wradding

Sorry for the necropost, but I was reading an article today about old fashioned hamburger joints, and it got me to thinking about the Toddle House on Shepherd in Montrose. My 50-year-old memory of this place was a little metal diner that looked basically like an old Airstream RV. I suppose it could have been a tiny building, but that's not my memory. I don't remember any tables; certainly I always sat at the counter right across from the griddle. Their hamburgers were what we would now call sliders, but I didn't know that term until decades later. They would grill the onions on the griddle and then mash the balls of ground beef into them. When the little burgers were done, they went on square dinner rolls still stuck together - 2 or 3 to an order. Does this match anyone else's memory, or is it something from a sweet dream from long ago? Thanks
