The Hamberdog vs a Girly Man's Double Double

Yesterday after Big Red left, we went about our usual Saturday routine which includes lunch at the Burger House.  We usually hit the one on Lovers Lane, sit at the counter inside, and eat the grilled chicken salad sans fries, with a diet coke.  Pancho always takes our order, and Jose', if he's there, always holler out "Hello, Caroline and Bruce!" and sometimes Pancho just says "the usual?", and we nod.  Jose' knows everyone by name is and like some kind of order taking savant when it comes to names. We love the BH, it works, and it keeps us on our diet.  Yesterday, though, Pancho wanted to know if we just didn't like burgers, since we always order the salads.  Fred and I rolled our eyes and told him one of the main reasons we like to come inside and sit at the counter, is so we can see all the burgers that some lucky person is going to get to eat, that's NOT us.  We told him we're due for a splurge here pretty soon and since he's the milkshake guy, we may just throw him a bone, too.  Then Jose' chimes in with "Well... then you all need to try the Hamberdog".  OMG.

To put it simply, a Hamberdog is a gluttonous combo of a double- double, and two slit down the middle open faced dogs, all between one burger bun.  It's your call if you want to add grilled onion, chili, jalapenos, or bacon.  I guess you lift it with a crane, and fries are extra.  We asked Jose' if he sells many and he said they did at first, but I guess those people died, since he told us orders have tapered off.  We love to listen to people's pick up orders, too, and the one that got us yesterday was the person who called in, to the BURGER HOUSE, and ordered a single grilled cheese sandwich, on a burger bun.  No fries, no drink.  A grilled cheese, thank you very much.  Honey...could you not fix that at home?  Fred and I almost fell of our stools, laughing.

Lastly, Fred just had to know the biggest meat-cheese burger they've ever sold that someone has successfully consumed, and as of yesterday, it was a 28x28.  That's 28 meat patties and 28 slices of cheese, stacked in two stacks, side by side, with a bun, served in one of their red baskets.  I bet that person didn't eat again for a week.
