The Burly Earl
Ate there all the time in the 80’s - back when it was Burly Earl’s, not The Burly Earl.
Originally it was “Dagwood’s”, and it changed names a couple years after it opened either because of legal reasons or they thought “Burly Earl’s” was cuter.
I never thought of it as a dive, but then again, I am not easily swayed from good food because of location. I used to eat at that stand outside of the Elyton Meat Market all the time in the 90’s (the one with the Bear Burger).
