Dumas Walker's - Greensburg, KY Flanked by a couple of old Double Cola signs, the words painted about the door read: KY. Head Hunters Original Slawburger Fry & Bottle of "Ski" Grammy Winning Dumas Walker Slaw Burger The story here is a little confusing, but it relates to the 1989 Kentucky Headhunters song Dumas Walker. The video is here: <a href="https://youtu.be/FTBWiUkR69w" rel="noreferrer nofollow">youtu.be/FTBWiUkR69w</a> The Chorus goes: Let’s all go, down to Dumas Walker We’ll get a slaw burger, fries and a bottle of Ski Bring it on out to my baby and me Dumas Walker was a real person and is shown shooting marbles on a pool table in the beginning of the video. In addition to being a champion at marbles, he owned a general store in Moss, TN. The restaurant seen here is a greasy spoon actually named the Adolphus Ennis Lunchroom. Apparently, the band members ate here often and enjoyed the slaw burger and Ski (which is Double Cola's version of Mountain Dew). After the song became a hit, the owners wanted to make sure everyone knew this establishment was the restaurant inspiration for the song. It's located on the Greensburg town square.
