i know what a lot of you reading this must be saying. are you crazy?. that’s a heart attack waiting to happen, etc…

unfortunately i AM a carnivore. i don’t think that will ever change. this does not mean i don’t eat any greens. i do like a little cilantro sprinkled on my roast beef sandwich every now and then.

back to the topic of this post. i came across this sports bar that is absolutely amazing. they actually have proper fries. not the mcdonalds styled regenerated potato fries crap where the fries are thinner than toothpicks. these were nice thick, hand cut fries. the burger pattie was a good inch thick and at least 4 inches in diameter and obviously hand made. i was in burger heaven.

as you can imagine after putting that away i was completely useless untill i could recover my senses again, but it was fully worth it.



Don't be a stranger. Tell me what your think and leave me a comment. Trust me, you'll feel better!

    In that case make a trip ti Texas Panhandle and visit Big Texan. I tried the 36 OZ steak over there as I was not hungry (actually full with junk) to try the free 72 OZ steak. If you can finish it, it is free otherwise it is about $75. I am going back again to try!

    Sigh yes i love the thick fries.
    For the people in Sri Lanka go to Tennessee Fried Chicken in either Excel World or Millennium Park and get their half pounder. Just as you described it.
    but then again nothing beats American Burgers.
