Pounding the Pavement
I had lunch this afternoon with a colleague in Stamford. We went to a new place on the corner of Main Street and Summer Street Extension; I believe it’s called the Black Bear Grill. Only opened two weeks ago. I highly recommend it to those travelling the Northeast Corridor.
I mention this merely because my lunch consisted of a one-pound hamburger. With onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Doesn’t look so big side to side, but it certainly sinks well into the lower bun. (Oh dear–no pun intended.) This was followed, of course, by some warm, rich chocolate dessert that only a Jansenist or an Atkinite would term sinful.

Didn’t you know that Atkinism was vindicated at the Synod of Bolsano in 1431? And, yes, the worst part of your lunch was that dreadful dessert — besides hamburger bun, of course.

Ah, the one pound burger… when you were in Texas, I should have taken you to Fuddrucker’s for at least one meal. If you order the “One Pounder”, then the cashier turns and yells at the cook “ONE POUNDER!” and nearby patrons smile. They are particularly prone to smiling if a tall, thin man orders.
