For you Miami, Los Angeles and I think Louisianna people, do make a pit stop at your local 8 Oz. Burger Bar. When in want of a well cooked and prepared burger (veggie or traditionally meatastic-wise), they will not disappoint. Note the $4 sides/drink happy hour deals, which off the top of my head come at $4 bottled beers/cocktails/wine and appetizers (hummus & pita, fries, fried olives) from at least 4 to 7 PM.

My reason for this post, however, comes directly from their current special: the $12 “Fall Classic” grilled turkey burger—a prequel to Thanksgiving: a grilled turkey burger (or optionally fried), filled with stuffing, persimmon relish…and in the words of a dear friend, “juicy yum yums.” It is, or rather was, my treat to myself after much success from a full day (of school/work). But the treat was all mine having escalated my recent memory of happy burger memories to a whole new ridiculous level. Thank you, 8 Oz. and its staff! <3
