The End-All Burger

I've been getting a lot of mixed review surrounding this questionable burger joint. Some say that the food served on its menu is pure genius and reflects contemporary tastes. Many agree that their burgers are, "A work of art. A masterpiece of burger construction." While on the other hand others feel that these over-dressed burgers take away from the pure taste that is so fondly recognized in angus beef. But why reflect on what other people think? I decided to look into this burger joint myself.

It was lunchtime and I expected the place to be packed but by no means was I prepared for such a staggering line of people (burger enthusiasts I presumed) that it pushed its way almost out the front door.

The decor was cheap yet strangely effective and people huddled around tables as this is an eat-in/eat-out restaurant. Being at the back of an immense line I had time to contemplate my plan of attack.

Aside from burgers the menu offered a wide range of sandwiches ranging from fish to chicken. I also noted that they served milkshakes so I knew that I had to order one of those. The fries. I've heard legends about this place's fries. Sung in epic prose by critics in much higher places I was practically dieing to get my hands on them. By this time there were only a couple of people in front of me so I decided on the classic burger, fries, milkshake combo. But what would I want on my burger? The time came and I decided. I walked up to the counter and ordered my, "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun."

Happy April 1st.
