There was one place up here when we first moved up - I was staying with friends while the house was going through escrow, and she'd suddenly gone vegetarian (mainly to lose some weight) and she would make delightfully snide comments to her husband & I about "Can you two get by on vegetable lasagne, or do you two have to have flesh for dinner?" Thing was...we WERE trying to be supportive and non-judgmental.KY Gentleman said:I'm getting chest pains just reading about it!!!
Anyway, after a week of veggie this, tofu that, no animal products of any kind, George comes in one night and says, "Get your coat - she's stuck at work tonight for a meeting, so we're having a cholesterol fest."
The first hamburger I every had that actually had HAM on it. Two beef patties and a 1/2" thick slice of ham; Swiss, Bleu, Cheddar and American cheese; grilled onions; chili & chopped onion; pickles, lettuce, tomato. Needless to say - had to be eaten with a knife and fork. We were so stuffed, and you could almost hear your arteries clogging. I haven't been back since - don't even know if the place is still there. What I do know is George and I went through a box of Alka Seltzer that night, and it felt like it burger was hanging, mid-chest, in me for a day or two.
