Y is for Yummy
And while we’re at it. . . Brad Pitt eating is rather
yummy.
Cheeseburger: check.
Sweet potato fries: check.
Diet Coke on tap: check. And it came in one of those huge red plastic cups. Score!
This was a very good burger. They boast that their burgers are “homemade” (which is a bit confusing when it comes to a restaurant, but…whatever). It did taste like something I might whip up at home. (Well, not “I” per se, because I’m much too busy blogging and eating and being fabulous to actually “make” anything.)
Also at the table was the “BAT” (bacon, avocado, tomato) sandwich–which looked extremely delightful, and I might have to try next time–and the turkey burger–which I am also rather partial to. It was reported back that both leaned toward the uber-delicious side.
The ambiance was strange, however. It’s a sports bar, yet dark and spooky. Weird.
One down side: the service. Monumentally slow. We couldn’t figure out if they were short-staffed today or if this was a common occurrence. Everyone else in the place seemed not annoyed nor rushed. So, maybe it was just us. The meal was worth the wait, but next time, perhaps I’ll go when I don’t have to watch the clock.

Smashing!
Burgers twice in one week, you ask? Why, yes. When Boss says he wants Smashburger, who am I to argue? Hee-hee.
Frankly, I could eat at Smashburger every day. I never tire of it. I did, however, switch to chicken a few months ago because I was “Smashing” so often. But, never fear: the chicken is insane. This is how I order it: Grilled, whole grain bun, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and chiplotle sauce on the side. This combo is killer. KILLER, I say!
However….for the purpose of this blog, today I went back to the Classic Smashburger (Lovingly pictured here, right before I dove in.). 
Midway through bite number one, I was in taste bud seventh heaven. I’m pretty sure I didn’t stop moaning and mmm-ing for 20 minutes…much to the amusement of Boss and other colleague at the table.

So, what exactly was I doing getting those silly, “healthy” chicken sammies for all those months, those wasted months?? I’ve learned my lesson, I’ll admit it. No more messing around.
Boss got the shredded fried onion ring things–which were very tasty. But I got my usually sweet potato fries. Maybe because I was at Jake’s just yesterday, I was able to compare the spf from the two place. Smashburger kills.
Oh and they have Coke Zero on tap–which is nice for a change sometimes. Sometimes.

Burger Love Heaven
Lunch at Jake’s today. A local chain. Cool atmosphere, good service, scrumptious food. I usually get the Jake’s Special or the turkey burger. Today I settled on a single with Swiss and grilled onions. (NOT pictured here–that’s the Special. Oy.)
What makes Jake’s extra special is the poppy seed bun. Sure, they get between your teeth and are a big, huge mess, but you’re a mess anyway because the burgers are so juicy and delicious.
Additionally, the crinkle cut sweet potato fries are extremely tasty. They can be ordered regular or delightfully sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon—which is what I ordered today.
Jake’s has really good Diet Coke, too. The ice is like Sonic’s. I think that says it all.
