When you live in the US of A, you start taking some parts of its great cultural heritage for granted. I am talking about the Burger Joints, in all there varieties, from In-N-Out to Five Guys and many, many more. A good burger is not hard to find, and one gets complacent.
Here in the middle Kingdom, the matter is an entirely different one. While wonton soup and fried rice are everywhere you look, burgers are not. There are McDonalds and KFCs at at least every street corner, but they just can satisfy the craving. We had a fever, and the only cure was a juicy, delicious hamburger.
But even the smog clouds that fill the streets and sky have a silver lining. We indeed found a restaurant, with the late-night-jazz-club sounding name "Blue Frog", that acts as a bar and hamburger joint. As if things could not get any better, we learned that on Mondays, a wonderful thing was happening in the hallowed halls of the Blue Frog. The deal on Mondays was, "buy one hamburger and a drink, get another hamburger free!" This included fries for each. I know! That is a great deal!
I will cut to the chase here. The burgers were absolutely delicious. The chocolate shake we shared was wonderful. The Blue Frog is an amazing place to gather together with other friends and enjoy the finest of American cuisine, which we have done a couple of times by now.
That's all folks! Thanks for sharing our joy with us!
