On my honeymoon the wife and I traveled to Northern Maine cutting in and out of Canada along the way from Fort Kent down to Bar Harbor. Along the way we took in many historical sights and places of natural beauty.
I located Burger Boy on the internet and it was a must stop as I love old school drive in style eateries and Burger Boy is just that. Opened in 1968 with a classic drive in decor and a large menu beyond the realm of just burgers and dogs.
One item in particular stood out to me on the menu and that was something called The Whistler. It's an Old Tyme brand natural casing red hot dog stuffed with America cheese, wrapped in bacon and deep fried served on a toasted New England style stop split bun, yes please!
This was so good! The dog had a snap to it, the bacon crisp, and the cheese was gooey! I had the dog with no addition toppings as well.
I also had a one of their signature cheeseburgers, they grind their own beef almost daily for fresh never frozen hamburger patties. The burger was juicy cooked to perfection, living up to their Burger Boy name.
Kate had a Pizza Burger which is a hamburger topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. We'd never heard of them before but saw them advertised all over the place in the area and curiosity got the better of her.
If we are ever back in the area I will definitely be stopping in for another Whistler!
