This steak place was crammed with nurses in town for a convention, but even they couldn’t save an overdone cheeseburger that we ordered medium rare, but arrived without a trace of pink. And a replacement was just as DOA when it was delivered. The gracious (if overwhelmed) management did take the $7 happy-hour burger off the tab — but we still almost went into cardiac arrest when the bill came and we saw that the bar was charging $5.75 for a Coors Light….and $16.25 for a Grey Goose martini.

Nurse!

Can you guess where I’m (not) eating this burger?
