Where's the beef?

September 18th ?!?

I've been told it was March 14th.

Gonna have to clear this up when I get home.

And I had one!

RMD

Just had one and didn't even know I was in compliance!

Seeing that I'm already facing the possibility of some heavy duty prison time (I cut the tag off my mattress), I figured that I better observe this national day; I did not want to serve two consecutive sentences, so I complied with the mandate.

I wanted something a bit better than the typical fast-food burger. Tried Culver's last month and it was terrible. I was going to try Arby's Wagyu, but was informed that it is not a current menu item.

I was just going to give in and pick up a Dave's double at Wendy's on the way home, then I saw the sign for Sonny's BBQ and remembered that they have burgers on the menu. I had never tried one there, so I pulled in to the parking lot, went up to the take-out counter and ordered a couple. The young lady was pleasant and attentive, and assured me that I could indeed get them medium rare.

Got them home and dug in. My wife and I agreed that these rank with the very best restaurant burgers. They were outstanding! If there's a Sonny's anywhere near you, I suggest that you try the burger there.

Didn't order any of their sides, as we had some fresh corn in the refrigerator, steamed a few ears for a great side dish.

The food court at the mall didn't have a burger joint, so I had a chicken sandwich instead. To make amends somewhat, the menu tonight is turkey cheeseburgers with baked beans. Great looking burger pic in V-Tail's first post.

I’ll have to get a cheeburger and a Coke.

I had just taken my chicken dinner out of the (microwave) oven when I saw the notice. Damn! I'll get a cheeseburger tomorrow, I promise.

Since we open our gifts on Christmas Eve, we ate our cheeseburgers on cheeseburger eve.

Jimmy Buffet, Cheeseburger In Paradise song

Tried to amend my carnivorous habits.
Made it nearly seventy days,
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds,
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays.

But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat.
Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulger wheat,
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat.

Cheeseburger in paradise.
Heaven on earth with an onion slice.
Not too particular, not too precise.
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato,
Heinz Fifty-seven and French fried potatoes.
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer.
Well, good God Almighty, which way do I steer
For my cheeseburger in paradise.

Verse 2:
Heard about the old time sailor men,
They eat the same thing again and again;
Warm beer and bread they say could raise the dead.
Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn.

But times have changed for sailors these days.
When I'm in port I get what I need;
Not just Havanas or banana or daiquiris,
But that American creation on which I feed!

Cheeseburger in paradise
Medium rare with mustard'd be nice
Not too particular, not too precise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draught beer
Well, good god Almighty which way do I steer

For a cheeseburger in paradise
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice.
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice
To get a cheeseburger in paradise;
To be a cheeseburger in paradise.
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.

^^^
I thank you for that!

Why would you eat a cheeseburger on pi(e) day?!?!

I did not participate though, I ate a sandwich from The Sandwich Spot.

My wife was all set to make some casserole. I called her up and mentioned it was National CheeseBurger day (which I learned here). I went to Whataburger and picked up some deliciousness. I even bought a "for later" burger to take for lunch today. It's 8:30 and that burger is gone.
I don't usually get involved with National this or that day, but CheeseBurger day is on my calendar.

Shit. I missed it.

Just set your watch back 24 hours.

I had a mushroom swiss burger at my neighborhood joint. Inexpensive and good. Good fries, too.

I got my cheeburger, but they didn’t have Coke, just Pepsi.
