Johnny Steams Yankee Burger

Last Friday, my friend D drove us to Mercato because my friends are awesome and have made it their mission to keep me distracted from the boards and to keep my tummy food-filled and butterfly-free.

I think I just found my favorite burger.

Johnny Steams Yankee Burger

I found Johnny Steams a few months ago, and I was hooked when I tried their Chili Cheese Burger. Super yummy!!!

Around three weeks back I was so depressed when I thought they were no longer at Midnight Mercato. Turns out I just didn't see them because they didn't have their huge tarp. Hehehe.

Tried the highly recommended Yankee Burger this time, and my first impression was: Maaaan, this burger is weird. It smelled like a peanut butter sandwich. It had bacon. And there was cheese and peanut butter dripping down the sides, making the burger look like a breakfast experiment gone horribly wrong. I was scared to take a bite, but wow, when I did, I was amazed at how well everything went together. Nyamnyamnyam. CHOMP!

I'm calling it the Ironic Burger. Beef patty cooked right + everything else that can give you a heart attack! :P

A Place for Happy Tummies Part III: Return to Midnight Mercato

Last Friday Maits and I went back to Midnight Mercato for a friday food-date. It was a fail on so many levels: rain, people we didn't want to see, people we didn't see hahaha, but you can't feel bad for too long when surrounded by so much food!

The plan was to finally get that spam musubi and try out other stuff we hadn't before, which left out a lot of choices (you can read about my other Mercato picks here). As I was looking longingly at the Guactruck truck (hey that's really fun to say), the words "steamed burgers" caught the periphery of my eye. Say what?
