Since I was invited to a Memorial Day barbecue that was rumoured to have cheeseburgers, I threw out my original plan of not going to a barbecue and replaced it with a plan of definitely attending a barbecue. This turned out to be a good decision.
Erica's roommate Kelly was determined to not only make the blog (which is obviously going to happen if there is a burger eaten) but to get her burger noticed. Well, wish granted. She not only made some homemade patties from ground beef instead of frozen stuff (hey, that is impressive stuff for a barbecue), there were 3 different choices for burgers! I ended up going for the bacon & blue cheese burger, which had bacon and blue cheese inside the meat! There were also tomatoes in there. Apparently that is a popular thing to do out in Eastern Mass. Who knew? Additionally, there was bacon to go on top of the burger along with some pepperjack cheese (which may be my new favorite cheese). And to make it even more awesome, the cheese was melted over the bacon so it couldn't escape. There were also tomatoes and onions to go under the burger as well.
Looks like I am going to have to try harder from now on at my own house.
