Every so often, I see something brilliant, which makes me glad to live in this world. Last week, I was lucky enough to encounter three such things.
1. Aquavit in midtown Manhattan serves a smorgasboard as one of their entrees. Why eat one variety of food when you can eat a dozen? Also, the word "smorgasboard" is beautiful.
2. The gas station on Middlefield installed a display in the pump station, playing a continuous stream of commercials. At home I would Tivo-skip over all these ads, but last night I stood and watched every Coke and movie commercial during my fuel-up. So did all the other driver there, proving that timing is more important than content.
3. You know how you want to add toppings to your burger -- tomato, lettuce, relish, fried egg -- but then the size strains your mouth?
...
The solution is: burger in a bowl! Mine had avocado, grilled pineapple, hard-boiled egg, and dried cranberries.
Burger in a bowl? sounds like a salad masquerading as a salad. I've never had a burger with a boiled egg, maybe a fried one, and the cranberries just wont cut it.
ReplyDeleteunless they're fried too
As a lifelong west coaster, I am willing to accept the egg, avocado, or grilled pineapple toppings one at a time. All together, and with dried cranberries as well? That shouldn't qualify as a "burger" ever. Ever ever.
ReplyDeleteThe burger in a bowl don't look that enticing at all. :-(
ReplyDeleteIf a burger gets too big, then just split it, eat the top half then bottom half later...that's what I do. :-) Ketchup stains proof.
it's like eating dumplings without the skin. how does the make any sense?!
ReplyDeleteBurger in a bowl is a salad with hamburger in it. Kinda like the concept of the taco salad. Bottom line is, it ain't no burger!
ReplyDeleteAh, if you like smorgasboard you should try a rijstafel the best being at Kantijl en de Tijger in Amsterdam! Yum!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the carb-o-licious bun?
