Smash Burger, here we come.....

We're off and running. Everyone who is joining us for our trip to Smash Burger, we will be at the Smash Burger location on Kirby and Main at 5pm on Saturday, January 31st. Looking forward to seeing everyone there and, yes, I am bringing my camera, so be ready!

And we try again.....

Saturday the 31st at the Smash Burger at Kirby and Main (time still needs to be decided). That is our next attempt at starting the Hamburger odyssey. Hope to see everyone there.

Ouch....

big crash and burn this weekend as it was a no-go meeting up at Smash Burger. We are in the process of planning a new data and time for our meetup. Will update when that is solid.

Day and Time Change/Suggestion....

What about Sunday around 1pm?

Kick this tour off...

Let's try Saturday around 1pm. Place will be decided by Friday at noon. Does that work for everyone?

ok, my choice for the first stop is.....

I just read the review for the SmashBurger place on Kirby and Main and there is a burger with a fried egg and bacon with my name on it waiting for me (also waiting for me will be the cardiologist at the emergency room). The link goes to the review.

By the way....

...the name of the club is still up for grabs. I put one here for the time being and to get this started, but as I did not check with my wife, this is of course subject to change. So, in addition to burger suggestions, I am also looking for a name for this group/blog and all serious (and most of the non-serious) suggestions will be reviewed.

How it started....

Never get me started talking about food (or movies for that matter). Once I start, you better be comfortable and settled in for the long haul. As it happened, I had joined my beautiful wife and her lovely friends for their Christmas lunch. As the conversation danced from one topic to the next, we somehow landed on the the topic of the arrival of a few new burger chains to the Houston area. Though we were midway through our respective amazing lunches, we nevertheless drooled as we described either our own favorite (dream) burgers, or the burgers served at some of the newer eateries. As we kept getting more and more animated about this discussion and our mutual love for the simple burger, our friend Kimberly suggested (or maybe demanded; we were in a burger daze, so it could have been either) that we take the time in the coming year to make a pilgrimage, a tour, a gastronomical super trip through the magical, mystical Houston establishments that serve that wonderful treat; the hamburger.

So here we are; a list of suggestions has been sent out, wish-list places identified (some of them, at least), and a blog created. So when and where is our first stop?

I'll tell as soon as we decide. Till then, throw me your favorites.
