Thurvana (or, the Thurman Cafe)

The Thurman Cafe

At the heart of German Village in Columbus, OH, you’ll find this little gem of an eatery nested beneath a nondescript canopy. The only thing unusual on this otherwise quiet street is that it always seems to be crammed full of cars.

Visit it and you’ll find a menu stocked full of large hamburgers, topped with a variety of toppings as numerous (almost) as the stars. Visiting the cafe is something of a rite of initiation for the Columbus office here at dT.

I encourage you to give it a try: just a warning, though, the double Thurman – dubbed the Thurmanator – is not for the faint of heart. Ah, one last thing – watch for our tribute site – http://www.thurmanburger.com/ – in the near future.
