When you have a meal
so amazing that your hunger is satisfied for the entire day, and that is exactly
the experience I had this week at The Optimist. Forgive me for saying
it so soon in this blog, but it was A-MAZ-ING! The burger melted in my mouth
from the first bite. Maybe it is because they put frozen butter between the patties
when they are on the grill? They then
top it off with grilled onions, white cheese and their special house sauce. The fries were also good and when you paired
them with the burger it was heaven in each bite. If I had to find one negative,
I would say that the fries are a little too skinny for my personal taste, but
they still taste great. They sprinkle Old Bay seasoning on top of the fries
which gives them a mild spicy taste.

The overall
experience at The Optimist was good as well. I went around 1 pm and the place
was full, but not packed; service was great. When I was seated, and asked the
server if the burger was as good as I had been told, it was like they were letting
me in on the big secret and told me that they cooked the patties with butter
between them. From my experience over the last two weeks, I can say it is true;
Butter makes it better!

I want to correct
something I mentioned in my last post, The Optimist burger was $13 for the
burger, and the fries are an additional $6.50, so this is a $20 lunch. The
Optimist burger is for sure a five Gold
Burger, and if I had known it was this fabulous I would had gone sooner!
