hamburger at the hop

the hop. feeling a burger, i hopped in the car and landed at the hop. the counter dude was super cool. commented that the smile i flashed to him was fake. funny, b/c it was. the banter was fun. he up-sold me, i like that, but this is where the good times end. the hamburger patty tasted like liquid smoke. i guess my palate could be off and it was A-1, but either way...BOO. what happened to the plain salt & pepper patty and griddled fat goodness? huh?

note: the fried pickles were super good.

bar louie

bar louie. have you ever wondered what it would be like to eat lunch inside an abercrombie & fitch? yeah, me neither. but that’s what you’ll get for lunch at bar louie. black & white over-sized prints of “models” hang on the wall and the music is turned up way too much --- that scene may be ok while you belly up to the bar during happy hour, but for lunch, not so much. the loud music made it difficult to have a tête-à-tête. the burger was OK but the foil packet of mayo was strike two. sweet potato fries served with an unappetizing chili sauce and no onion rings on the menu. that’s three. bar louie is out. go to the hop.
