One of those cold, yucky days around Christmas, a coworker and I were talking about lunch. I asked her what she was going to eat, and we tossed ideas back and forth until we both decided to order out and eat at our desks (we sit next to each other). We chose Burger Burger and quickly made up our minds.
I wanted to be bad, so I opted to start with jalapeno poppers. For $5, I got.. five poppers. Ummm.
They were good, don’t get me wrong, but at $1 each? I think I’d pass next time. Cheezy, gooey, oozy, and spicy! but … not worth the price tag. I barely had a good taste for them and they were gone!
Here’s where my stupidity comes in. The menu item was Burger Burger; two 6 ounce cheeseburgers and special sauce blah blah blah. So I thought it was a two burger platter… nope! it was a two patty burger! Oops… but my coworker was kind enough not to tell me I’m stupid; we continued our decision to split it and split most everything easily. And that was some tasty eating that apparently I didn’t do a cross-section photo of! WHOOPS!
But I’ve written about Burger Burger before so you can see one of their burgers dissected here. It was very tasty and… well, great. I’d still go back for more burgers if I hadn’t quit my job and won’t be returning to the area, like, ever. 🙂
Finally, because it was so cold, we both wanted chili. We got chili. Ummm.
And it wasn’t good. I actually ate about two – three bites and threw it away. (I brought it home first, thinking I might eat the leftovers later, but nope, it went into the garbage because it wasn’t good. I even made my own chili shortly after just to wash the memory of this one out of my mouth.) It came with very greasy but clearly homemade tortilla chips, which was nice. However… overall… waste of time and money.
Also, we ordered delivery. They were kind of slow, but as it was so cold, I guess it could be forgiven. Although they ARE just across the street… but whatever, no big deal.
Yvo says: Stick to the burgers. The other stuff I’ve tried here is all just meh but the burgers are good enough that really, you don’t go to a place called Burger Burger for something besides burgers, do you? No, you don’t.

I really want a burger now. We watched Cheeseburger and Fries on Food Tech last night and that made me really want one too. You suck. : )
