Might have to go up there this weekend.Jimmy Buffett's famous song comes to life with Cheeseburger in Paradise. It's as far away from the real world as you can get in a restaurant. As soon as you step in the door, you're reminded of swaying palm trees, sea adventures, and beautiful beaches. The structure itself is done in the Key West style, and even the flooring reminds you of a sandy beach with shells and beach towels from exotic locations. Musical memorabilia and nautical sports paraphernalia are scattered throughout the restaurant, plus fun touches like surfboard benches and a hammock for a hostess stand. And then there's the food.
Beyond the famed signature cheeseburger, there's an incredible selection of American and island favorites, as well as fun food choices like cool island salads and chocolate nachos. The expansive Tiki Bar serves up frozen concoctions, as well as cold draft beer. A late night menu, live entertainnment, and special events like Full Moon Parties and Sunset Celebrations make the picture complete. Wave goodbye to the real world, and pull up a chair in paradise.
Man...I hope it's true that this place is coming to Wildewood!!!!

Cheeseburger in Paradise is owned by Outback Steakhouse. Jimmy Buffet is involved, and often comes to the openings. This year, they're opening one in Waldorf and one down here, but I heard they're leaning toward a location in San Souci. Outback doesn't do lunch, so being in Wildewood doesn't hurt them being further from the Base. But Cheeseburger will do great where ever they go--I've been to the one in Fredrecksburg a few times and it's great.
I have a question: when you get government cheese, what kind of cheese is it? Like, is it American? Cheddar? Provolone?nomoney said:
and some other things.
over lunch, they were going to move into the Ground Round building, but the county had a parking issue with it, so they looked at a few other sites and settled for a space in La Plata.... Of course this is all lunch time

I love Buffett, but my favorite's have never gotten air time.
Steamer
I remember that steamer
The time you set sail
The crowd was steamin', streamin' and leanin' on the rail
Then the big whistle blew
And I lost my place
Next thing I knew
I could not find your face
I can see myself dramin'
The time you came home
Your face was beamin', seemin'
To stand out alone
The dinner bell chimed
And I found my seat
When your eyes met mine
Your smile was so sweet
I remember that river
First time we made love
Oh I still kinda shiver a little
At what I'm thinkin' of
How your dress it just floated
All down around your knees
And I held my breath my God, my girl
But most of all it's that steamer
The time you set sail
And the crowds always steamin', streamin' and
Leanin' on the rail
Then the big whistle blows
And I always lose my place
Next thing I know
I cannot find your face
CALIFORNIA PROMISES
Beneath the moonlit sky
Shadows walk beside the water
Sad goodbyes whispered on the shore
Hear those wind chimes play
They serenade the shadow lovers
Sing and fade away
Like California promises
I will never love another
Wait for me 'til I return
But she never will
He waits for her beside the water
Faithful still to California promises.
Island I see you in the distance
I feel that your existence
Is not unlike my own
Island they say no man is like you
They say you stand alone
Sometimes I feel that way too
Is it the need for love?
Heart and soul accompaniment
That seems to make me different from you
I've tried to build bridges
But they all fell down
I've taken to the air on wings of silver
But always hit the ground
Island I see you in all of my dreams
But I'm a man with no means to reach your distant shore
Island I see you in the moonlight
Silhouettes of ships in the night
Just make me long that much more
To be like you
Heart and soul accompaniment
That seems to make me different from you
I've tried to build bridges
But they all fell down
I've taken to the air on wings of silver
But always hit the ground
SENDING THE OLD MAN HOME
They're sending the old man home
Back where the buffalo roam
Out in Pacific they say he was the best
Now he's in his "civies" headin' home like all the rest
He'll never forget Rosa Lee
Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea
He'll only have the memories
Or great books by James Jones
`Cause they're sending the old man home
Far away
Far away
Another life so very far away
They'll tear down the officers clubs
And write off the overdue subs
So let's drink to their memories
Our heros and our pals
To those crazy navy flyers
To those swell Hawaiian gals
The sailors will dance in the street
Then they'll mothball the whole damn fleet
We'll only have the picture books
Of land and sea and foam
`Cause they're sending the old man home
He'll only have his memories
Or great books by James Jones
`Cause they're sending the old man home
STARS FELL ON ALABAMA
Moonlight and magnolia, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there
Was I really there with you
Chorus
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And the stars fell on Alabama last night
I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And the stars fell on Alabama last night
Never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy tale where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And the stars fell on Alabama last night
ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA
I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Get you and keep you
In my arms ever more
Leave all your lovers
Weepin' on a far away shore
Out on the briny
With the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
Homey I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All by myself alone
I'd love to get ya
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
A twist in the rudder
And a rip in the sails
Drifting and dreamin'
Honey throw the compass over the rail
Out on the ocean
Far from all the commotion
Melting your heart of stone
Honey I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone.
TIN CUP CHALICE
I want to go back to the island,
Where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'.
Give me oysters and beer for dinner ev'ry day of the year,
And I'll feel fine, I'll feel fine.
Chorus:
'Cause I want to be there,
I want to go back down and lie beside the sea there.
With a tin cup for a chalice
Fill it up with good red wine,
And I'm-a chewin' on a honeysuckle vine.
Yeah, now the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water;
Sailboats, they go searchin' for the breeze.
Salt air it ain't thin,
It can stick right to your skin,
And make you feel fine.
It makes you feel fine.
Repeat Chorus.
Yes, and now you heard my strange proposal;
Get that pack gear on and let's move.
I want to be there before the day
Tries to steal away and leave us behind;
I've made up my mind
STARS ON THE WATER
Down in Louisiana bayous by and by
Perogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
Beer joint lights come on
And then the crowd starts rollin' in
Chorus:
(Pretty soon you got) stars on the water
(Just like) stars on the water
You got stars on the water, let it rain
Pole mine to Biloxi
Sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shores
The "Blue Light" lounge is shinin'
Way out on the view
Chorus:
(It looks just like) stars on the water
(Just like) stars on the water
Looks like stars on the water, let it rain
When it's midnight down in Mobile
Shinin' moonbeams on the bay
They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down
And dig the good time sounds they all play
And all across the harbour
Night lights shinin' in
Chorus:
(It looks just like) stars on the water
(Just like) stars on the water
(Feels like) stars on the water, let it rain
