Lunch Out

We finally went out for lunch yesterday.  The small restaurant has been open for almost a year and we had still not tried it out.  It is in an easy to find location and I had heard good things about it.
I am cautious about what I order the first time at a restaurant.  One of the ways I grade a place is on how tasty they can make a hamburger, as hamburgers here were usually not that good.  When we first moved here we tried a few and got the thinnest, driest, most tasteless frozen patties imaginable.  So now I figure if they can make a decent burger then their other stuff might be edible also.  This is probably crazy; but that's how I do it.
I ordered mine with bacon, 2 cheeses, lettuce, tomato, onion, etc., the usual loaded burger.  Roy decided to order one with Poblano chili on it and he pronounced it good.  Mine was also tasty.  The burgers come either with fries or salad, normally I would have had a salad; but I wanted to see if the french fries were crispy or soggy and greasy.  Nice and crispy.
All in all a decent lunch, (neither one of us quite finished it all), good prices, great service, and an interesting conversation with the gentlemen at the next table.  Sadly, they only serve Pepsi and not the good Coke stuff.
The young man running the place says he worked in Canada for 4 years; but worked mostly with Latinos so he says his English is not that good.  I thought he did pretty well when he spoke it.  He attended  a school of gastronomy in Toronto he said.

We will return another time and try something more interesting than a burger.

Today I had my online art class which went from 4 hours to around 5 1/2 hrs., so we didn't have a hot lunch.  I later made a sort of sloppy joe mixture which we ate over mashed potatoes.  Fall type food.
I now have a crock pot full of pork and beans bubbling away.  I have a small crock pot so it can only hold about 1 lb. of beans at a time.  We like the NOB type baked beans, which we can't get here unless I go to the import store and then it is the American brands only, plus I feel guilty paying those kind of prices for beans.   The flavour of the ones I make are kind of like the Heinz baked beans, (Roy says better) that we get in Canada or a better version of Bushs baked beans in the USA, the only brand I have found there that is remotely edible, (just my opinion).  I use lots of bacon in them and some molasses and dry mustard among other things.
I freeze them and then we can take them out for a fast, quick meal of beans on toast some days when I am being lazy.  Does anyone else like beans on toast?  It is something that we ate when we were children at home.
Ok, I am being even more boring that usual and rambling so time to stop.
