One more post about our weekend out of town, then it is back to the Mohawk Valley. One place we always try to go when we visit Steven’s family is the Burger Den Restaurant, Rt 22, Cambridge, NY. We went there for lunch on Saturday with two of his sisters and one niece.
They have renovated the place since we were there last. They now offer outdoor seating. It was too hot on Saturday to take advantage of that, but perhaps if we return in the fall. I do enjoy to dine al fresco. The air conditioning inside was very welcome.
As we sat waiting for our food, one of the doors to the porch opened then closed. It is not so disconcerting for a door to blow open, but when it stays open for only a few seconds then closes, it looks as if something unseen has entered or exited.
“There’s a ghost!” I said.
Apparently this happens frequently, and it happened a few more times while we were there. I don’t think any ghost hunters or psychics have checked it out. But it added a little adventure to our meal.
I ordered Eggplant French Fries. I often get Sweet Potato Fries when they are available, but the Burger Den is the only place I have ever seen Eggplant Fries on the menu. I got ranch dressing to dip them in, and filled out my meal with a 12″ Hot Dog. Steven got a Chicken Salad Sandwich and Small Macaroni Salad. His sandwich was nicely thick, and the small salad was generous.
The Burger Den serves breakfast all day, but no one at our table took advantage of that. I surreptitiously peeked at what other tables were ordering, getting ideas for next time.
This was the only meal out we enjoyed last weekend. The next time I venture out of the Mohawk Valley I hope to entertain you with other culinary adventures.
