    Charles Kuralt was apparently happily married and after his death, it was discovered that his mistress for many years lived in a neat cabin in a western state which belonged to Kuralt. It was a news item for a while after his death. I think she eventually got to keep the property. She had apparently been his mistress for many years.

    I watched that program too. I WANTED one of those burgers.

    I liked when the lady said "If you’re in here after the door is locked, your cleanin up!"

    I always looked forward to Sunday morning with Charles Kuralt. I wanted to go to every place he showed.

    He also had a very secret life.

    Ditto the thanks to silverspork.

    tiki, Charles Kuralt was one of my early "inspirations". I rarely missed the show when he hosted it. I’ve grown to accept Osgood in recent years, but I just related much more to Kuralt’s "Spirit".

    I saw that. I liked the whole show, but the segment on Moonshine, Illinios was great!! I’ve GOT to eat there!

    I, um, "found" this link that tells about this place:

    I just watched a segment of CBS Sunday Morning with
    Charles Osgood. They went to the decidedly small,
    rural "town" of Moonshine, Illinois to profile the
    Moon Burger. Made by one of the 2 official residents
    of the town (actually a grocery), they are apparently
    quite the tradition. They showed people coming in and
    ordering 15 burgers at a time. You can get hamburgers
    and/or cheeseburgers. You add your own mustard and ketchup.
    The stove is only hot until 12:30 P.M. and then the
    cook locks up-no exceptions.

    The grocery is a real gathering place and the social
    aspect is as important as the cuisine.
