Eggs on the Table

We’re big fans of Bare Burger.  One of the first places we saw with Hunts Ketchup with no High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) on the guest tables; this made John a fan!  Getting people to think in terms of organic, local, and sustainable foods is a great thing.  We need more of this.

I’ve had brunch and lunch and dinner, many times.  Always going for a burger as I thought anything else would be like getting salmon at a steakhouse.  Today, while having brunch at the Bayside Bare Burger, I ordered one of the Mexican Egg sandwich (not exact name on the menu).  I ordered them over easy.  The plate came and looked good but then I noticed the egg yolks.  Not the orange we’ve come to expect from places like Queens Farm but pale yellow that we’ve been warned about.

I’ll be back but not to order eggs and Bare Burger, please put your eggs on the table!

 

Would John Live Here?

Last week I was in Portland.  Not the one in Maine but the one in Oregon.  In the great city of Portland, the age old question of “Would John Eat it?” was replaced by “Would John Live Here?”  One day in this city and you’d realize that the question is rhetorical; yes, John would live here and yes, John would eat just about everything here!  While the state of Oregon isn’t high fructose corn syrup free, it’s about as good as it gets.
