On Saturday, after we left the car show, we went to visit the Heart Attack grille. Not a really good day for a visit, as it was crowded with lots of out of town visitors due to NFL game as well as the Fiesta Bowl the next day. The menu is written on the wall, with a choice of a single bypass burger to a double, triple and a quadruple bypass with 4 half pound burgers plus cheese, etc. They also have fries, coke in the bottle, beer and a couple of mixed drinks. Nothing healthy and everything cooked in pure lard. No lettuce, only cheese, pickles, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and sliced onions for the burgers.
The waitresses were in rather scanty nurses uniforms, a bit revealing, but that is a part of the atmosphere. You can have your photo with your waitress, if you like and even with the doctor, if you like.
The food is quite tasty and hot. You can watch the fries being processed. The potatoes come out of their shipping box, into the slicer and into the hot lard, in that order. Wash the potatoes? Maybe if they got washed after they were taken from the ground and put in the shipping box, but not at the Heart Attack Grille. However I am sure the hot lard would sterilize the potatoes? Delicious, however they were fixed.
Sunday afternoon we cooked chicken on the grille and had a nice meal and relaxed the rest of the day.
Monday, Nancy and I went shopping, to the bank and ran some other errands.
Tuesday, we met with the Mesa Lunch Bunch, a group of friends, mostly members of the Handicapped Travel Club, at the IronWorks restaurant in Glendale, north of Phoenix. A nice restaurant, on a golf course and some very good food. I had fish, with fries and coleslaw, which was quite tasty, however I missed those fries cooked in lard. They just did not have that natural flavor. Back home about 4pm, a short nap and then a bite to eat and watch tv for the rest of the evening.
We are planning on leaving Friday for the Quartzsite area for the hamfest next week and then on toward Yuma for a week or so. Who knows from there, only time will tell.
