Weird? The Varsity?

Do you consider weird?

President Barack Obama, who visited the classic Midtown burger/chili dog joint  last month, joined former commander in chiefs Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton in having been drawn to the restuarant.

But is the world’s largest drive-in located at 61 North Avenue weird? CNBC apparently thinks so as it included The Varsity among its list of America’s 20 Weirdest Restaurants. Wrote CNBC:

Carhops at the world’s largest drive-in (including a young Nipsy Russell) have been greeting customers at their car windows with “What’ll ya have?” since 1928. The Varsity is pure 20th-century Americana, and the menu remains classic drive-in, not straying far from burgers, dogs, fries, colas and shakes, and their famous fried pies. A few things have changed: There are five locations, and today’s original Varsity in the Downtown location reigns over two acres, accommodating 600 cars and 800 people inside—the better to serve the 30,000 Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket fans who visit each game day.

The full list can be viewed here and includes eateries where meals are served by would-be aliens and ninjas in diverse locales such as a cave, a floating island and in bed.

But is The Varsity weird? Well, the singing and dancing by carhops in the line of duty is rather entertaining. But weird?
