This is the Moonshine Store in Moonshine, Ill. Clark County is laid out on a grid and is nearly impossible to get lost in even for me who could get lost in a paper sack. It is in the middle of cornfields at the intersection of 300 Road and 600 Street. And bar none has the BEST cheeseburger I have ever eaten in all of my 42 years, and I've eaten quite a few!
You probably can't tell it but the sign on the right front of the porch says "Moonshine, Population 2". It looks like something out of the Walton's and that's part of it's appeal. I drove 20 miles out of the way to get there for that burger and I'd do it again in a skinny minute! Be aware though, it's only open a few hours a day. The grill shuts off at 12:30 and the store closes at 1:00 pm and they mean it! I watched one gentlemen walk in and then quickly out at about 12:40 checking his watch and empty handed. Having just consumed the best bacon cheeseburger in my life I could appreciate his disappointment!
