All this burger munching had me wondering...hey, where is our hostess? After that yummy burger, I scoped the crowd and took my time to digest the scene. While the scent of burgers had me eager to try some more, the lengthy lines stopped my adventure for a bit. And, during that time I wondered how many people actually get to try all these burgers. After paying a pretty penny of over $100 bucks, I surely hoped they got their cash back by gorging on as much as they could. Yet, as I spotted lines and more lines, I could almost sense that people were getting a teeny bit frustrated. And, if not with the lines, just the lack of seating and "propping" space. I, for one, was lucky to snag a spot to munch and avoid any spilling of the goodies.

My stream of thought was stopped by Miss Ray herself taking the microphone. "Welcome to the biggest Burger Bash ever," she said. "Please enjoy and have a great time!"

While blinded by photogs, Rachael mentioned that this is the first year a vegetarian burger was on the menu. Really? In my opinion, there should be more than one for all our veggie loving friends out there, but it's a start. I, for one, was glad to use up my "red meat once a week" card at this event (New Year's resolution...we'll see if I can keep it up!) and by the looks of the ever-growing crowd, I could tell I wasn't the only one.

Well, ready to eat meaty stuff at least. Who knows what they would think about my resolution.
