Alf's - Ice Cream, Burgers, and Monkey, McMinnville, Oregon. McMinnville, Oregon Nutritionists say that we've become increasingly isolated from our food. Aside from the occasional lobster tank, we no longer appreciate our appetizers and entrees as something that once was alive. Those experts, however, have probably never dined at some of the places where you can eat animals while watching other animals eat: fish in Illinois, goats in Wisconsin, raccoons in Nebraska -- and a monkey in Oregon.
The monkey hangs out at Alf's, a fast food drive-in built in the early 1950s. When Terrie Rickerd bought the place in 1989, it was known mainly for its milkshakes and char-burgers. Then Terrie saw a newspaper ad for an abandoned capuchin monkey. If this were a Little Rascals episode or a cartoon, the monkey would have gone to work for an organ grinder. "Then I thought, he's all alone, and he can't be all alone," Terrie said. Alf's current monkey-in-residence is named Elvis (his predecessors were Herbie and Maynard). Burgerville. El Gaucho Portland.
