comments: we ate our lunch in the 'theatre' room at work. which made for a bunch of blurry photos. so you see no more of them. but here's ritchie's lunch. crazy looking. I asked him what it was and here's what he had to say:
me: whoah
what the hell is that?!
Ritchie: squeezeburger
it's a hamburger with a cheese skirt
me: emplain
explain
Ritchie: they put a patty on the grill
and then a 12" circle of cheese
on top
the cheese frys on the griddle
and gets all crispy where it isn't on the meat
then somehow they get it off and put it in a burger
it's delicious
