About Me

Hi, my name is Christine and I am a cheeseburger addict.

It’s not a recent thing either, I’ve been a fan for ages.  It’s safe to say that cheeseburgers are one of my most frequently eaten foods.  You don’t have to worry about my heart health– I don’t eat them daily or even once a week.  I find eating them as an adventure.  The beauty of cheeseburgers is they are hard to screw up, but even harder to make memorable.

I’m a baker, not a chef.  I’ve never been to a culinary class.  I would barely call myself a foodie, because I know so little about food.  Simply, I moved to this new city and there are a lot of burgers I have yet to eat, so this blog is my invitation to join me on my cheeseburger eating adventure.

My Reviews:

This is all about the meal.  Though service and environment do play a huge part in restaurants, I find that I’m more interested in my cheeseburger anyway.  I may make a few suggestions, like “don’t go starving, service takes a while” or “great beers on tap,” but for the most part, I’m going to stick to the plate in front of me.  For me, one crucial element to a good burger is the side dishes.  If a side dish clashes, the burger barely stands a chance so reviews will also include how well the burger was paired.  As far as drinks are concerned, I will try to make a suggestion for what to order to drink, but I’m a novice.

How I Eat My Burgers:

I’m very particular about the way I like my burgers and the way I eat my burgers.  If I’m at a restaurant for the first time (and know there’s a chance I could return and be more adventerous at a later time), I order a cheeseburger cooked medium, topped with lettuce and tomato (sometimes mayonaise.)  I cut the burger in half to make sure it’s cooked and dip the burger in ketchup.  Even though I do not pickles, I expect the burger to be served with one, so I can give it to my roommate.

COMING SOON

I have been eating at least one cheeseburger a week for as I can remember.  I will be reviewing burgers I eat since I am in a wonderful neighborhood full of delicious cow!  (Sometimes I will travel outside of Northern Liberties, too.)
