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.

Kansas City Beef

I went to visit Mama D in Kansas City over the weekend. Knowing my obsession for cheeseburgers, she made a smart choice and took me to lunch at J Alexander's, a local restaurant that has delicious well-done fare as well as one of the best burgers in town. Other than wanting to slather ketchup all over it (perhaps a second obsession), I enjoyed it thoroughly. You can see below just how much I enjoyed it...just call me a member of the clean plate club.

Friday Means Fries Day

Or it could mean Cheeseburger-and-fries Day. Some co-workers and I headed down to Northpoint Custard near Bradford Beach to partake of some lunchtime deliciousness. It's a true blue Milwaukee place, owned by Bartolotta's restaurants and catering to the burger and custard crowd. All the benches and picnic tables are painted like black and white spotted dairy cows, and named accordingly. Today, we enjoyed our grub while sitting on Dixie, one of the picnic tables.

I like that we eat hamburger while sitting on tables named after cows. Seems either really mean, or really fitting. Or both.

In Search of a Tasty Lunch

Sometimes you just need a cheeseburger. I work within walking distance of more than one fancy cheeseburger place, and I've decided I need to try them all. This one is from a place called Patty Burger, and while it was no NYC Good Burger, it more than did the trick.
