The "Double Good"

I have been looking for a recipe for a sandwich that I used to eat when I was a kid. To my knowledge the sandwich was never produced outside of the city of Meridian, MS. When I was a kid the place to get it was on the Frontage Rd across from the power station. There was a Shell station that had a snack bar that catered to truckers and folks. The man who ran it made a sandwich called the "Double Good". Now, as far as I can remember it was like a Chicken Fried Hamburger with cheese. A real artery stopper.
Long story short, the place closed down and in all my subsequent visits to Meridian over the decades no-one has offered the sandwich. I did run into a lady who ran a now defunct buffet who said she knew how to make them but she didn't have one on her menu so I took that with a chunk of salt. Anyone out there ever runa cross this one?

Haven't run across one, but I would love to. That sounds good. Is "chicken fried hamburger" like chicken fried steak made with ground beef? Do you remember what else was on it?

I agree. That sounds really good. I'd be curious as well what additional condiments were on it.

All I ever remember them being served with was cheese and mayo, maybe the ocassional limp leaf of lettuce. A real artery clogger of a sandwich but worth every bite. Real old fashioned trucker food. I made some inquiries and there was a restaurant, The Red Hot in a Frontage road hotel that purported to sell them...of course after trying to call them the phone's disconnected, so I will hazard a guess that they're out of business.
Guess, I'll have to take out an ad in their paper!

It's becoming a quest now!

Hey Root-Beer Man
I grew up in Meridian and ate at least 100,000 Doublegoods, I think they originate at the Lamp Post Rest. on the frontage road or Gibson's drive in on C Street. Man...they were GREAT!!!!! If you find out how to make them...let me know. jimlong@cmaaccess.com

I googled and came up with this - not sure if there is any worthwhile info here but take a look...
