Tony has been trapped in the house for the past two weeks. He's been working really hard. He cleaned up and I decided it was time for a road trip. Matthew and I recently watched an episode on the Travel Channel about the birthplace of the original hamburger sandwich. It originated in a place called Louis' Lunch in 1900 and is located in New Haven. What the heck. Distance never stopped me from getting to food. We hopped in the car and drove up to New Haven to grab dinner.Louis' Lunch is a very small establishment. There is one catch. You don't get any ketchup or fries with the burger. It is still made in the original equipment from 1895. The burger is grilled in an original cast iron grill and served between two slices of white toast. The only acceptable garnish is cheese, tomato and onion. Ask for ketchup and you will be thrown out of the establishment. We arrived and found people all over the place. You may get potato salad or dirty chips as your side. We ordered the burgers we wanted and found seats and waited patiently for our food. The burgers were good. So good that Tony and Matthew had seconds.
