OK, so not really blind dates, but dates with people met on online dating sites. Usually this doesn’t work for me, but somehow after being on OKCupid for three years, I’ve gone out with three people. I never talk about it because what if it works out? HAH. I’m no longer deluding myself.

But really, the important thing is WHAT I ATE on my last two blind dates. Both were messy, both were cheeseburgers. A couple of weeks ago I went to Bridgeport Brewery where they cooked my cheeseburger as rare as I wanted (as rare as they could get it) and I think it’s a solid pub burger.

But this weekend I went to Café Nell (which I always thought was almost great but never enough food) and got their great burger. It had thick smoky bacon, nicely seasoned meat cooked kind of rare, a runny sunnyside-up egg (the way I like it), nice unobtrusive bun, and sweet relish. It was tasty.

I think this goes on my list of best fancy burgers.
