Burger Bucket List

Well, my burger bucket list is now complete.  A few months ago, a friend informed me of these hamburgers that I just MUST try.  So on a mission we went to sample all these burgers.  Some were worth it, some were not.  On our list was the Anchor Burger which is a rinky dink bar with greasy bar food.  I have never eaten at the Anchor, and have heard nothing but ravishing reviews of all who had the Anchor Burger Experience.  My initial impression was "eh".  Burger was OK, but nothing special.  My mom makes an equally tasty burger.  The biggest down fall, for me, was that the accompanying soda was flat and gross which kind of ruined the whole experience for me.

Onto a Culver's Butter Burger.  Never had I had one before.  Until a week or so ago.  Under the recommendation of my burger eating buddy, I got a double bacon butter burger.  Delicious!  The down fall this time was that in addition to the burger, we got chocolate malts which made our tummys expand something fierce.  Too much food.  A double burger, fries, and a malt.....yikes!

After saying "never again", and recovering for about a month, today we tried the Five Guys burger.  Again, a foreign experience for me.  This time, we got a burger, soda, and split the fries.  Perfection.  Though it is quite a different burger from Culver's, the entire experience was more enjoyable because we didn't get over stuffed, the soda was delicious, and the burger quite tasty.

All of this Burger sampling has not been agreeable with a healthy lifestyle nor one that promotes weight loss.  Still, I weighed myself today, and I am not too far gone yet.  Still 12 pounds down from where I originally started, but about 10 pounds up from where I'd like to be.

Now that my Burger Bucket List is complete, I won't be eating burgers out anytime soon.  Its been a summer of burgers, blizzards, and bonfires!
