Travis "c-5 burger"

OK, is there such a thing as a "C-5" burger served at Travis AFB?

Back a few years, when there was a terminal cafeteria, there was indeed a
(1/2 lb?) C-5 burger. Also a smaller C-141 sandwich.
Unfortunately, the cafeteria is gone and with it the specialized burgers. I
believe the tiny AAFES snack bar that replaced it has just the standard
"hamburger."

Totally off topic:
I'm heading to a Taxi location in downtown Palo Alto
(or one of their other locations) for a Mushroom Swiss Burger
and a side of Onion Rings. Usually add a Mug Root Beer.
What ever happened to Kirks?

Speaking of AAFES burgers...

I remember the bowling alley at Misawa AB in Japan used to sell a "Bowl
Burger". Don't know which was better, the huge amount of meat and fixings
that came with it or the Swedish dependant wife that worked the counter.
Yum.

The SSPF Cafeteria at KSC makes a pretty damn good patty melt. Avoid the
O&C caferteria though. I think their grease dates back to the Apollo
missions!

Mmmmm, udders ...

Well damn, though I doubt I could get on base to eat one. A local talk
show host did a thing on the best burgers, and a guy called up about
the C-5 burger. He described it as a full pound, which seems hard to
believe, but then again a C-5 is pretty big. I guess there must be a
AN124 burger that is the full pound.

Ahh, the An-225 one and a half pounder complete with a plate of chips on
top.

I've been to the Kirks in Palo Alto many years ago. I think it was on
California. I've also been to the one in Lost Altos about two years
ago.

As I remember the C-5 burger was also served on jacks.
