"4-B's Diner" Lord of the Onion Rings

Now that's an onion ring!

Antique cover to the original menu

 Having left the camp near Glacier National Park, (See previous post "Watermelon Carving and Cookies on my Face" and any other posts with the tab "Glacier") I arrived at a little town called Deer Lodge. Deer Lodge is one of the last places in which a "4-B's" restaurant can be found. Started in 1947 by Bill Hainline, "4-B's" got it's name from his family which comprised of his wife, Barbara, son Bill Jr. and daughter Barbara. Thus we got four 'b's!
 "4-B's" offers fantastic service from its staff plus has some great food on its menu. The 'hero burger', chicken alfredo with salad and the monstrous beef taco. The dish that receives the most attention, however, is the tomato soup for which I managed to acquire a recipe from the web so see below. (It is yet untested in my kitchen but if you happen to sometime give it a go then do let me know how it turns out!)

The monster taco!

 I selected from the menu the Montana ranch hamburger steak with gravy, grilled onions, mash potato, onion rings and garlic toast and boy was I happy to see that turn up in front of me! Man, I love onion rings... But, what really topped off the meal was being allowed to personally thank plus get a photo in the kitchen with the woman behind all the cooking.
