Should I have had the Monsterburger?
For all the gleeful stories I told about the Monsterburger, I had not been face-to-face with one since I wrote about it. Well, coming back from Canada, our bus stopped off at a Hardee's.
If it had been at the beginning of the trip, I might have been more likely to do so. But I had eaten a lot of crap on this trip. I didn't even want Hardee's at that point, but I had no choice.
I started at the Monsterburger on the signage. It was impressive. But I couldn't do it, especially after we were warned not to go "number 2" in the bathroom on the bus. I certainly couldn't hold in what a Monsterburger would do to my intestines.
I opted for the bacon sourdough burger, a popular choice for me back when I had regular access to Hardee's. It was a lot healthier since I remember it last. It had real lettuce and red onion. And it didn't seem as greasy as I remember.
I also had to wait for the food to come up. During a brief bus stop, that could be bad. But we had time, so I didn't mind waiting. The woman behind the counter pointed out that "we make everything fresh when you order it." Amen to that. It did taste better than way.
