A Date Night with Burgers 'n' Fries

Wife hasn't really had many of the"cravings" that I always hear that pregnant women experience. I have been waiting for requests of peanut butter and ketchup sandwiches - hasn't happened. She has however become quite a fan of cheeseburgers and hamburgers. This evening, we went on an excursion to Donovan's in Queens to enjoy what has been voted the best burger in New York. I think wife would agree with that vote.

After a thirty minute subway ride, we found ourselves enjoying what Wife has dubbed, "The best meal ever." The burger is a carnivore's dream -- thick, juicy, meaty, sandwiched by two slices of American and a toasted sesame seed bun. On the side, it comes with a hunk of iceberg lettuce, a slice of tomato and french fries that are more like potatoes thick potato wedges.

Wife refused to stick the vegetables in her burger, instead choosing to eat them as a small side salad. She didn't want anything to distract from the flavor of the burger. If you knew Wife a few years back, I'm sure you're reading this post (and especially that last sentence) with a bit of skepticism and disbelief.
