So, if you're ever down in Memphis, look up Dyer's burgers. I have only one piece of information about the joint, and that's their claim that, since opening in 1912, they've not once dumped the oil in which they deep fry their patties.

This system of legacy oil must satisfy the Memphis Health Dept, and the blurb I read online said they're technically using the same oil as in 1912. Maybe there's a molecule or so left suspended in the vat, but it puts me in mind of the guy who said he owns George Washington's original old hatchet from the "George chopped down a cherry tree" myth.
The guy will show you that hatchet and add, "Well, course, times were bad. Came a day the handle broke off, so we went to Ace and replaced it, and after while, the head got worn down from too much honing, so that's new, but this is old George's hatchet, doggone it!"
And who will say him nay?
