Yesterday we celebrated my hubby’s birthday. For a treat, we decided to go out for lunch and eat a burger at South Street Burger Co. These are not just any burgers, but are made from hormone-free and additive-free patties. The cost per burger is more; but we were hoping that the filling would make for a tastier and healthier meal.
Once we had received our order, we brought it to the table. The fries, of course, had to be dusted with seasoned salt. My choice of burger was Mushroom and Swiss. Looking at it, the meal certainly looked different to what is offered at MacDonald’s – even the bread looked of a better quality.
My husband bit into his burger, showing the layers of his sandwich. He claimed the taste of his choice was as good as is described in the menu.
The burgers were tasty – and very filling. Next time we will do without the fries and try instead the onion rings.
Do you enjoy eating the layers of a burger?

Their fries are sooooo good. Think I might have to find someone with a birthday so I can celebrate, too. 🙂

This are definitely some juicy layers :D. The last time I had one was in a cafe in Paris in May. Here we have our local version of minced meat – called cevapcici and we have it once a month on a work day :D. It is not layered, but it is pure meat without additives, with a very nice bread bun 🙂

Your local version certainly sounds interesting. And eating a burger in Paris? What a perfect setting!

I like layers of burgers entirely too much. Without layers, it’s just bread and bun. I haven’t eaten yet today, and now I’m hungry for a hamburger.

I think that next time I will not be shy and I will add more layers – the burger would be even tastier I think.

Unfortunately, if a burger is moist and juicy I enjoy it whether it is healthy or not. ☺

Yum! They look wonderful. After seeing a documentary about what goes into hamburger these days, I switched to buying direct from a farmer who raises his own cows with no artificial anything, and the difference is amazing!

When we tasted the meat, we could actually taste the difference. The taste was well worth the extra money spent. The next step would be to make our patties from scratch using humane-raised beef.

Good question. When I pointed that out to him, it didn’t seem to resonate. Meanwhile, my other son enjoys writing stories on ‘watpad’. He finds interesting pics and then writes a short story about them as you do on your ‘Free Write Fridays’
