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.
