A Fibbin' just reading...

I have never been a big fan of spicy food. Looks quite tasty though.

We have a local burger joint here called Mixed up Burgers. Kind of a hole in the wall joint (the best kind) and they have a burger called the "Love Burger". Ham, pineapple & provolone cheese mixed into the patty. Drizzled with a teriyaki glaze and served on a toasted glazed doughnut. Yea, a doughnut. Mmmmmmm good.

The also have Grilled cheese with tomato and basil burger. A 1/3 pound patty mixed with American cheese, topped with two tomato slices & fresh basil served between two gooey grilled cheese sandwiches.

I love this place.

Wow ! that first post gets me ~ I love Cajun foods, they're not always blistering hot, spicy can be a good thing sans heat .

That 'love burger' sounds scrumptious too, sadly I've not had a hankering for a burger in over a year, that's sad but prolly healthier .

In Arizona there's a place called the "Heart Attack Grill" that was maybe good once but rather sucked when I went by a few years ago .

I love my gumbo, etuffe (SP) and things like that too .

I hate to admit it, I have to restrain myself from popping in to Carl's, Jr and getting one of their bacon-guacamole-chessburgers. Decadent stuff. I swear I get chest pains from it. That's why I quit.

No Best Stop on that list. Fake Boudin News.

Yes, they look fantastic on the T.V. adverts then I go in and they hand me a lukewarm, poorly assembled sandwich that doesn't taste wonderful....

Bummer, I remember loving the "Whopper" in 1965 or so......

The one's I had were pretty good. Maybe it's a NorCal thing.

...Could be ~

Back when Burger King was *just* introducing the "$6 burger" (for $3.95) I stopped in in Oregon and tried one ~ Shirley and I were the only persons in the restaurant and the entire crew came out to see how we liked it .

It was O.K., I think the 'Whopper' in 1965 was better .

One of my Foster boys asked me if I'd tried the "Impossible Burger" (SP ?) that's made of non meat stuff (prolly Monsanto's trash) and I told him we'd give it a go soon .

That surprised me, too. When I worked in Laffy, one Friday a month I’d stop by there and get 1/2 pound of gratons and 10 links of boudin for breakfast for my shop. It would be totally gone and cleaned up by noon. Then off to Bach Lunch!

I ate one. It sort of tastes and smells like a beef burger, the texture is right but it was not the full experience for me. No surprise I guess, and I can't put my finger on it but it fell flat, for me anyway, YMMV.

Power of suggestion ... I stopped in at Carl's Jr. the other night, first time in maybe 8 to 10 years, got the bacon-guacamole cheeseburger - still on the menu - and some onion rings. Took it home and had a top rung beer with it. Not bad. Won't make a habit of it though. Took forever to digest. And holy crap, my bill was 14 bucks!

Helpful hint from cmac, no extra charge, a meal that can be had for about $3 in groceries, far superior to a fastfood burger: a can of sardines, with skin and bones is better, and some sauteed veggies - broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus etc. are superior carbohydrates. Sautee some mix of that with onion, red bell pepper and garlic, it can be kept in the fridge for several days. Microwave a can of sardines with some of that stir fry, lil bit of mustard and mayo and you have a quickly digested, omega 3 high meal. Sardines are more tasty than I realized.

It's my Foster boy who prompted me to think of trying this veggie burger, we've not gone yet, I guess I will, I too no longer like the fast foods I loved long ago .

I'm told that it gets good flavor from being cooked on the same grill as the beef patties, we'll see one of these dayze .

I hope you were joking about microwaving a can of anything, any metal will blow the oven's fuse ~ my late mother in law had a habit of using her favorite place with a thin line of gold flake in it, always blew the fuse every time...

I like sardines in mustard, kippered herring is better though.....

Well, I meant a can's worth of sardines, the contents of a can of sardines, etc. I'm getting better at nutritional meals that can be tossed together in a hurry and don't cost a lot.

Yes, I understood that, I too occasionally make a meal out of one tin of sardines in mustard and a few unsalted crackers .

The older I get the more I want to eat less but I still get hungry .

I love sardines! Whatever the sauce they are in is fine with me. Forty years ago when I was a surveyor my Rodman was a sardine guy, too. Lunch was often eaten in the pickup cab for warmth. Open a couple cans and some V-8 juice to wash them down on either Ritz or saltines. I’ll bet to a non-sardine water that cab wouldda been hell on Earth.
