THE HAMBURGER

I usually don't eat fast foods but when I travel I enjoy a burger on the road.  Last week I went to Panama City Beach to visit family.  I like to stop at Hardy's because their burgers are very good.  I couldn't find one so I thought I would try a Krystal burger in Troy, Alabama.

There was no one at the counter and only two people in the back.  There were two other employees in the dining room chit-chatting and one outside smoking.  I assumed they were on break.  Finally after 8 or 9 minutes someone from the back came out and took my order.  I ordered a double bacon cheese burger.  The counter person disappeared again and I saw my order come up to be bagged.  Another 5 or 6 minutes went by and I finally flagged the drive up person to get my order.  What an ordeal.

When I got back to my RV to eat it, I found it was just a plain hamburger.  The order was wrong and I was so mad but I didn't want to go back in so I just ate it.  Krystal HQ will hear about this one!

On the way back from Florida I again wanted a Hardy's burger but again could not find one easily accessible with my 31 foot RV.  I saw a Burger King on my side of the road, and I did like the Whopper so I stopped there.  When I got to the counter they told me their grill was down and they could only offer two types of Chicken sandwiches. Jeez, I just want a burger!!!  Not wanting to stop again I got a chicken sandwich.

As I pulled out of the parking lot, I saw a Hardy's next Door.  Man, I just can't WIN!  What's a guy got to do to get a decent hamburger?

I better start marking the Hardy's with my GPS unit so I can find them the next time.

FOOT NOTE:  When I was in Florida I had a fantastic burger and the best fries I ever had at Five Guys Burgers and Fries.  I wish there was one of them around here.
