Olive Burgers = Mana from Heaven
A friend of mine suggested that I refrain from writing about the mundane. So, being a good listener, I'm writing about an olive burger. In my defense, there is nothing mundane about this particular olive burger.
I've lived in Lansing a long time and have never been to Dagwood's Bar & Grille. Don and I ate dinner there last evening, mainly for me to try their olive burger. We each had one, then in an example of total a submission to cholesterol and greasy goodness, we each ordered another. Don was right, they were great. It's certainly true that food that is the worst for you does in fact taste the best. Whatever artery clogging that is certainly taking place was well worth it. Eh, I'll probably go to Dagwood's after my angioplasti to celebrate with those glorious burgers. If you get the chance I would highly recommend stopping there. Those of you who no longer live in Lansing, I'm sure you can find a good olive burger wherever you live, not sure it would be as good though.
Dag's (I've been there once and now I can shorten the name like I've been going there for years) is not a place for kids though. If I had asked for a kids menu, they probably would have brought me a shot of Wild Turkey, with no crayons even. But, it does have plenty of atmosphere and was a lot cleaner that I thought it would be. Along with the heavenly olive burgers the conversation was great, the waitress was cute, which all makes for an evening well spent.

I don't recall you mentioning this. Snooty? C'mon you're a card carrying member of that club too. You won't even go to Chuckie Cheese's. Hi Kettle? This is the Pot calling...
Ok, I have to ask...
What is exactly in an olive burger? My initial thought was that it had sliced green olives all over it much like a mushroom burger... Then I thought, wait they come in black too... Or maybe some obscure bar fly decided that grinding up olives and shaping them into burgers would be a cool thing to do after three shots of Jack...
I find this to be the least likely of my thoughts.
It's green olives chopped up in mayo to from a spread. You slap that on a hamburger and you have an olive burger. It's sex on a bun. Really.
Whoa... I don't know that we have such delicacies out here on Long Island...
I think they do that with clams here...
Haven't tried it...
Sing along everybody!!
"I like clams their mushy. I like clams their mushy. They melt in your mouth. Yeah they melt in your mouth."
Clamato - every single time I see it in the grocery store I can't help but stare at it. Who would drink this? Is clam juice so yummy that you would want to have a casual beverage with it? You know I'm not hungry right now, but I would like some juice that has been wrung out of some fresh bottom-feeding mollusks. Now that's refreshing!
Ewwwww(shiver)wwww(shiver)...
Funny stuff. Not to mention that Clamato just sounds like a really nasty venereal disease.
Driven by my facination with this 'drink', I've visited the website.

Man are they ever excited about clam juice. Ugh.
I'm just happy that my blog can bring people together to discuss good times and great memories.
Next up, bringing people together with no clothes on. That's right - Will The Thrill: CyberPimp Extraordinaire. All in good time kiddies, all in good time...
My guess would be to make me throw-up a little in my mouth. Jesus, is there a juice that hasn't been canned? Stop with the juicing already!!
Hey! The less I know about Matt's juices the better. At least you can cop a buzz with the Irish variety...
