Red Robin (Burnaby) Birthday Burger

Red Robin Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato Back to Red Robin for yet another free Birthday Burger! Easy peasy this time -- our waitress said any burger would qualify. She even steered us away from the Tavern Burgers because they were "cheap".
For a change, instead of plain bottomless fries I went with the garlic fries upgrade. My friend who came out with me got a Madlove Burger on her own dime.

The Southern Charm Burger ($16.99) brown sugar glaze, candied bacon, Whiskey River BBQ Sauce, cheddar, caramelized onions, shredded romaine and mayo on a toasted brioche bun
  • Bun was good. Soft, slightly sweet. It compresses very easily, but there's no so much bread to get in the way of tasting the actual burger. The light toasting also added a little something to the overall flavour.
  • Had to review my pictures to find the caramelized onion. Oh look! There's a small ring. Needless to say the flavour didn't come through at all.
  • Candied bacon not very sweet and not very bacon salty either.
  • As burgers go, this felt kind of boring. Basically it's a burger slathered with admittedly pretty tasty BBQ sauce.
  • As premium burgers go, it also seemed kind of small / not very tall.
  • Tasty, sure. Special? No. Certainly not special enough for basically $17 but if you can't find anything more interesting on the menu, it's still safe to go with tasty.
Garlic Fries upgrade (+$2.29)
  • I was initially worried this would just be fries powdered with garlic powder. Turns out it's actually butter-fried garlic. Lightly fried so as not to be browned.
  • This might actually have been a worthwhile upgrade except they didn't seem to have tossed the fries in the garlic butter at all. All the garlic and butter sat on the bottom of the plate, which made it really hard to access with the fries. So it was basically still fries. And if you worked at it you scooped up a bit of the garlic and butter onto your fry.
  • Total waste of time (and money).
Pleasant friendly service as usual, nothing different except all the staff were wearing facemasks because of the Covid scare.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines).

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
