  • Back to the Basic Burger Joint

    I started this blog thinking of scooters and the Great American Hamburger Stand. Here in Sacramento the first places that came to mind were Scott’s Burger Shack, Ford’s Real Hamburgers, Cookie’s Drive In, and Whitey’s Jolly Kone. It only took two months for me to stray from this approach and…

  • Movies with Scooters

    Check out all the scooters in this poorly (re)produced video. Personally I would pick the Sith’s ride in The Phantom Menace. Then I could ride to Toshe Station to pick up some power converters in style!

  • Tale of Two Burgers and the Mini Scooters

    A linguist friend told me recently that the correct pronunciation of crêpe is “kreap” not “krape.” Like how a Scotsman might say, “Eh, this shepherd’s pie tastes like kreap.” I wonder if we changed the pronunciation sounds the food would sound more appealing. Nevertheless, this is a blog about hamburgers.…

  • Paula Deen’s Egg/Beef Burger on a Glazed Donut!
