Burger Book Giveaway: 'Hamburger America'
I love to eat beef
All juicy, salty, and sweet
Fills my stomach well.

If these guys dont know that tossing flour in a 500 degree gas oven is an idiot move they probably shouldn't be using them. But thats another story. I just ate there for the first time after a few attempts. The line moved relatively quick. I dont know why there even is a line in the first place, they have six oven shelves to work and could probably be a little more thoughtful in the expediting department.
As for the pizza, (Joe and Pat's is THE standard), the pizza is crap. Yup, total crap. You have to be drunk to eat it. They should move to Chicago at that thickness. I imagine they had to leave Staten Island because that kind of garbage would not be tolerated. I'll stick with Bleeker in that hood or some of the thin slices on Ave. B..

I was reading through my RSS feeds as fast as I could and got here just at noon. Sad face.
Only word is yum!
Will travel for a burger
Cross country and back.
Juices hot and red
Dribble slowly down my chin
A bite of heaven.

Juicy medium rare love
Beefy orgasm
