Theres a hole in the wall joint called Lupie’s that has an amazing half-pound Chile-Slaw Burger. Lupies is a cool place – lots of eccentrics and everything is home made and nothing is fried.

The Lunch Encounter 
I love Lupie’s! They have the best chili-slaw burgers! If your not in the mood for the burger then the hot dogs are great too. The Slaw dogs are my fav on the days that I’m not up for the buger. For dessert they also have the best banana pudding. If you haven’t eaten here you have to try it.
