Hoffman gets no respect from Demeris patron

Chronicle columnist Ken Hoffman has a burger named after him at Demeris barbeque.

Ken Hoffman
It's a big, sloppy thing loaded with cheese and bacon, topped with an onion ring.

At one time, another restaurant had this burger named for Hoffman. That restaurant closed. Somehow, Demeris came to have the Hoffy burger.

In today's column, Hoffman tells an amusing story about a guy waiting for food at Demeris who started arguing with Hoffman and crew that the burger is really named for "John Hofheinz."

It's a fun read. Houstonians can be a hoot when they're armed with a few incorrect notions and a full head of steam (hmm, I wonder.... nah, surely James Howard Gibbons knows that the burger is named after his newspaper's columnist; it had to be someone else).
