New favorite

One of my biggest weaknesses is food. I would love to be a food critic, and go around sampling foods. I think I'm going to look into that... Unfortunately, my husband shares this passion with me, so we LOVE trying new restaurants and new food. Which isn't so great on our waist lines or our wallets...

I am 30 years old, and I just had the best burger of my life on Monday at a restaurant we tried near John's work. We had tried a few of the bakery items there before, but had never eaten a meal there.

I. WAS. IN. HEAVEN.

This was my burger: Certified American KOBE 8 oz. burger with smoked cheddar cheese, caramelized red onions, apple wood smoked thick-sliced bacon, roasted garlic black truffle aioli & local lettuce on a (the restaurant's) bun. I think it had another sauce on it too, but not sure what it was.

Doesn't seem like anything too extraordinary, right?

My thing with burgers is I don't like pink, and most restaraunts can't cook that. This burger was juicy, and oh so flavorful, I ate and enjoyed every single bite. Honestly when I let John take a bite, I didn't say this out loud, but I thought, "that was a little too big." It was soooo goood! (That's the beauty of sharing this love with my husband we always sample each other's food. There are a lot of times we want to order the same things, but try not to so we can try different food.)

When John saw the word 'truffle' on the menu he said, "there's chocolate on the burger?" I like to think I've helped him be more cultured.

I've been dreaming of that burger since Monday...

Our local paper needs someone like you that knows good food and writes well. I wish they had a weekly feature of a food critic anonymously dining out, then writing an article on their experience--good and not so good. I love eating at a restaurant that's been recommended, but dread wasting my time and money on something I could have made better myself!
(We share our meals too!)
