef , you know .

17:34

And with the fries and the appetizer and the

17:36

mac and cheese , you know it's the perfect amount

17:38

for a good meal .

17:40

And I'm not walking out of here hurt . No , maybe

17:42

my wallet will blow my guy . I'm

17:45

saying this . Better be at least a thing . I

17:48

don't care . Well , we don't do

17:50

these reviews every week , no , but

17:54

yeah , if you're in the Cherville

17:56

area and you're

17:58

looking for something to try , it's

18:02

right on the corner 30 and 41

18:04

. It's right on the corner across

18:06

the street from the T-Bulls , which is the old

18:08

folks' restaurant . They've

18:10

been there since before we were born , big

18:12

time . So that's my review . So , uh , that's

18:15

my review . Jim , the

18:17

got any kind of knowledge ?

18:21

Uh , not really . I forgot to think about stuff .

18:22

Take your time , jim , I can cut to all Okay , I'll

18:24

edit , let's see .

18:25

Uh , if you're in the share of an area

18:28

, please stop by the Burger House . It

18:30

is very delicious and good prices , no

18:32

matter what that stock price . Alright , here's

18:35

a quote . The man who says his

18:37

wife can't take a joke forgets that

18:39

she took him .

18:41

And there you go . Sorry , guys , we

18:43

hope you enjoyed this episode . Again , it's just

18:45

food related , it's just

18:47

a restaurant review . We

18:49

hope you enjoyed it . We thank you for tuning

18:52

in and checking us out . Hope

18:54

you come back next week where

18:56

we'll have another great show Just

18:59

great . We'll get something both planned . So

19:02

while you're waiting , I'm going

19:04

to drop a new beat . All right , Jim , before

19:06

we leave . I know you gave your

19:08

quote and we usually finish with that . What

19:11

do you give ? A rating ? From a zero

19:14

to ten .

19:17

I would have to say a

19:20

six , but it's only a six because

19:23

of the price . The price knocks

19:25

it down quite a bit because I'm a cheapskate

19:27

and a lot of people I know are cheapskates . And

19:30

the 6th because the price really

19:32

knocks it down . How about service 0

19:35

to 10 . Service is freaking

19:37

like 9 . Real good

19:39

.

19:39

Cleanliness it's clean .

19:44

I mean it's real clean , Nothing's

19:46

dirty . I didn't get no silverware dirty or nothing and

19:49

you can see through the water . Yes , that's the only

19:51

plus .

19:51

So overall experience , not

19:54

just the food , not just the service

19:56

, the cleanliness , the

19:58

atmosphere . What

20:00

do you got ? Let's say

20:02

, about seven and a half . All right , all

20:05

right , I'll go back up to seven . Okay , all right

20:07

, Seven Again . Guys

20:09

, give it a try .

20:10

Are you still ?

20:11

thinking about it . Oh yeah , yeah , go

20:13

ahead , yeah , don't be afraid of that , Jack .

20:16

Yeah , so it's my time to get out of here . No-transcript
