Boll Weevil. The real one.

mmm-yoso!!! is a blog about food.  Kirk usually writes, except he is on vacation. Sometimes, ed (from Yuma) writes, but he is kind of on a vacation right now. So Cathy is writing, just to keep you looking while you wait in anticipation for Kirk's return.  

Hi.  I'm still here.  I ate.  At one of the few remaining Boll Weevils in town. Most have closed, but are  in the same location, a darn good copycat has appeared  Kitty corner from the Registrar of Voters (in the same parking lot as Khan's Cave) is Boll Weevil. Kirk has posted on this location and He did not like it.    I knew what I crave and wanted to see if my 'usual' order tasted the same as I remembered.022
  The interior of this location (NW corner of Clairmont Mesa and Ruffin) is quite large.  There are four televisions, two pool tables and an added on covered patio, seen in this photo, above.
The traditional tray o' condiments is the same.  A bit more of a selection -two mustards, tabasco-regular and smoked. 009
The container in front is a mix of mustard, mayonnaise and relish; something which goes perfectly with the burgers. At least I think so.

We perused the menu, noting the various possible selections. Toppings of  bacon, various cheeses, mushrooms, BBQ sauce…all sorts of variations of toppings for burgers, chicken patties, Reuben sandwiches, salads…Broasted ™ chicken , smoked ribs.  Then we ordered pretty much what we always do. 013
The 1/2 pound Steerburger, with cheese. Medium rare. ($5.39)012
A small side of "Crings" curly fries and onion rings ($4.29). The onions are whole, battered in a mix which includes cornmeal; not those diced premade weird ones… The curly fries are OK, nothing to write about. 010
My 1/2 pound plain Steerburger,  rare ($4.99). The patty is not a frozen one.  It is shaped here from fresh, flavorful ground beef, lightly seasoned.015
It was juicy. 017
Cooked rare.  Very rare…

The basic burger.  None of the fancy stuff.  None of the fancy toppings. No fancy sauce. Not even lettuce or tomatoes.  Happy Happy. Good Good.
