Crusade to save Kincaid's

You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind and you DON"T mess with a beloved Fort Worth burger joint. At least that's what we learned after we had lunch Thursday with several loyal Kincaid's customers who are upset that the Camp Bowie institution may be forced to vacate by the end of July. Hear what customers had to say in my video blog:

Watch through the end to hear details about what O.R. Gentry did to turn the business into what it is today.

As the Star-T's Barry Shlachter reported, Kincaid's is "locked in a dispute with a new landlord seeking to triple the rent." Read his story and cast your vote for which restaurant makes the best hamburgers here.

Bonus tidbit: When asked where he goes for a burger if he's not eating one of his own, Kincaid's co-owner Ron Gentry first mentioned Fred's Texas Cafe and Tommy's, but says he's likes to try them all and to learn from his competitors.

Great post and video, Kristin. I had my first Kincaid's burger in 1976, standing up in front of the laundry detergent shelves. If the building owner stands firm, I think the Gentrys should find another location. After all, it is the good food and sense of community that attracts folks and creates an atmosphere, not a pile of bricks or cinder blocks.
