“I never eat hamburgers,” says
Searcy Bond, the owner of Dead
Solid Perfect (DSP), a hamburger
restaurant on 102 Church St.in Col
lege Station.
“It’s enough just to cook them all
day and night.
DSP serves only two-thirds
pound hamburgers and cheesebur
gers in an old building located be
hind Handy-Burger.
“It used to be a house and then it
was remodeled into a small restaur
ant,” Bond says. He says that when
he opened DSP on Feb. 5, 1976, he
did nothing to the building but
started cooking.
DSP has no decorations and con
tains only the bare essentials for eat
ing. It consists mainly of nine tables
covered with red and white chec
kered gingham tablecloths and
green plastic chairs.
Bond said he will not remodel

DSP, but he is planning to use an
extra outdoor room for five more ta
bles. He said the room will be ready
Sept. 10 for the opening of football
season.
“I used to have ‘Sports Illus
trated around for people, but I cut
that out,” Bond said. “There’s still a
pinball machine and foosball table.
They don’t come to read.”
Bond said he still buys “Sports Il
lustrated” to read Dan Jenkins’ arti
cles. He says'he named DSP after a
book by Jenkins called “Dead Solid
Perfect. The book is about a golfer
attempting the “dead solid perfect’
shot.
“I wanted something different for
my restaurant,” Bond said. “I saw
that book on the coffee table and
thought about it. After people learn
that name they won’t forget it.”
Bond said he attended Stephen
F. Austin College for three years
and returned home wanting to open
a restaurant. “I got the idea from a
place in Dallas called Adair’s,” he
said. “They have more room than
we do, but they serve hamburgers,
too.
