There are a number of things that made today strange:

  • The temperature hit 70 degrees F in mid-February
  • Someone other than me made me dinner
  • I ate at a place I had never been to before
  • I went out for a few hours with no children attached to me
  • The total cost of my dinner was $3.75, including a cheeseburger and fries, seltzer water and a slice of homemade pumpkin pie
  • Did I mention I went out this evening?

This evening landed me in a local establishment on what happened to be 1/2 price burger night. It may seem to you as if all I eat is cheeseburgers, when in fact, I think I can safely say I ingest on average no more than two cheeseburgers per month, if that. Its just that when I do manage to get out of the house for food, I tend to favor red meat rather than the stuff I make at home. But enough of my cheeseburger miasma. On with the story of how I managed to get a whole, big dinner for less than $4.00.

I recommend Sunday or Wednesday nights at "The Hollow" as burgers are half price. My burger, including a good pickle, fresh slaw, and potatoey fries along with a soda water and a slice of incredible pumpkin pie (which was offered for free because of peculiar shape and whipped cream assemblage atop) for $3.75. I don't think I have ever had food prepared for me so inexpensively, especially in this serving size with free pie and seltzer. I am truly torn between keeping this little gem a secret and sharing with you, but it isn't as if nobody has written about or gone to The Hollow before. It was packed when my friend and I strolled in. If I were you, I'd take someone you love for a cheap hamburger and split a slice of pie while you are at it. You won't be sorry.
