We’d stopped going because the owner opened a 2nd place much closer to our house, with virtually the same menu but with a different name.<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷🏾" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-1f3fe.png" title="Person shrugging: medium-dark skin tone    :person_shrugging_tone4:" data-shortname=":person_shrugging_tone4:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />  Unfortunately, after several years of operation- even during the pandemic- that location closed, replaced by a restaurant we already loved moving to a new spot.  And then that place closed.  But by that time, there were several other top-notch burger places in the neighborhood to go to.  Some had exotic meats (bison, boar, wagyu, camel, etc.).  Some had secret sauces.  Some fused traditional American burgers with other cuisines (like Korean).  We were spoiled for choice.  Then, one by one, most of those joints also disappeared or revamped their menus.This year, I intentionally wanted to go back to frequenting my favorite restaurants* that I’d kinda been missing as I cooked more at home.  Getting back to this particular burger place has been a great nostalgia trip.  Nothing fancy about it except the array of flatscreen TVs.  A real hangout kind of place, with polished concrete and neon signs.* as it turns out, several had recently changed hands.</blockquote>
