Okay, this is an exciting day, because it’s the last Scott Turley Road Trip of 2024! I can’t believe this year is almost over, but what are you going to do? I know what I’m going to do, eat and drink! And not necessarily in that order!
Today we’re headed over to The Office…hey,, someone’s at the door, let’s see who it is…
Steve Carell, no not that Office, that’s been off the air since 2013. I’m talking about the Office On Main in Morton. Go on and audition somewhere for a movie role, or whatever it is you’re doing these days!
Whoops, there’s the door again, let’s see if this is the guy to take us away from all of this…
Yes! There he is, MBIP Pal and Wheelman, Scott Turley. Sadly, his trademark t-shirt is all covered up. Okay, let’s hit the road for the last time in 2024!
On the road again!
Here we are headed to Morton and there’s Scott behind the wheel guiding us there with the greatest of ease!
That was a quick trip and here we are at The Office On Main in Morton, Illinois.
As always, Scott leads the way inside!
It’s nice and cozy in here and I love the lights hanging down from the ceiling. Nice and sparkly!
If you look closely, you can see that Scott has already settled in at the bar, let’s go join him!
Right after I grabbed a seat, Tater Tot brought me over a beer while flashing a beautiful smile! We’re off to a fantastic start!
There’s Scott enjoying his first beer of the afternoon.
We placed our food order and there’s Tater Tot entering it in. Okay, let’s take a look around in here and get some photos!
The Office was established all the way back in 1968 and it’s been a functioning tavern since 1946.
Some of the daily specials are listed on the side of this napkin holder and there’s the nice selection of beers on tap.
There’s a golf game in the corner and I ran into Lucas in my travels. Lucas works here in the kitchen creating some of the wonderful dishes in here and said he’s enjoying his time working here. Great to see him, as always!
There’s another shot of the bar and there’s tables opposite of it for your dining and drinking pleasure!
There’s another sign featuring the specials in here and I took a shot of the place from the back of the room just because I can!
Meanwhile, back at the bar…
Our dinner has arrived!
We each got their famous Smashburger dinner with their homecut French fries. Scott got a single burger with everything except cheese.
And there he is, diving into the burger with his patent-pending Turley Bite! That was an impressive bite, I think he took out half the burger in that one bite!
I got a single Smashburger with cheese and it looks absolutely fabulous!
I love the buttered and toasted bun, okay let’s dig in and try it out!
Wow, that is the best Smashburger I’ve ever had! The burger is savory and the melted cheese compliments it well and the toasted buttered bun houses it nicely.
Their housemade Smash Sauce takes it over the top. What a fantastic Smashburger!
And the French fries were fantastic. Crisp, tasty and delightful!
What a fantastic meal!
It was soon reduced to this empty plate!
Thanks to Tater Tot, Lucas and everyone at The Office On Main for the pleasant hospitality and delicious food!
And thanks to MGIP Pal and Wheelman, Scott for driving and hanging out for the day. See you for another road trip in 2025!
