Delicious Burgers like Harve used to make!! (A GFW thing!)


Well,you can't beat coming home to a quick and delicious meal that's also comforting! All you need is ground beef, lots of onions, salt and pepper and I also added a touch of chili powder to mine. Then voila, the most fabulous burger in minutes!

Every town has their favorite little restaurant where the locals think is the best that there is to offer and Grand Falls-Windsor is no exception! I remember growing up and going to Harve's Take-out on Grenfell Heights where they served loose meat burgers out of a little tiny place that I don't think could fit any more than three or four people at a time. You had to place your order, go back to your vehicle (to make room for other customers!LOL) and go back a few minutes later and you were given a tray to bring your "messes" or "states" out to your vehicle to eat. I even remember the color of the trays and the feeling I'd get when it was time to go inside the little building that seemed to be 5x5 at the most to return them and I knew it would be a while before we returned again!

Time changes things though. For example, driving down to Harve's Take-out seemed so far away and the drive was totally part of the experience, but now a drive down the same street is cluttered with houses, side streets and so on.... Harve's actually had to be rebuilt a few years (quite a few now) due to a fire and the support in the community was amazing! Certain things can change, but the basics have to stay the same and my loose meat burger was simple, basic and fantastic!!

BTW, did anyone notice that it was Tina cooking tonight instead of Jamie?LOL Seriously though, don't forget to keep enjoying the simple things too!
