I gave in this evening and got carry-out from smashburger.
It was late, almost 9:00 and I hoped that "Anthony" wouldn't be working . . . but he was. Fortunately this time it wasn't awkward at all. He came out of the kitchen area and said "hi" and I said "hi" and he went back in the kitchen and that was the end of it.
What a relief.
However, the lady working the cash register sort of gave me the third degree, almost accusing me, saying, "you've been here before, haven't you? I'm sure I remember you." Well yes, I've been here before. Isn't that a good thing when a restaurant (or any business) has repeat customers?
Anyway, I ordered a small burger on a pretzel bun with blue cheese and haystack onions. I had a coupon code for a free side, so I decided to try the fried pickles with buttermilk dipping sauce. The burger was good; it probably would have been better if I had chosen some sort of sauce, maybe the smash sauce, because it was a little dry without mustard or some other condiment. The fried pickles were way too salty -- I won't order them again.
I doubt if I'll go back to smashburger on my own. Maybe G will want to check it out (they have a made-from-scratch veggie burger that's supposed to be very good) or I might get lunch there with a friend.
As much as I enjoy the food, I need to cut back on discretionary spending and high calorie splurges. Smashburger will have to be an occasional treat from here on out.
