Do they still have restaurants at livestock sales ? I haven't been to one since I was a kid but I remember they filled the place with the aroma of fresh beef on the grill.

As a kid, I worked at the Mandan Kist Stockyard Cafe, ran by my step-dad. Was a do-all employee with dish-washing & grill cooking duties.
Those flat-top burgers and steaks were beyond good!

A seasoned flat top grill, cooks up the best Steak and burgers. Way better than a open grill. The flat top cooks the meat in its own juices and fat. With a open grill it gets burnt and drips away.

There were two blonde haired ladies who looked like sisters in the diner. The hamburgers were the best.

Couldn't agree more, the old bowling alley where I grew up did burgers this way and toasted the buns. The hi-ho in fargo comes close.
Some of the best places to get a great burger today remain in the almost ghost town bars and/or cafe's.
Jlbeers burgers are up there as well but the sardine can construction/atmosphere was not very intelligent.

I agree regarding burgers. I’d rather have steaks on a grill, gas or charcoal, but not brandy-shiny new and clean. Grills need seasoned too.

I agree on burgers. Had a burger at Sickies the other day that took me back to Foster County Fair...(circa 1982) bunch of church groups cooking in an open building, fly strips covered with flies, flat top burgers that were excellent...
