Cheeseburgers & Ice Cream!

Gilbert’s 17th Street Grill




I've always considered Gilbert's 17th Street grill one of the better places for a good cheeseburger but I found myself disappointed this time.

I won't make a big deal out of getting Sweet Potato fries for regular French fries as that could have been quickly fixed if I had wanted to change but it wasn't an important item for me.

The burger itself was thick on a small bun, medium-rare as I ordered, and by the time the cheese, lettuce, tomato and the slice of onion I requested it was too thick to take a reasonable bite. The burger flattened a little and put on a slightly larger, not thicker, bun would have been a lot better to deal with.
Removing the top part of the bun, using and knife and fork it was a good meal but not a cheeseburger! :O)

By the way, the 'runner-busboy-server was excellent!



Cold Stone Creamery

Haven't been here for awhile so decided to go in for an ice cream. There were 4 customers in front of me and 2 came in right after I did.

Looking over the selections---many as usual--I decided to have one of the'Signature Creations' called Chocolate Devotion consisting of chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips, brownie bits and fudge served in a waffle cup with chocolate around the edge but I had it in a plain cup.

Could have done without the last 2 items in it but it took care of my chocolate 'fix' for a few days!

There was one person behind the counter and she was doing it all--waiting on 8 people, making their orders, working the register---with a smile!

I dine out maybe 3 times a year, including fast food. Last month Mr. TBend flew here for the weekend to help me buy a new truck, and we ate in restaurants two times. I was disappointed both times - poorly prepared food - but I think he liked what he ordered, so I didn't say anything.

I think if we went out more often, there'd be more opportunities for some great meals, and it would balance out.

If I could afford it I would eat out 3 meals a day, 7 days a week but I settle for just Thursday and Friday lunches out!
