I had no idea, until I saw this Kenny Smith phone photo, that Cheeburger Cheeburger 2.0 had totally revamped the Wall of Fame, which at the Auburn Cheeburger had also meant the Ceiling and Table Tops and Nooks and Crannies and Anywhere Else They Could Think of to Tape a Polaroid of White Hat Conquest Fame. (We could pound some Pounders).
But shuffling through Polaroids (and apparently also non-Polaroids) shiskabobbed to a pegboard? There’s no way Mrs. Hacker would have let that fly. Who has the time (or the hand sanitizer) for that? And I mean, breaking your neck trying to verify the rumor that Aaron Cometbus had not only been to Cheeburger Cheeburger sometime in the mid-90s, but had actually eaten The Pounder, was half the fun of going there (he told me in 2002 that he’d never even been to Auburn, but what does he know – I kept looking).
I guess I haven’t been in a while because this is the first I’ve seen / heard of this travesty. Tell me they still have the Trivial Pursuit cards…
Did you see something AUsome? Weird? Today? Whenever? Take a picture of it? Know someone who did?

Nope, pretty sure those are gone too. So are the rats, when i worked there you got a $20 bonus for killing a rat. shenanigans
Hell, if I worked somewhere that paid you 20 extra bucks for killing a rat, they’d be gone in short order….
Greasiest things ever, but good hangover food, I guess. I watched the AU vs UGA game there one time when I could not find tickets. Took in my minis and kept ordering Cokes. Left with 5 minutes to go and punched the waitress on the way out.
Mrs. Hacker taught at my high school. I learned more about myself in her restaurant than in her classroom though. Just kidding, I was never in her specific class and I also did not learn anything about myself in her restaurant.
Doug — I’m Mrs. Hacker’s biggest fan. English, newspaper, Hacker forever. And hey, go Rebs…
Cheeburger was good enough…. but how many of you go back to when it was “The Railing”? I worked there back in the late 80s. Many good memories. All the sorority girls would come in after their chapter meetings. The place was wall to wall bow-heads in Laura Ashley dresses…. and I was in heaven. 😉 From there I went to work at “Legends” and then finished out my Auburn restaurant career at Niffer’s. All good times.
