Podcast Rant

Check out the Podcast... HERE

Mel's Country Cafe

Hey y'all! It's been a hot minute since my last post and for that I apologize to those loyal fans. Not making excuses however I'm not gonna lie I got caught up in the Dusty's, and a friend recently retired from the blogging world. You know its a real shame when someone leaves you all alone. I mean geez just look at N*SYNC that didn't work out for all of us did. We lost the creative genius that brought us Bye, Bye, Bye... 

Mel's


Quality: 4
This was a good burger. Not the best burger ever however it was solid. I always respect when burger joints take the time to make homemade patties. Its that kind of dedication to the art that really makes a place special. Anyone can just whip out flash frozen patties, but real masters real burger artists take the time to make each burger their own and strive for greatness.

Quantity: 5
For those of you not really familiar with the Mega Mel Challenge its 2 lbs of beef patties, 1/2 lb of bacon, and a whole heap of lettuce and tomatoes. I'm here to tell you that I did not take down that challenge. Not out of fear, but out of the fact that people there were staring at me already and I didn't really want that attention from them. I did nail the Mel burger however which was 1.5 lbs of beef and 1/2 lb of bacon... 

Cost: 3
Cost of ok... It was above the magically $20 mark that other joints have established as an average point to judge from. It wasn't much more expensive though so its all good. 

Count them boys... 3... 1/2 lb patties

Full Factor: 4.5
You know what surprisingly this burger was large, but I didn't really struggle with it. Mainly cause I'm a burger beast so that not unusual. Seriously though this burger did fill me up. What people don't realize is that you have to train for large burgers, because you cant just make the leap for 1/2 pounders to just nailing pounders and more.

Ease of Eating: 3
It was a tall burger. So that makes it kinda awkward to eat. I'm not gonna lie I had to cut that bad boy in half in order to actually eat it. I mean other than that it was easy enough to eat so I had to dock it on that point. 

Side Dishes: 4
Fries, Onion Rings, and my personal favorite Tots... The tots were very good so I can't complain here. I mean they were fried just right crisp, crunchy, and most importantly they stayed like that. Sometimes you get those tots that can get soggy and that ain't what you want. 

Ambiance:
I mean other that sticking out like a sore thumb it was just a like a pretty normal country cafe. When I say sticking out like a sore thumb I really mean it. I think two waitresses dropped their stuff in shock when I walked in. They had the typical red and white checkered table clothes. Just a good ol down home country joint. 

Overall: 3.9
It was a good burger. However unless you live close to the Tomball area it may not be worth the drive out there. I mean it was far. However I am dedicated to give y'all the best reviews I can bring y'all so I did it. 

I would like to add this on a side note this place was packed!! Also for those people that we there I would like to add please stop creeping when people walk in.
