I didn't really notice until my girlfriend said something, but it's totally true: We, being from Southern California, are used to having a burger joint, a greasy hole in the wall, everywhere you go. If you go to the bank, there might be a little burger stand inside. When you wash your car, reach your hand through the window and hot wax and grab a beefy little snack. \n\nIn Phoenix, not so much. There ARE burger places, but most often, they're a chain: In N Out, Five Guys, Smash Burger, Fat Burger, Whataburger, etc.... and while they all vary from being pretty damn good to at least not embarrassing, it's just not the same as going to some little hidden gem, tucked between two buildings. You have great, gourmet places like Fez, but, like I said, it's not the same.\n\nTo be honest, it's something that you really start to miss about \"home\" even though it hasn't been home for you in a long, long time.\n\nI've ridden past the Chuck Box quite literally, hundreds of times. It's right on my way home from work tucked somewhere into my peripheral vision and had been ignored by my brain for YEARS. It wasn't until my sister recommend we pop in before a movie that I even knew it was there. I'd seen the sign, but my brain never connected the dots.\n\nThis place does help to fill that void. Not 100% but the burgers were really, really good and I love the set-up to actually see your burger get made. Then you add your own garnishes with their floating island thing. The price ain't too bad and the decor inside is warm and cozy.\n\nIn fact, I plan on hitting it up tonight.
