Sometimes the whole, truly is the sum of it’s parts………….
I got into San Diego this morning, well morning Pacific time, I got some work done and then was ready for a little lunch. In keeping with my never ending quest for the perfect burger, I thought I would check out a local legend, Ruby’s Diner. I have to say the decor and period pieces were dynamite. The menu was really an eye
catcher, and the selection of food was very
nice. My waitress was a breath of fresh
air, really friendly, just like back in the 50’s
when Rock n’ Rollers in jeans and poodle
skirts scarfed down burgers across the
fruited plain…. Lots of really special
touches transported me back to a time I
remember fondly. A nice experience.
Even the counter had the great red top stools
I remember so well.
Ah but all this is just window dressing without a killer burger. I won’t hold you in suspense any longer, it wasn’t the long sought for 5 pickle master piece that certainly lurks out there somewhere. It was a good attempt though, with lots to positive thing to say on it’s behalf.
Toasted bun? check.
Real American Cheese? check.
Cooked medium on a flat
steel grill? check.
Great secret seasoning? Not
so much.
Sesame seed bun? You bet.
So I can recommend this place,
Ruby’s Diner, a true all
American Cheeseburger joint
that Elvis would have really
loved. So I can say it was a good solid 4.0. That’s not too shabby folks. Very, few burgers can get this score from me. Then again, next week I’m going to be in Moab, Utah and you know what that means, Milt’s Stop n’ Eat, oh yes, still the reigning champion at 4.75. Coming in behind
that though, is certainly no crime……. What is it they say? “The great is the enemy of the good.”
And people wonder why I love “Life is Good” T-shirts…… Thank you Lord, this truly is a wonderful
life. (that film by-the-way was made in 1946, the year the pilgrim was born……)
