Paul’s: Da Burger Joint

 Where do you go when you’re craving food before hitting up Pomme Frites for fries?  Paul’s Place! 

 

Paul’s is very cramped inside with a lot of cheesy neon lights and random random kitschy items hanging about.  With its red and white plastic checker board tablecloths, there’s nothing fancy about this place. 

Each table is supplied with a whole bowl of half-dill pickles to munch on while watching the game or waiting for their orders.  Iordered the texas burger with a turkey patty and a fried egg on top.  I added tomatoes.  The burger had a good chunk of meat- half a pound’s worth supposedly!  The burger was a little more well done than I expected even though.  It didn’t seem to be the medium that I ordered.  In retrospect, I actually would’ve liked the burger more if the eye wasn’t fried all the way through, but the yoke was left a bit gooey and it spilled into the burger and moistened the meat.  That sounds fun, no?  

I also got a classic ice cream float- coke with vanilla aka a “burnt cow.”  I have friends who are all about the sprite and ice cream- but I like the classic better.  It’d be even more enticing if it was Pepsi instead of Coke, but I’m not complaining.

I say that this place is just a basic run-of-the-mill burger joint.  It’s just a small neighborhood-y place to grab a bite to eat or to get some take-out.  This place will definitely satisfy a burger craving, but it’s not one of those knock-your-socks-off hole-in-the-wall joints.
