Ever since my mom, Wendi, started her blog last year in July, my parents (Bobby and Wendi) go away a lot on day trips. Sometimes they take me to my grandma's and grandpa's, (Bud and Dolores), but often they make me stay at home. Don't get me wrong, I like my home.

It was years ago before chefs raised the level of burgers to an art form. However, a friend of mine, Frank Yost, loves the place and posts photos on Facebook whenever he eats there or stops in for a happy hour milkshake.
