Mmm...more burgers

A few days ago, I went with Jess and her friend Alex to eat at The Counter in Palo Alto...a place that specializes in letting people order build-your-own burgers. This beauty had juicy beef, sharp provolone, pickles, lettuce, ketchup, bacon and carmelized onions on it. Jess went wild and ordered hers with tzatziki sauce on it...it's a good thing I don't live here because I would truly come every day just to try a different combination of toppings and sauces.

In-N-Out

I'm in sunny California (actually not that sunny today) and one of my first stops was an In-N-Out Burger, which is a quasi non-healthy, delicious mess. When you go to In-N-Out, always order off menu, meaning order it "Animal Style"--means your cheeseburger is then cooked in mustard sauce and topped with lettuce, tomato, secret sauce, pickles, and grilled onions. Sweet! I went all out and had a Double-Double Animal Style, which means all that yumminess but with twice the meat and twice the cheese. I am, after all, still a Midwesterner.
