Social commentary of the foodie kind...
Last week, a man had a heart attack whilst eating a Triple Bypass Burger at the Las Vegas location of the Heart Attack Grill.
I hear this man is in the hospital and recovering. Thankfully.
When the Congress came out with ruling that pizza was a vegetable, I kept my blogging mouth shut. (I personally don't get pizza. - I don't want what is essentially a breadstick for dinner.) But, with this news, it's time to ask some serious questions.

Dine and Dish: Park Burger
My hubby loves a burger. If he could eat only one thing for the rest of his life, it would be burgers. Hence, I have become pretty familiar with the burger joints in town. Or so I’d thought. Then I heard about Park Burger. With the words from of rave reviews swirling in my head, we sat down for dinner.
While you can create your own burger, we selected from the ‘Specialty Burger’ menu list to get an authentic first impression. The Croque Burger is the way to go for those who love a fried egg on a sandwich. It is as messy and sinfully indulgent as you can imagine. It also leaves you needing several napkins so stock up prior to first bite.
Our other selection, the BBQ Burger, was equally delish. The burger patty itself was juicy and the barbecue sauce was both sweet and tangy. These flavors married beautifully with the crunch of the haystack onions. I think I’ve found my new favorite burger topping – haystack onions! Who needs fries when haystack onions are the star attraction?
Speaking of fries … the next marker of a great burger joint is the fries. They are an important accompaniment and scoring big in this department is crucial. I am happy to report that we were not disappointed. Our basket of fries were everything I hoped they would be. They touched on the four most important aspects of killer French fries: thinly sliced, salty, crunchy, and served HOT. Final words on Park Burger: outside-the-box, delicious burgers

I want a burger ...
I love a good burger. And I am especially fond of them in the summer when we have lots of BBQs to throw. But one of the things to know about me is that I am quite health conscious too. I’m not super crazy about it but I like to make choices that support a healthy lifestyle. So, what’s a girl to do when she wants a burger? Go buffalo. It’s got great flavor and is healthier than ground beef (even the lean variety). I get it the 96% lean bison from Whole Foods. I love that place. Its my version of heaven on Earth. And the shocking thing is that it was only .20 cents more/lb. than the beef option. Hopefully the picture looks just as yummy as it tasted because it was delish! Oh, and notice that I also made garlic fries - baked of course!
