When I made up my long list of Food’s I Don’t Eat, I was not eating hamburgers at the time.  But now I eat hamburgers.  What a shame for my arteries.

As a child, I had more than a few hamburgers at various cookouts either hosted or attended by my family, but I never liked them, and one day I decided not to eat them altogether (along with hot dogs).

It all started a year ago in January when I was visiting my sister in Atlanta.  I cannot remember the particulars, but at some point it was decided that weekend would be the time that I break my long streak of not eating burgers.  And we would do it with a bison burger at Ted’s Montana Grill.

At the restaurant I ordered a burger with bacon and avocado, thinking if I really hated the burger there would still be something delicious left to eat.  But did the burger need the help?  OH NO.  It was delicious.  I cannot believe I had gone so long without enjoying a real burger.

Since then, I have not picked up a burger habit like most people.  I eat them only sparingly and when the mood strikes me.  But let me tell you about the most delicious burger I have had in my life so far.  It is at State Road Restaurant.  It comes with homemade fries, as well as homemade ketchup.  The burger is topped with caramelized onions.  The meat is top notch.  It shall be ordered medium unless you are completely lame.
