mmm-yoso is not on vacation. It’s time for Cathy to blog about burgers…and goodies while Kirk takes a day off.
Hi again. It’s still burger week and I’ve got a good one for you. 
Yep, Beef ‘n Bun, over there on Fletcher Parkway…been there forever it seems. They have a simple menu.
Burgers, shakes, combos. The occasional chicken sandwich and…sides.
OK, what I *really* get here, in the summer is very simple: The large chocolate peanut butter shake ($2.95)-
where, if you don’t finish it, and it actually makes it home, the peanut butter settles to the bottom of the cup…(you have to order it as a ‘for here’ in order to get this much whipped cream, if it’s ‘to go’ , a lid gets slapped on top of it and it just isn’t as much fun..at all)and the side of zucchini ($1.85)
Yes, there are 5 (five) big old wedges of a zucchini, fried in a light batter and topped with Parmesan and served with a side of ranch dressing, and its *only* $1.85.
Oh, this is a Burger post. Sorry. The half pounder is two quarter pound burgers and costs $3.19.
Its served with the usual-lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and a nice sauce. Always juicy and on a cornmeal topped roll that is fresh. Cheese is extra. Yet, if you order the Monster Burger, 
it only costs $3.99, has another quarter pound burger added and cheese is included…hmmm..I can save money ordering this one. No, really… unless you count the tummy ache the next morning and the new wardrobe necessary after eating here too often.
The food here is always fresh made for you (the fries are nothing to write home about, just the standard crinkle cut ones), the burgers are great, the shakes are so darn good (shake of the month is Egg Nog right now)and its just a nice, old fashioned burger joint.
There are weekly meetings with Antique Car Collectors in the parking lot in the summer and its a great neighborhood hangout. If you happen to come by here in the morning, those potato cakes for $1.29 are the most wonderful, creamy, cheesy, herb-y delightful morsels….
