DennyG Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I visited Chillicothe this weekend primarily to see the outdoor drama Tecumseh but a secondary purpose was trying out Sumburger. The one of a kind restaurant has been in business for 55 years and has operated at this location for 54. It originally offered only in-car and carry-out service and, when inside dining was added, telephones were used to duplicate car-side ordering at each table. I've posted some photos here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the Show on the Road! Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Denny, Thanks! The phoptos are great, and eveyone should go to the Sunburger web site Denny has given. The same staff has been there longer than many folks here have been eating solid food! Keep the Show on the Road! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilene Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Wish I had known about Sumburger the one time I went through Chillicothe! Thanks for sharing. Now I know where to eat next time I'm out that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Now I need to find a good excuse to head out that way. Excuses are plentiful. For starters, there is the Hopewell Culture National Park, the Adena Mansion, the Ross County Historical Center, and the First Capital District. A very popular excuse, and the one I used this time, is the Tecumseh drama. Their season ends next weekend but they'll be back next year. Kids generally enjoy it (It uses more black powder than any other "theater" in the country!) and they may even learn something . Retracing either the Ohio-Erie Canal or Zane's Trace will take you right through Chillicothe. In fact, Sumburger sits right on the modern Zane's Trace route. So does the Chillicothe Inn which I'll recommend for anyone as cheap as I am. $44 (incl. tax) for one guy and it was one of the cleanest and nicest rooms I've seen in that price range. More bodies cost more dollars. I did have the room closest to the office and I know that sometimes that makes a difference. I didn't do a journal for this outing but I did create a composite photo of my room like I often do for trip journals. I've added it to my American Road Forum gallery. The same staff has been there longer than many folks here have been eating solid food! Yep. It's a well run operation. The "hops" - both car and table - that I saw had considerably less "experience" but did their jobs quite well. I watched one or two rather closely just to make sure .
