| 释义 |
HistoryAllen's was opened by Allen Saine. Saine later sold the business to Athens businessman Billy Slaughter. Slaughter hired Danny Self to run the business and eventually sold it to Self while keeping the real estate. Allen's got its "World Famous" nickname because of its proximity to the Navy Supply School. The student officers frequented Allen's.[2] They wore Allen's T-shirts in ports all over the world. In 2002, Self died and Slaughter ended up with the business, eventually closing it in 2004 and later demolishing the building. In 2007, two University of Georgia alumni, Mark Hammond and Hilt Moree, III, acquired the rights to Allen's from Slaughter and re-opened it in a new location with much of the original memorabilia, recipes, and live music. It was located on Hawthorne Avenue, across the street from the Athens YMCA location but still on the edge of Normaltown. There were various pieces of local memorabilia framed on the walls.[3] Allen's closed for the final time on November 29, 2011.[4] Notable patrons and employeesZell Miller worked there while attending the University of Georgia before going on to become a Governor and later a U.S. Senator. Notable patrons of Allen's include the late writer Lewis Grizzard, professional wrestler Bill Goldberg, lead guitarist/singer John Bell of Athens band Widespread Panic, R.E.M. lead singer Michael Stipe, residents of the world-famous "Annex" including Doug Callas, Britt Murrill (who also dominated the Cyclone pinball machine), Scott Poole, Chip Zimmerman, and Chris Lee, and The B-52's who namechecked Allen's in their 1989 single "Deadbeat Club": "Going down to Allen's for a 25 cent beer."[5] See also{{portal|Food|Georgia (U.S. state)}}References1. ^{{cite news|title=Allen's Hamburgers announces it's closing|url=http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2011-11-29/allens-hamburgers-announces-its-closing|work=Athens Banner-Herald|date=November 30, 2011|first=Allison|last=Floyd}} 2. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.allensbarandgrill.com/ |title=Allen's |access-date=2018-10-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105102426/http://www.allensbarandgrill.com/ |archive-date=2009-01-05 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 3. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.allensbarandgrill.com/ |title=Allen's World Famous Hamburgers Website |access-date=2018-10-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105102426/http://www.allensbarandgrill.com/ |archive-date=2009-01-05 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 4. ^[https://marieletseat.com/2010/11/24/allens-athens-ga/ Marie, Let's Eat!] 5. ^[https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5848609a59cc6865bb26ddb9/t/58dc081c579fb3ddac6b85d2/1490815006159/athens-music-history-tour.pdf Walking Tour of Athens Music History] External material
