Danger is everywhere

I seem to remember a movie called "Mother May I Sleep with Danger?"  I'm sort of hazy about the plot, but judging from the title, danger was involved.

I don't intend to ever sleep with danger, but I'm pretty sure I ate lunch with it today -- and I didn't even think to ask my mom for permission first.

I planned to go to Wendy's for lunch because I had a coupon for a free hamburger with the purchase of fries and a drink.  It's been a long time since I've eaten at Wendy's and I figured it was a good chance to check out the new and improved Hot 'n Juicy cheeseburger for free (almost).

As I waited at the stoplight across from Wendy's, I noticed a banner to my right that announced the grand opening of smashburger.

Oh. My. Goodness.  I have been waiting very impatiently for smashburger to open at this location.

So let's see -- eat at Wendy's (for mere pennies) or try the new kid on the block and spend way more?  Safe and affordable lost out to the allure of something new, dare I say, something dangerous.

My smashburger was amazing.  I ordered the BBQ, Bacon & Cheddar.  It comes on a buttered and toasted egg bun with crispy onion strings.  I also ordered fries and a coke.  Unfortunately I didn't pay close enough attention to the helpful, but clearly nervous girl who took my order and I ended up with regular French fries instead of the smashfries I really wanted -- fries tossed with olive oil, rosemary, and garlic.

Oh well, I guess that little slip up is just an excuse a good reason to return.  Would tomorrow for lunch be too soon?
