Burgermania

Flirting with obsession, our critic went forth on the quest for the perfect cheeseburger. And he sings about it.

Cheeseburger, I hold

You melt into mine

 

All my life, I've been a burger chaser

That perfect simple sandwich shouldn't be so hard to find

But how many times have I been sorry, after just one bite

To find a fraud between the buns

The patty smashers! (No juice! No juice!)

The topping fools! (Pile the pink tomatoes on!)

The fast-food stand-ins for good old-school

So when the grinder's gift hears that charcoal song

Lay your best Roquefort and crisp bacon on!

 

CHORUS

 

I remember: Krazy Jim's Blimpy Burgers, Mo's in Frisco, In-N-Out

Barclay's sliders, Rouge's biggies, on the Boardwalk I love Brown's

Burger Heaven in Manhattan, Tommy's Westwood chile bombs

Midnight snacks at the Camellia, in the Quarter Port of Call

But then the Good Dog Bar turned my patties inside out
