I have no guilt about the crappy food I eat. We have a place here that serves a loose meat burger like nu-way. It was part of a chain called "Maid-Right" but they recently went independent. I really love the burgers. It's a scrupulously clean place all decorated in bright fun '50s retro. Too bad the owners are a bit unsettling. They are apparently extreme religious-right in this very liberal town and they seem to have a permanent expression of just having swallowed a cheese grater.
