February 14--In Love with Good Food.

We had a late burger snack about mid-afternoon today, after having burgers for a very early lunch. When we drove past Del's Charcoal Burgers (Polk at McKinney in Richardson) and saw that it was open, we just had to. You can't tell from the photo, but Del's is essentially all by itself in an isolated little pocket of Richardson. And we've never seen it open! So, to see it open just after 3:00 pm today was a shock. Despite the fact that we'd eaten at (I shudder to admit) Fuddrucker's for an 11:00 am lunch, we decided to pop in to Del's. We got one burger and one home-made root beer, cut the burger in half, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The burger was very good (not the best I've ever had, but quite good) and the root beer was extraordinary...served in an exceptionally frosty mug that instantly froze root beer and foam to the glass.

Then, tonight, my wife made her out-of-this-world lassagna and giant bread sticks. Food of the gods. No question!
