I don't care whether you actually need to go or not -- just pop your head in the restroom the next time you're at Joe's Farm Grill in Gilbert. Yes, more people checking out the loo at this idyllic Agritopia retro burger spot will make the line longer for the folks who really do need to use the facilities, but this is a particularly noteworthy one.
New Times has been raving about the kooky Barbie- and GI Joe-themed facilities at Joe's Farm Grill since the place opened about four years ago, and now the folks behind America's Best Restroom IX are onto them as well. Visit the contest's website by August 31 and rank your favorites from a list of ten finalists nationwide.
