Last week I got a craving for a hamburger. Not just any hamburger, but a GOOD hamburger. A juicy, beefy, yummy burger on a bun with stuff. “Stuff” was not well defined in my craving. It may have been lettuce and tomato, or maybe cheese and bacon, perhaps mushrooms, onions, or something unusual. You know, a good burger.
I got such a burger Saturday at Jerry’s Place in Hartwick, NY. Steven and I were in the midst of our adventures, which ranged among Richfield Springs, Cooperstown, Fly Creek, Burlington Flats, and points in between. At one point we were very hungry, and there was Jerry’s.
“It’s the place with all the lunch boxes,” Steven said. The walls are lined with vintage lunchboxes. The rest of the decor is pure Americana, including models of old cars and a statue of Elvis.
Steven ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger while I got and M.O.S., which had caramelized mushrooms and onions topped with Swiss cheese. Steven also got a chocolate shake, because he noticed that it was served in a mason jar. I got a bottle of water, because I feared dehydration.
We made our orders at the counter and were given a plastic magnetic letter to put on our table. It did not take long for someone to bring us our food. It was quite yummy. We could have gotten ice cream for dessert, but the burgers were pretty filling. We left feeling well-fueled for further adventures.

There’s a really good place near us called “the squeeze Inn” and it’s gotten great reviews and my husband keeps threatening to go there but never does!!! Somebody’s gotta kick him in the butt so we can try it out. I’m craving good burgers too!!! Glad you enjoyed your burgers now you’re making me hungry for one !
There’s just something about a hamburger. Sometimes nothing else will do. Yes, go to the Squeeze Inn! I think there used to be a place called that in Pennsylvania near where my sister lives. I’ll have to ask her.
We have a downtown place in our small town of Delaware, Ohio which is called, Hamburger Inn. It has tables out on the sidewalk, they make the best sliced potatoes, cheese dripping over sauteed onions on top. I like their hamburgers. There is another place called, Buns. It makes their own buns and breads. I like their sesame seed, sunflower seed bread. I also liked all the vintage lunch boxes in your place called, Jerry’s. I think New York knows how to make everything better! 🙂
Oh ain’t that the truth! About New York, I mean. Still, everywhere you go you may find some good stuff. Alas, I don’t get much chance to check other states out.
Those burgers sound just right, Cynthia, with good stuff.
I still had a craving for a burger last night when we were out with friends. Yet I got a shrimp taco and it was AWESOME! I must write a blog post about it.
A shrimp taco would make an awesome blog post if indeed it was an awesome meal, Cynthia. You see food, you eat it?
Oh I do. As one can tell by my big fat butt!
Haha. I bet you surely embellish the butt.
Oh well, perhaps a mite. But it ain’t small and that’s the truth!
