Our Highest Rated Burger
Last night we found ourselves too tired and hungry to bother to make dinner, so we took a jaunt across town so that I could try Pooky's discovery called Uncle Dick's Burger at Country Cousin. He had tried it just a few days before and raved about how delicious it was.
Country Cousin in Centralia is a highly popular restaurant among the locals and I-5 travellers. Uncle Dick's burger is a specialty containing two patties, slice of ham, slice of cheese, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and mayo, with a soft roll for a bun. It comes with fries all for $8.95. I suggest adding a side salad with their 1000 Island dressing, or try their soup of the day.

Is that what I think it is?
Pooky and I took a drive out to the coast at the end of June and drove through Aberdeen, Washington. We came to a stop at an intersection and I saw this indeterminable 'thing' atop a small building. Was it a giant tongue? Possibly a penis?
With fast thinking we drove over to the building to see what it was. We wound up eating lunch and if you haven't guessed by now, since this blog is about cheeseburgers, we discovered a highly unique steakburger at Aberdeen's World Famous Dog House.

Kidd Valley
If you're ever in the Seattle metro area, be sure to stop by Kidd Valley and try them out. Their fried mushrooms are excellent! I enjoy them with a side of ranch sauce. Pooky loves their burgers and always wants to eat there if we're close to one.
They also have good milkshakes and other interesting menu items. We've always had a good meal when we've eaten there.

A Difference in Opinion
Last night Pooky and I ate at the Olympic Club, a trendy, popular hang-out for local Centralian denizens and tourists. We decided to have dinner before we caught the movie.
One nifty thing about the Olympic Club is that you can also order from the menu and eat during the movie, sit on couches and soft chairs. Most shows are 21 and over since they serve alcohol, too. So the theater is a popular spot for adults. Some movies children are permitted—usually the earlier shows. At $3 a person to watch a second-run movie, you can't go wrong.
This is the first time that Pooky and I had a highly different dining experience. Our scores and thoughts on their cheeseburger are in stark contrast. We do agree on their fried accompaniments, such as their fries and tater tots. Best to go with the salad or the soup of the day.
Their Ruby ale is very good, too, but since I can't drink alcohol anymore, I do lament not being able to have a pint. Excellent ale! Be sure to have a slice of the raspberry cheesecake. Very yummy!
