Burger with the works

I don't know if it was because it was Friday or I just wanted something different and wanted to see if this old hamburger joint was still up and running. I found it the number of years ago I probably even have a Blog about it somewhere 5 or 6 years ago. I found it while rolling around exploring the neighborhood. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the joint. It was named after the person who owned it, a nice lady who I think just liked serving people. I'd gone there a number of times, the place is not too far from where I live, maybe a mile or so and it's relatively easy terrain if I take advantage of the marked off bike Lanes that very few people use on this street. I have to confess this still puts me a considerable risk but I look out for myself pretty well. I've noticed lately as I've passed the place it's has another name than before, something more trendy Happy Patty or something like that. The name is actually quite trendy and the new owners have spruced up the front quite a bit but it's still the same old classical hamburger joint once you get on the inside. Nothing's really changed since the other times I've been there. I suppose the joint has some kind of air conditioning system but I couldn't tell when I was there this afternoon. It was hot, almost sweat hot. But really floored me was the new prices. The burger started at 10 bucks a piece and these cometh fries. The burger that I got was without the fries and I think was $9.75 or something like that. In my quest to find the hamburger of the 1960s and 70s I always order the burger pickles and lettuce and onions on a sesame seed bun if they have it- - these guys didn't have a sesame seed bun. The burger was tasty however reminiscent from that scene from Pulp Fiction where Vega talks about how good the hamburger tastes of the poor lad who he takes it from and later destroys. Still, 10 bucks for a hamburger from a greasy hamburger joint at that totally makes me wonder. However I was totally surprised by the amount of cars that are parked out front and how many people were in that greasy joint wolfing down Burgers and Fries, cheese sandwiches anything that seems to be greasy these guys are slinging out. Just a quick side note when the place was operated by the lady before the current proprietor she was quite vested in feeding LDS missionaries. Around lunch time they always seem to be four or five bikes parked out front. The rumor was that she fed them for free or maybe she garnered blessings on high. But anyway I finally finished my burger Savory and everybody but I had to get out of there it was truly turning into a sweatshop and I needed to get back to the apartment complex. I felt that I exercised enough free will of the day and enjoy the Excursion out and put a few miles on my chair at that- - that's what Fridays are for…
