Sign Said Freshness Burger
That sounded kind of silly, to me but, I looked at a menu in the window.
The promise, I made to the gal in the Orion Beer restaurant, got broken, right then.
She was nice enough to let me take some photos so, I told her, I'd be back for lunch. Liar !
Welcome to Freshness Burger
Once, I saw the advertisement for a Wagyu Burger, the Orion Beer girl was history.
Wagyu beef is supposed to be some of most expensive and delicious cow meat in the world.
When I saw the price, advertised on a poster, I knew I had to give it a try.
Heck, if you didn't order anything but the hamburger, it cost less than 10 bucks !
Quiet Uncrowded Atmosphere
When Doc Graff and I, walked in to the place, the population doubled.
We placed our orders and, asked if photography was allowed.
The hamburgers are hand made and, it's not a fast food joint so, we had to wait awhile.
It's fun, to go poking around with the camera, when the place is almost empty.
The was no need to worry about anybody, moving and ruining my shots, in the low light.
Somebody decorated the place with Norman Rockwell paintings.
He painted scenes of American life, to show the world, as he saw it, through his eyes.
The only art, on the walls of this establishment, were all works of Norman Rockwell.
It was sort of like being in some American history museum. But, I only snitched this photo.
Food Began to Arrive
First the fries, which are grown way up in Hokkaido, showed up at the table.
These things were yummy and, came out piping hot.
Don't ask me, why Japanese people eat their hamburgers, wrapped in wax paper.
They say "In Rome, do what the Romans do." So I pretended to be Japanese.
In ten or fifteen minutes, I woofed everything down and, used about a dozen napkins.
Somehow, when I eat stuff like this, food, grease and cheese, runs down my beard.
Next time, I'll remember, to bring my own fork and knife.
It was a decent meal. All the vegetables were fresh and tasty. I'd rather eat it off a plate.
There was so much food, I didn't even think of asking for second helpings or, desert.
Will I Ever Go to Eat in Kitanakagusuku Again ?
Now that I'm back in the office and, my research is done, I've been thinking.
A food dude from the UK, named Harry Wallop, did a review on Wagyu hamburgers.
He says, they stick breadcrumbs in the beef, to bring down the cost. Hah !
So, next thing, I did was checkout the Freshness website and, learned something.
All the vegetables are grown on Freshness farms sites.
They get the safe and fresh beef patties, from Australia !
Here's a Freshness Burger Menu in Japanese and English if, you want to try some.
Feeling a little bit guilty, about that pretty Orion Beer gal, I left behind, I'll go back.
And, just tell her, "I said I'd be back for lunch. But, I didn't say, what day."
"So, here I am. Please, show me the menu!"
