I complimented the FC FA for wearing a white shirt rather than the anything-but-easy-on-the-eyes new striped numbers. He thanked me and said said the other guys don't much like them either, but there's a new solid tie that might make for less of a clash.

Report on Smashburger at EWR:
fast fairly cheerful service
burger itself (100% Certified Angus Beef) was fine,
almost indistinguishable from 5 Guys', perhaps a
little less greasy
toppings exemplary
egg bun squishy but all right (several other choices
of bread, including onion roll, which I'll try next time)
Smash Sauce appeared to be mostly mayo and
mustard, but it got squashed in with the onions
so I can't be sure.
Didn't try fries or anything else.
$5.34.

Would someone kindly provide directions to the famed burger joint somewhere between my two airports?

All other burger options absolutely pale against Lunchbox Laboratory.
I can never eat a burger anywhere else ever again.
Thanks, Missy, for forever ruining me for burgers.
