OK. For those of you not sure this kind of lunch spot is in your comfort zone, here’s the step by step.
Step 1. Enter and feel the pleasure of some nice A/C.
Step 2. Check out the menu. No need for double meat unless you need double meat. You’ll notice the enthusiastic lack of onion rings, fries and tator tots, so cruise the bountiful chip aisle instead.
Step 3. Specify any fixin’ issue you may have. Mine’s always ‘no onion.’
P.S. Those good looking tomatoes remind me of a story. We once bought moments-off-the-farm produce from a guy parked out front. He wasn’t parked to sell produce, he was just inside hanging out, but we saw his stash in the back of his station wagon and he didn’t mind selling us some.
Step 4. Take care of any personal business you might have.
Step 5. Start in on your beverage. These are for the non-drivers, of course.
Step 6. Say a quick hello to the guys hanging out and then linger to watch them play speed dominoes until you feel rude.
Step 7. Pay for your meal and read up on the local goings on.
Step 8. Go back to the grill and watch your delicious handmade patty finish up.
Step 9. Take that sweet baby back to the car and eat it while driving. Easy peasy.
