didn't know that hash browns were made out of potatos.
I think there was a period of childhood during which this was true of me too. Sometimes, you do better not to know what is in fast food; why should hash browns be any different?

egg and olive sandwiches
Never heard of these, but the local alternative to Italian Beef sandwiches on Lenten Fridays is egg and pepper sandwiches (also available at the Buona Beef restaurants and most other IB places). They aren't too bad.

Surprisingly, Carson's Ribs has really good burgers. As does Portillo's.

I am determined to go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse now that I'm living probably less than a mile from one.

OK, fuck it. I'm going to the Shake Shack. Maybe I'll just walk home.
I trekked up to Shake Shack for lunch today. Hardly any line!
Oh, that's good to know, bon. Was it lunch time for normal people? I was trying to decide how late to wait. Not that it's sitting-in-the-park-eating-lunch weather, or is likely to be tomorrow. I'll wear a coat.
