The burger looks a bit overdone, but totally tasty.

@pride49 As long as I am pretty sure of the beef source, i will eat it almost raw.

@Fungirlmmm Madcow is a protein not a bacteria or virus. Heat won't neutralize it 🙁

@Thrust but that was when they started requiring restaurants in the Carolinas to stop serving undercooked burger. :(

I recently watched the first season of the show The Following

Which is a show starring Kevin Bacon about a serial killing cult inspired by Edgar Allen Poe
... what's their imagined link to Poe? I ... don't recall anything about him going to sc. 🤔
@skmokisses I lived a few blocks fro his grave at one time.

@dirge is it in Baltimore? We tried to go to the museum built from his house but the neighborhood was so atrocious we couldn't get out of the car

Babe Ruth's home was a cool museum
@dirge the tavern is a little over a mile from Fort Moultrie, where Poe was stationed when he was in the US Army before he became famous. Poe Avenue and the Edgar Allan Poe / Sullivan's Island branch of the Charleston County Library (itself housed in one of the former coastal defense batteries attached to Fort Moultrie) are also both close to the tavern, both named for Poe's time in this area. His time here in the Charleston vicinity also led Poe to mention the area in "The Gold-Bug" (which is directly set on Sullivan's Island), "The Oblong Box" and "The Balloon-Hoax". Poe's birth mother, who was a touring actress, also performed at the Dock Street Theater on the opposite side of the harbor, in Charleston.

(A few decades after Poe's time there, Fort Moultrie would be one of the locations around the harbor firing upon Fort Sumter, setting the first US civil war in motion.)

Jeez! This place doesn't look like a midnight dreary, where you can ponder weak and weary!🤔
