Kind of a letdown for lunch today. Let me give you a little background info first.
There used to be this small chain of restaurants in West Michigan, mostly the immediate Grand Rapids area, called
Mr. Fables. The last one closed in 2000. It was primarily a hamburger joint, but they served up other things as well. What I loved was the Mr. Fabulous burger. It was their double beef olive burger with a special mayonnaise (read: secret recipe mayo), cheese, lettuce, and tomato. I have these flashback cravings for them every once and awhile and today I wanted to see if I could satisfy that desire.
I hadn't been to the
Red Hot Inn in a long time, but recently a friend told me they had a great olive burger. So, I tried to give this local burger joint a try to see if their olive burger could hold a candle to the Mr. Fabulous burger. Well, it didn't even compare to Mr. Fables' Mr. Fabulous burger, and there is no comparison, the candle was snuffed out. Now, most likely, I will have to go through the rest of my life with this unfulfilled and unsatisfied hole in my mind and belly.
Disappointing lunch today.
