  Burgers are a funny thing. None of those choices really appeal to me. I’d take Charlie’s (finally went there, and enjoyed it very much) or Shake Shack over any of them. While wishing we had more generic roadside grill-type burger places here. And dreaming of the day we get a Killer Burger-type place.

  (Maybe that’s my calling!)

  I mean, I’d try them all once, and I’m sure they’re excellent examples of their style, don’t get me wrong, but I just don’t get the big bistro-style burger. Oh, well. I guess they’re much like pizza in that way, too, though. To each their own!

  …..

  The pizza list is a good one, I’ve been meaning to get to Nomad for a while. I do love Pizza Brain’s white slices (their tomato sauce is a touch too sweet for my tastes, though not bad in any way), and I’ve recently become a Rustica convert.

  …..

  Octopus salami. That sounds right up my alley!
