Tomball's Mega Mel Burger, July 5th, 2008

Stop at Mel's Country Cafe in Tomball, TX

Alex says, "Get the Mega Mel, Daddy!"

Daddy wants to make little girl happy!

1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 lbs bacon, 1/4 lbs cheese &
a pile of lettuce, pickles, tomatoes & onions
for the low, low price of $19.99!

Holy Cow!   That is one big burger, Poppa!
It is almost as big as me!

Gently lower the stack & begin disassembly

Start the two hour clock, it is time to begin

The first taste is a tomato slice

David starts the stuffing   (2¢)

Mix in some salad with every bite of meat

David is still going strong with 2/3rds to go

Halfway done in only 30 minutes

David hits the wall with one patty left

Somehow, choke down all the meat . . .

Until there is only one large bite left

Confidence is the feeling you have
before you understand the situation

On 2nd thought, I think I'll just finish the meat & pass
on the onion/lettuce pile at the 45 minute mark   (2¢)

With 75 minutes remaining, I might be able to
down a whole onion & head of soppy lettuce

Maybe some ranch dressing or adorable baby
kisses would help subdue the nausea

But I won't make Alex & Nena sit through that,
and they are mighty happy about it!

I'll try the extra patty & less veggies option next time
and then sign the Mel's Wall of Honor!   (2¢)



Yo, buddy!   Whatsamadda with you?   Eat more chicken!
