A Green Bay, WI fixture since 1934, Al's Hamburger Shop suffered a fire over the weekend.  I had actually been thinking about making the drive up there yesterday but wound up not having the time to do so.
 
Hopefully the family will rebuild and reopen.

    That is sad tidings, that place was a true "burger joint".  I went there a few years back while in GB for a conference, we ended up the next getting to go orders so we didnt have to eat the rubber chicken at the conference.
     
    I hope they rebuild, I know it won't be the same, but it was a great burger joint

      We ate there a few years ago while attending a Packers game. Very sad news-fantastic burgers!!

        Looks like there's some good news!  According to some bits 'n' pieces found on the Web (including Al's Facebook page) construction began in late October and is continuing, although I didn't read anything about a tentative reopening date.  I'm sure that when that day comes the local media will thoroughly cover the event.

          ScreamingChicken,
           
          Hop in the SC-Mobile and make that run to Titletown.  Al's Burger Shop has reopened.
           
          You can stop at Lambeau Field while you are there and pay your respects to the greatest franchise in the NFL. And maybe invest in some Green & Gold bling.

            Got that link from a co-worker today...a trip up there might be a possibility if I could hit several places along the way, like Ardy & Ed's in Oshkosh.

              Wow!  That really looks like a great Roadfood type of place.  Wish I had known about it during previous visits to Green Bay.  The big question, are Steelers Fans allowed?
