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.
