Burger club was a bust tonight, but I did have a nice dinner with Erin and Tigh. Or is it Tai? I have no idea how he spells his name. No one else showed up or replied, and the three of us made it to Carlyle, but they only had one burger left! I had it and I think I need to get everyone over there to try it. It was that good, and the thinly cut fries were tasty. It matched the description from the menu:

Hand Ground Hamburger
Pearl Bakery brioche bun, aged cheddar, thick-cut bacon, roasted tomato jam, french fries
$11.00

I forgot about the bacon. It was smoky and flavorful and TENDER. I hate it when you have to chew through leathery bacon, or you end up pulling all of it out when your teeth don’t cut all the way through it. This bacon wasn’t like that. Another plus was the drink I had, the “Curse of Scotland” which paired some sweetness with the smoky peaty taste of Aardbeg. The thin fries were nice and crispy, though the aioli paired with them was a bit disappointing. They told us they had ketchup in the back, but I asked after we’d inhaled all the fries we ordered.

One big minus was the portion size. The place is butt expensive, and the servings are on the diminutive side. Anyone who has eaten one of the brioche buns from Grand Central knows it’s not that big. Ah, well, at least I didn’t feel sick after my burger, fries, and tasty but tiny waffle dessert. It was probably the right amount of food.

On to my complaint about Platt Electric. I finally got my $25 light switches from them, and you probably know how small and light 3 light switches are. THEY CHARGED ME $17 FREIGHT FOR THE F*CKING THINGS. And I had to go pick them up in person. And I had to go in and remind them that we had them on back order before they realized they had them on the shelf for a whole week. And they had to call several different people before they would sell them to me. Motherf*ckers. Well, that’s what I get every time I go to Platt Electric. Don’t they know my ass is already sore from Joe Lieberman?
