Let's see. You walk in, and grab some uncovered peanuts out of a large box. Wait in line, order a burger. The thing is saturated in peanut oil and cooked on a greasy grill that must never gets cleaned. All the ingredients you get on the burger are also cooked in the oil on a Model T-esque assembly line. When you get it, the oil has penetrated the tin foil it's wrapped in (or just leaked out the edges) and saturated the brown paper lunch bag it comes in. You take a bite. The buns are greasy too. Finish it off, you feel sick (of course you do, it's peanut oil with a side of burger), and have to go to the bathroom to wash off the film of grease from your face. Sit back down, pop a Tums, and realize, oops, you forgot to eat the fries sitting in the bottom of your bag. They taste disgusting, yet you still eat them, because it is novel that the whiteboard says they came from Minidoka, Idaho.
I mean come on. That's disgusting. Why would anyone subject themselves to that garbage?
For those in the Boston area, go to RF O'Sullivans in Somerville for the best burger in the world. The burgers are properly stored, seasoned, prepared, cooked, and served. Or, since this is New Hampshire and we're all outdoor folk not afraid of the wilderness, we should be in the back yard with a spatula, charring some patties over a charcoal grill.  |
Disgusting...really? A little strong. Maybe it's not your type of place...that's fine. Don't go again.
But there are some people around who still enjoy old fashioned, not good for you, pre-politcally correct, pre- heart healthy, greasy spoon type food once in a while.
As I stated in an earlier post...they certainly do not serve fancy, gourmet style, juicy burgers. They are more like the ones your "Fat Uncle Joe" would cook out in the back yard on his charcoal grille in the 70's.
And what's wrong with one of those from time to time? So, you had to go and wash your hands when you were thru....ooohhhh, the horror!
