IMHO my restaurant serves as good a burger as any place in the Country, !/2 lb, hand pattied, locally raised, slaughtered, and processed [Norman Shriver Meats], hand cut twice fried, french fries, toasted Sesame seeded 5″ roll, all the toppings,….problem is I’m about 55 miles from I95, near the Pa. Md. line!

If the OP is seriously considering detouring to Frederick County for a burger, my advice would be to save $3 and 30 minutes and get one just as good at Black Hog in Frederick rather than driving all the way to Emmitsburg.  Kind of a stretch to put Chubby’s in this thread.

NO, it was suggested but to much of a detour. The one place I am going to try (unless otherwise told) is B & D in savannah,GA were staying there overnight and heard about this place. All the other suggestions are along the driving part of the trip, going to FLA and back to phila.
Someone also mentioned roast beef in MD chaps? any good?

Thanks again for all the responses they are mighty helpful.
