The "Y" is best for burgers
RUSSELL HUFFMAN
J-TAC Sports Editor
Suggesting to a friend that they
go eat at the "Y" can bring a
various number of responses,
from having your face slapped to
sharing a laugh together. But in
Stephenville, Sherry and Bill
Bullard have added a whole new
dimension to the local "Y",
The "Y" cafe is the newest
Texas-style hamburger joint in
town and while they offer some
of the things that McDonald's and
Burger King have, they also have
added pleasures like a 12-oz. cat-
fish basket, steakfingers,...well,
you get the idea.
The cafe gets its unusual name
because of its location along
highways 281 and 377. It is sur-
rounded by highway from all
sides and is in the middle of a
i*Y **
% While it is a small establish-
ment (only four booths), the cafe
building itself is unusual. A
customer was overheard stating,
"It was just a year ago that I had
my muffler fixed (here) and now
I'm eating a hamburger." The
building in the last few years has
seen use as a gas station, muffler
shop, and briefly, a fruit stand.
The Bullards, who had
previously owned a restaurant in
Chico, plan to keep the businessfcs
as. it is — nice and small — or
quaint and country, if you prefer.
They also plan to allow their
11-year-old Jimmy get a hand in
the business when he gets older.
The "Y" cafe offers the best
hamburger in Stephenville with a
regular burger totaling $1.19 and ,
a double cheese burger ringing in
at $1.95. These burgers make the
Big Mac look like a midget and
the Bullards don't start cooking
until you get there.
When questioning a customer
about the food at the "Y," we
didn't get much of a reply, just
a mumble over a mouth stuffed
with hamburger about good cof-
fee and good hamburgers.
