Never thought I'd see the White Spot featured on "A Hamburger Today." The Gusburger will always be etched in my memory as the go-to meal for post-fraternity party nights (early mornings) at UVa. I'm not sure I've ever been in the Spot during daylight hours.

My parents lived in Northern Ireland in the mid 80s and one of their neighbors made their own sloe gin, the drinking of which I remember as being a wonderful and unique experience. Years later, with remembrance still in my head, I ordered a Sloe Gin Fizz in a bar in Boston and was very disappointed with the taste. I figured I had just remembered it being better than it was or that the home-made brew was different than true sloe gin. I'm pleased to see that there may be a more commercial reason for the difference and will keep an eager eye out for the Plymouth brand in the future.
