6. Al took me out for my favorite burger

After a couple of hours at the eye doctor, then more than an hour at the phone store (to find out why Al's phone number won't port to his new phone) and then a stop at Aldi to get some much needed groceries...

Al decided to give me a break from cooking dinner.

The restaurant is "The 99" and I think it's local to New England (maybe even just Massachusetts) and the burger is the "All-Star burger." It has American chsese, lettuce, tomatoes, caramelized onions, pickles and bacon... Absolutely all the right ingredients for a burger and nothing unnecessary. When it's cooked properly (and the person at this particular location usually does cook it properly) it is THE PERFECT burger. It's gotten to the point where I no longer ask for a menu when we go there. When perfection is on the menu, there's no point in entertaining other options.

No dessert, but I did have a House margarita.
