Pot Roast, the way my mother made it (And now I do) using vinegar instead of water.

sigh... unobtainable here...Maryland bluecrabs steamed in beer and Old Bay™ seasoning with National Bo beer ( I was in my late teens before I knew that crabsnbeer wasn't one word) - or a pan-fried softcrab sandwich...sigh

Does life get any better than a soft shell crab sandwich? No, it doesn't. 8 dangling appendages hanging out of the bun. Yeow!

Souvlaki on a pita, from back when grandmothers could still fry at home.

Burgers are mine, although that depends on the season. A good gumbo is comfort food for sure.

When I got to my target weight, I started going to nice burger places for lunch Fridays. My last city had a sport a handful of craft burger places. I'd mind the diet by getting slaw instead of fries. When I moved where I live now, there are less but decent.

I was out with the girl for lunch one day and we hit a little home cooking place (specializes in pies) and I got a burger that looks just like the one in your pic. That brought me back. And truth be told, it was better than the foo-foo craft places.

There's a reason I'm known as 'Mr. Nine AM Cheeseburger' at a certain local diner.

Circa 1960, Mulvane, Kansas. Aunt Virgie gave me a $1 bill to take my younger cousins, Danny, Nancy and Terry to dinner of a burger, fries and a glass of soda at the only diner in town on Main St. After the meal, I proudly gave the dollar bill to the cashier. Our meals had cost 25¢ apiece. The cashier smiled and said, "I have the 3¢ tax covered, Sweetheart." What did I know of finance? But what an experience...the meal and kindness. Never forgot it.
