Once again it is Foodie Friday hosted by Michael atDesigns by Gollum.
Be sure to stop by her charming blog to check out all of the other food offerings.
One year ago today, this is where we had lunch! Yes, that is Laduree in Paris, France. What a wonderful day that was with an exquisite lunch and a walk down the Avenue des Champs-Elysees.
The theme of Foodie Friday this week is "Trainwrecks". The only trainwreck in the Salmagundi kitchen is me - I have a terrible time thinking of things to cook. When that happens, one of our go-to places is BIG BURGER WORLD, an old-fashioned drive-in right out of the 1950s. Today, one year after Laduree, this was our place of choice for lunch.
You go up to the window to place your order, and when it is ready they call your number over the loud speaker. Everything is made to order on an old grill, and assembled fresh. As the name indicates, they have huge plate-sized burgers.
We always have the small burgers, then split a small order of hand-battered onion rings. They also have delicious made-from-scratch milkshakes & malts; this time of the year made with fresh strawberries. We resist those, however, as the burgers and rings are enough calories for the day!!
From Paris, France to Small Town, USA -- In both places, the food is special.

O my gosh, Sally...the very best burgers in the world are the ones made on those old grills! Yummy!
I haven't had onion rungs in a LONG time... I need to make or get some this weekend! Happy Foodie Friday! Have a great weekend ~ Susan
Oh, those onion rings! Oh, I'm starved! Yum!
XO,
Sheila :-)
I just knew before I read it that they had homemade milkshakes and malts! We used to eat grilled chili cheeseburgers, onion rings, and chocolate milkshakes on Sunday nights when we were in college...and then wonder why we felt sick ! :) Thanks for sharing this!
You are so funny. I love onion rings and those look wonderful.

Your burger stand reminds me of one that we love called Steve's Burgers in Hemet, CA just at the base of the San Jacinto mtns. It looks so much like your Burger World, just a drive thru with a couple of benches outside, but they have an extensive menu with the most outrageously good fried zucchini. They even have a chicken fried steak burger which is crazy good! Sometimes you can get the best food at the most inconspicuous joints!
Gotta love Big Burger World! Thanks for sharing.

Okay, now I am craving a good old fashioned hamburger and a big old basket of fries and rings. I will have to have Jacob buzz me over to our burger stand tonight. ~ Robyn
Onion rings! YUM!
Nothing wrong with a burger and rings once in a while. Yumm.
My irises are blooming right now too. Purple ones that smell exactly like grape koolaid or juice.

Good old American burgers are always the best! Toss in some onion rings and whoa!
That tablescape looks wonderful!

I have purple Siberian irises, but the pink ones in your blog header are so exquisite. I love pink flowers.
