Eating out

This post has nothing to do with anything I've made or modified, but I feel like sharing it anyway.

Last year (2010) over Thanksgiving weekend my mother flew out to visit some relatives on the East Coast. One of my (many) weird quirks is that I enjoy taking people to and from the airport.

So what does this have to do with anything? Well, I listen to a lot of podcasts. One of my favorites is the Drunk Tank, the podcast of Rooster Teeth (a machinima company whose many products I enjoy). On one particular episode one of the podcast members mentioned that he had been in Seattle and really wanted a burger and thus tweeted the inquiry of where to go, and was quickly pointed towards a place called Lunchbox Laboratory (lunchboxlaboratory.com). He then said it was the largest, most delicious burger he'd ever eaten.

Since I hate driving myself around, I wasn't willing to go up to Seattle to find this place for the hell of it. However, thanks to my mom's flight back from the East Coast, I was going to be in the area anyway. Happy times!

Anyway, this place let you choose either a "stock" type of burger (cheeseburger variations, veggie burger variations, etc) or you could build your own from a massive variety of ingredients. Lacking hudspa I went with a stock burger (I don't recall which one), and this is what it looked like.

As it should now be obvious, there's a lot of stuff in there. And it was amazingly delicious. Seriously. Here's another pic that should better emphasize the height of this bad boy with a decent cross-sectional view thanks to my already having eaten some of it.

There was a lot of burger there, but I ate it all without incident. The only real problem I had was starting into it without causing some innards to spit out the othe end. You know, the usual difficulty with anything thick like this. In any event, it was great. Once my braces get off, I plan on trying this burger the Ram offers called the Behemoth. Supposed to be crazy huge. We'll see how that goes.
