Le Tub Saloon
Big burgers and big celebs

It’s easy to miss Le Tub. There’s no sign out front, and you would drive right by if you didn’t know to look for the old bathtubs and toilets being used as tree planters. But the Hollywood restaurant — which used to be a Sunoco gas station — doesn’t need a sign to be famous.

 “Jason Taylor is just sitting over there,” says Andre Boisclair, the one-and-only burger cook, pointing out the Miami Dolphins defensive end while smoking a cigarette on the deck.

“We were voted ‘Best Burgers’ in GQ next to Morton’s Steakhouse in New York, so people got the impression that we were a posh place,” manager Greg Fraba explains. “Girls were coming in and getting their heels stuck in the wood floor.”

For $11, you get a 14-ounce burger. Be patient, though. These big burgers take at least 40 minutes to cook, and they often make up to 300 for a Sunday lunch alone.

Blue Anchor
Get drunk, hear noises

The Blue Anchor in downtown Delray Beach came straight from England. The 145-year-old walls and stained glass were shipped from London’s Chancery Lane in 1988.

Beyond the beer and walls, a couple ghosts were also imported. Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddows spent their last night at Blue Anchor in the 1800s before some dude called Jack the Ripper hacked them up.

The dark wooden interior is usually filled with older folks in the early hours of the night, so hit up the pub after 11 p.m., when the cooler people — you know, college students — are out.
