Dying for a cheeseburger tonight, even if it's just a quarter pounder with cheese from McD's. Spent almost two weeks abroad, and while I adore both Cantonese & French cuisine, there's just nothing like a good ole American cheeseburger that hits the spot just right.

I'm at a work training near Hutchinson, Kansas for the next few days and stopped by a place called Skaets Steak Shop which opened in Hutch in 1949. They have all-day breakfast, which did sound good, though I chose a pork tenderloin sandwich which I haven't had in ten~ years. The meal was great and the staff very friendly.



Stopped by Dairy Queen for a chocolate dipped cone afterward.

Tonight's dinner was at El Patio in Hutchinson, Kansas. This is a family owned restaurant which moved from a food truck into the brick and mortar establishment before Covid.






I was offered refills of rice and beans, though I had to turn them down because I filled up on the meal. The salsas were excellent (not pictured was the spicy salsa and it, too, was delicious).

They were great! Not too well done and also not very salty!

Oh yes. There is a very large Hispanic community in Kansas and especially in western Kansas. Lots of authentic places scattered around the place.

the Mexican food looks great. I can imagine that it costs less than what it costs in my city (San Francisco).

Ok, now that's a continental breakfast I can go for! Not sure if I've ever had chocolate almond butter before, and really need to try it.

Bucket of clams. My 93 year old father in law wanted to go out to celebrate. He had an aortic valve replacement two weeks ago. His doctor released him from all restrictions yesterday. Hes tired of my healthy cooking, and no wine. Healthy meal from the previous night: grilled Cobia, asparagus and cantaloupe.

Costco poutine (remember if this is takeaway, once you get to the car, transfer the poutine to your own container... the cardboard they use starts to stick to the fries after a few minutes) and more garden salad.

He is 93 years old! Let him enjoy whatever he desires in his remaining time.
