We styled on down to Galveston for a day enjoying the surf. My little chi-dog (the cutest, most gorgeous baboo in the universe) likes to sit in the back of the Explorer & bark at the seagulls.
We enjoyed the day for quite a while. If you haven't been to Galveston since Hurricane Ike,
be advised that the island is still rebuilding itself. There is destruction everywhere. But there
are plenty of businesses picking themselves up & moving on. We went to the Pocket Park which
was clean enough. But obviously, there are no facilities. So ya gotta keep your beverage intake
to a minimum. (No place to pee)
It was getting close to lunch time, so we googled on my friends high-tech phone to find a place to
eat. We decided on a place with good reviews called Cafe Michael Burger. We agreed that we would lounge around a bit more before we headed out to find the restaurant.
Well, as fate would have it...my friend's irritable bowel picked that exact time to start acting up.
She had to poo like a mo-fo. I thought she was gonna soil her pants before I could get the doors
closed on the Ford and drive outta there. She was cursing and praying and squirming on the seat. We were definitely in a 911 situation. Her exact words were "We don't have time to find
the damn restaurant, just find me somewhere to shit before I shit my pants". Well, that kind
of sealed the deal. We would pull into the VERY FIRST place we saw.
The funny part is...(other than my friend making s'mores in her granny panties) was that
as soon as we drove onto the highway, the very first place we saw was CAFE MICHAEL BURGER. How bizarre. And how lucky. It was such a critical situation that I didn't even have
time to park...I had to drop her at the door before she dropped her load.
Once her issue was resolved (how in the hell does she think that Galveston can recover from
THAT so closely after Ike) we ordered a couple of burgers and and ate our lunch (she obviously
needed a deposit after her recent withdrawal). I got a burger with guacamole. Her's had bacon.
Both of them were absolutely fabulous. The meat was tasty. The vegetables were fresh. The price was a little steep at $6 each WITHOUT fries. They don't have fries. They had something called German Fries which turned out to be very delicious. They were cubed potatoes that had
smokey seasoning to them.
If you don't mind paying for the quality...head on over to MICHAELS. You won't be sorry.
p.s. That's kind of a stupid name...Cafe Michael Burger....WTF?
p.s.s. My friend liked the restroom...AND THE BURGER
