I missed lunch on Tuesday, so by the time the dinner bell rang I was starving. I walked a few blocks from the office and strolled into Johnny Rockets. For those who've never been to Johnny Rockets, they are a chain restaurant themed like a 1960's diner with oldies on the juke box and authentic diner type food. Perusing the menu, I stumbled upon this...
Smoke House Single:One fresh 1/3 lb. ground beef patty, Cheddar Cheese, thick bacon, crispy onion rings and our Smoke House barbecue-ranch sauce.
Oh my goodness... pair this monster of a burger with a side order of fries and I seriously believe I could feel my arteries clogging with each and every bite. Good thing I ordered that Diet Coke to go along with this. No sense in adding a healthy dose of high fructose corn syrup to my fat laden, carbohydrate loaded entree with deep fried, sodium spiced starch.
Someone call me an ambulance.

From a vegetarian to a non vegetarian...I know you're doing your best. And honey, honestly, I think it's the coke that might kill you!
What was playing?
Here's a good way to help the planet and animals. Go vegetarian one day a week. You might actually enjoy it!!! If San Jose is anything like Sacramento it has a San Jose Magazine. Do a Google search of their "Best Vegetarian Resturants." Find one and have a wonderful meal. I'm confident you'll love it. Then give me your review. I want you around for a long, long time.
I love you and thanks for your support.
Bartles & James,
Whoops, Blottie!
Oh forgot. I'M NUMBER 1!!!!!
San Jose has a magazine. But everyone working there wants to work on the San Francisco magazine...
Happy Birthday Bob! (Was I right yesterday?! Did you have a birthday burger?)
That looks yucky.
I keep telling myself that.
And I agree with Suzanne, the diet coke is what would do you in. That stuff is liquid poison. Truly. aspertame poisoning symptoms exactly mimic MS.
Don't drink too much of it.
Hi Bob!
VW:Shout
MerelyMe... No b-day, Tuesday or Wednesday.
I got heartburn just looking at that photo...was it good?
Blottie... I may go veggie after that burger. Oy vey!
Megan... there's a lot of people, magazine writers included, that want out of SJ.
Karen... I do avoid Diet Coke when possible, but Coke Zero is another matter entirely.
RC... it wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be, but I was starving.
Oh that burger looks so good. I think could of a lot of stuff to try and be a vegetarian but a nice burger would be hard to pass up every now and then. People eating tasting animals is a tough group to leave. I have never been to Johnny Rockets. Looks like a great place to visit though. It reminds me a little of Steak -N- Shake. I love that place.
I have to admit it, that burger looks delicious.
Sorry it didn't totally live up to its promise.
Hi Bob. Yes, I was here! Knew you'd know, so came back to fess up. Love the comments. Okay, I'm leaving. Sorry your burger wasn't as good as you'd hoped, but really, really glad it wasn't!!! Vegetarian one day a week baby. You're gonna love it.
Is it as beautiful in San Jose today as it is here? What a nice surprise after the last few days. Wow! Gotta go, only here to say "hey" because I'm doing a bit of research on Google, then more laundry ONE rose (after that, only 149 to go!).
Love ya,
XO
P.S. How's the fence?
You know me.....I LOVE MEAT! sorry Suz We had home made burgers for dinner tonight; quick and easy after a softball game. (Don't ask about the final score.)
Birthday? BIRTHDAY?!?!? BOB! Do tell!
QG~I adore you so much I forgive you. So who lost?!
Birthday. You're either a Pisces or a Capricorn. True?
XO
Ha Ha Ha... keep guessing.
Hi Bob!
Suz....we did....23-3. Not one of our better games, ya think?
fyi for those that know or care; WV was "havers" just like the character in J.R. Ward books. COOL!
23-3. Oh that's just nasty! Well, the good news...there's always next year.
Bob, okay, so this is the game we're playing. I know you're not a Leo. Well, all the hair on your legs could prove me wrong if you comb it properly, but I'm certain you're not a Leo. QG, is he a Leo? Nope. Okay, here are my next two guesses and one will be right (here's the rule: if I'm right you have to be honest).
Okay, 7 to go. I've decided not to pick two this time. I'm confident you're a Taurus. Very interesting. I smell wedding bells! And the initials are going to be K & JB or M & JB. Life is so perfect. *Starts baking ziti, arranging bouquets, ordering chairs and wedding invitations.* Apparently I'm your wedding planner. Will I have to wear a bra for that?
XO ;)
Silly woman, I don't think wearing a bra is a prerequisite for being a wedding planner.
This speculation on my birthday amuses me. I didn't know my life was a game. If it is, it needs to get a hell of a lot better real soon or I'm changing the channel to Nick at Nite.
Happy Birthday Bob!
What kind of cake do you like? You gotta tell me fast...no wait...having a newborn...he'll be sleeping all the time...I'll still have time!
I'm actually energized by this! Not. Giving. Up. :) Hope it is sun-shiny there and you are not about to get doomed upon with six to eight inches of snow!!! Happy day anyhow.
Johnny Rockets has very tasty vegetarian burgers, too. When I was pregnant, I worked in a place right over a mall (Pentagon City, actually) that had a Johnny Rockets and I would sometimes order a veggie burger with cheese, sauteed mushrooms, onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. MMMMMM.
oooooo we actually have a johhny rockets here in dubai - i love their malted strawberry shakes!
i should give a try to the smoke house single when i'm on my gluttony day - although its beef bacon instead of pork - islamic country and all. but then again, i'm muslim so its perfect for moi :)
Oh mah holy hell, I'd have to fast for a week if I ate that. ;-)
By the way, my verification here says muclogr.
Yum. Just... Yum
