I am not a vegetarian.

But I do love me some veggie burgers.

I am not a vegetarian.

I'm not a vegetarian but I love veggie burgers.

One day a week, I eat vegetarianly, one day a week I pretend I'm vegan, and most days I eat fish or chicken. Beef is relegated to “someone bought this cut of beef directly from the butcher and is a master on the grill/air fryer/skillet/oven”.

I digress.

I worked super hard in my yard until the 90°F heat said, No more! Showered, changed and went to Hamtramck's California Burgerz—with a z.

Now, I like pickles on my burger. I expressed this by explaining to the gentleman behind the counter that I wanted “A lot of pickles. Nope, more. Imagine a pickle burger with a veggie patty in it, then add more”.

It's really difficult to photograph food in an appetizing way but I wanted you to see that I really did eat this deliciousness.

And they got it exactly right-not too many pickles to make the sandwich soggy, but enough to clear the “extra pickle” hurdle, with a good balance of the other condiments and dressings.

Do you enjoy your food thusly?
