Burgers, burgers everywhere, but nary a patty to prize.
So many new burger joints have popped up within 2 miles of busy Route 35 near my home, I could literally walk up one side of the highway, then back down the other side and stop at six places to choose among sliders, half-pounders, double-stacks, juniors, Black Angus, Kobe, grilled, barbecued, pan-fried, or pizza-style, with every possible cheese, bacon, chili, sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, onions, and pickles.
And that’s just the beef patties. How about burgers made from portobellos, veggies, soy, turkey or chicken?
Then there are the sides. French fries, sweet potato fries, mashed sweet potatoes, mac ‘n cheese, mozzarella sticks, cole slaw, potato salad. Don’t worry, I won’t bore you with the condiments.
