In paradise the cheeseburgers are square and well done, but they still taste good. Key lime pie's all gone too, but the flan is homemade, and very good. Paradise has lost its lease too, but it'll be finding a new location.

What I'm trying to say is that the Dennis Pharmacy Lunch Counter's cheeseburger was Jimmy Buffet's muse for Cheeseburger in Paradise. Buffet hung out there during his formative, on-a-budget years.
