BURGER DAY: Laura, in the Cafe 101 parking lot
Friday, Laura & I went to Cafe 101.  She was famished, and I live right up the street.
Sure, I had dinner plans for a few hours later, but me = glutton, so fuck it.
We both had the burger, caught up as we hadn’t seen each other in a week.  Which, for a photographer & his muse, is a lot.
But this ain’t about us, it’s about the burger!
Meh.
Not bad, no sir.  But…well, let’s use Past Lou.  Past Lou was thinking, “boy, really nothing to say about this burger. Not bad, but not particularly memorable.  What the hell am I gonna write about this so-so burger? The shake’s good, but this ain’t about the shake!  Hm.  This chipotle mayo is tasty, but I didn’t actually use it on the burger.  Maybe I should’ve, but it’s so good with the fries.  Maybe I should talk about the fries, some of ‘em are sweet potatoe fries, and those are delicious.  The burger should be more like them sweet potatoe fries!!!”
So, the burger’s okay, but it’s no sweet potatoe fries.
Grade: C+
