I was in McLean Va this week, so for supper Tuesday I went to "Clyde's" on the
Leesburg Pike just west of Tyson's Corner.  Some of the interior appeared in a
movie(I forget which).  It was certainly lavishly enough appointed:  They had
a crystal mint bowl, gold-plated men's room faucets and urinal handles, and
twenty-foot tall potted palms in the dining room.  They seated me in the
relatively small non-smoking dining room. 

They were Southern enough to serve iced team, but not enough to serve it
pre-sweetened. . They quickly brought the cup of hot water I requested to make
saturated sugar solution.

My rare hamburger arrived on a Kaiser bun. It was hot,juicy, and rare.  It
tasted charcoal-broiled; it was over an inch thick(without the bin).   I
enjoyed it so much I skipped dessert. 

In NC this delightful meal would be criminal.  Isn't that just silly?
