Backyard Burgers in Erie

A Backyard Burgers franchise just opened yesterday on Peninsula Drive... Since Tiffany burned the hot dogs last night on the grill so she offered to take me there for dinner.

(Our joke normally is if I try something adventurous when cooking and it turns out terrible, I have to get us Burger King, so since Tiff was cooking this time, the tables were turned...)

The verdict?

Eh.... It's higher quality, higher priced fast food, but it's still fast food. Our burgers both tasted overdone and oversalted. (The burgers were actually thick enough to notice what temperature they were cooked at. Unlike most fast food where you kind of wonder what you're really eating - you could recognize these burgers as former cow.) Tiffany liked the waffle fries - I thought the seasoned fries were passible.

They had some different varieties of burgers, hot dogs, and chicken sandwiches, so we may give them another try after they get a chance to straighten things out.
