Hi SacRVators:
I thought I'd start this thread out by telling you about one of my favorite "hundred dollar hamburgers" (hdh). From now on lets refer to going for a flight for lunch or a meal as an hdh. This thread could be a collective of comments from those of us who routinely fly out with other SacRVators. It could be a collection of that favorite story that lead you to a great meal or place. Whatever...... Where did we go, how was it, anything aviation or gastronomic will do.
A memorable hdh was years ago when I rented an RG172 from the Flying Farmers at Davis. A longstanding member of that click, I enjoyed the rental prospect of flying. My wife and I decided to fly-up to Roseburg Oregon to pay a visit to my friend Rudy and his wife Elizabeth. Rudy is an old highschool budy, Vietnam buddy and professional buddy. We have shared a great deal over about 45 or so years (WOW). I aspired to build a Lancair IVP aircraft so half of the trip was to pickup Rudy and his son, leave Ronni (my wife) with Elizabeth and fly to Redmond Oregon to test fly the Lancair. The flight was perfect, overcast weather along the way but negotiable. Over Three Sisters Range I completely lost my way and had to ask to be vectored to Redmond, that is another story. We flew the Lanciar, way behind the Lancair by the way. The Lancair company pilot, Dave Morss (yes that one) gave us a great intro flight, way over my head......... When we returned to Roseburg we enjoyed a great meal at a neat place called Rodeo Steak House and Grill. Peanut shells on the floor and real cardiac active food. Since then Ronni and I have returned to Roseburg many times. They have a bunch of restaurants close to the airport. Most of the time the FBO can arrange a ride as well. A bit longer trip than we take on Saturdays but with an early start, it is a nice ride. Other Restaurants that I liked at Roseburg are, Elmer's (Breakfast) and Kt Thai (Vietnamese & Thai). How about you.....
