I don't order a lot of
fried food anymore just because I'm trying to lose weight and a
hamburger is not good way to lose weight. I love a good hamburger
either log McDonald's hamburgers not the big Fat multi-Patty,goopy
monstrosities but McDonald's entry-level burger which used to cost
$.15 now costs almost a dollar. But I wish burger Fast food joints
would do with me to serve the entrée with just a handful of fries.
So many times when I order my burger and and asked if I want to help
out with fries or onion rings I would love to say yeah sure. The
price is not to prevent me from ordering these carbohydrate wonders
taste and little nourishment It seems the fried delicacy is served
In the bushel basket size portion. It's not even like he can take the
quarter fries home with you need later because everyone knows cold
fries can be reheated and just does not cut it once the cold and old.
Once or twice when I've
gone to pick my order up at the window I've been blessed with
somebody who had dropped a couple fries off their order when they
picked it up and had not been cleaned up from the counter. These 2or
3 Fries just enough To complement the better. I even asked the server
if she could just throw in a couple fries She just smiles at me like
I have a deficiency of some sort. After all there in the business to
sell food and lots of it. I just want to taste that's all.
Yesterday I was downtown
for my regular Assist meeting and I have to go to Fourth South to
catch the red line home. In doing so I had to pass the Apollo burger
Joint downtown. They make great burgers, flame broiled in the bigger
than what I need but I figured what the heck. I went in wrestled with
the size of the burger, 1/3 pound and took in the aroma of everyone's
food. I even asked the person taking my order if they made a smaller
burger she smiled and shook her head no. I was going to have to order
one of the big guys and I did. I ordered the mushroom burger. I
really wanted to order the pastrami burger but I did not dare not
that would have made a whole lot of difference in the end. I just
cannot bring myself to order that much enjoyment. The girl smiled at
me And I asked, “is that all Sir?” Would you like onions or fries
to go with your order? I smiled forlornly in saying no and take my
number to the table.
I'm looking for a table
When I noticed a half filled drink and what's left of it order of the
table next to the table I was considering. On the tray with the half a drink was the usual waded up napkins covering what was left out
the meal and to the side was the cardboard container fries camewere five or six residuals resting in the container, and I
have a convoluted idea , If George Costanza can retrieve a half a doughnut from the dumpster I can certainly grab these couple of tries
from the table and I did it. I looked around no one was paying
attention and I reached over and snatched the french fries. It was
perfect, it was exactly what I wanted just a taste of fries.
I don't know if I ever
plan to do this again – – snatch some dead fries but I tell you
what I am certainly going to consider the possibility if I'm given
the opportunity again. It's the only way to fry.
