Our last evening in town and our big decision was where to eat. Daughter Jill and wife Karen are always searching for a good burger and Jill has heard of a place called Good Stuff Eatery. We venture out at rush hour (first bad decision). Decide to take taxi while city is half buried in snow (second bad decision). Get a too talkative cabdriver resulting in Jill melt-down and exiting cab well short ofdestination (not sure if decision was good or bad). Take metro for short distance and walk for several blocks on icy sidewalks. I was silently questioning the need for a hamburger throughout the entire trip but wanted to be a good dad so I put on a happy face.We finally arrive, step up to a counter, and place our order. I foolishly tried to eat healthy and ordered a mushroom burger while the girls were smart and ordered traditional burgers and fries and onion petals. We all had milk shakes. The mushroom burger was greasy and bland. The girls said the burgers were tender and juicy. Reminiscentof Lincoln NE "Fred Burgers". I recommend requesting no paper wrap on burgers.
If I have my way, our next visit to Good Stuff will be for milk shakes to-go.

p.s. (from Jill) the onion petals were a hit all around
p.p.s. Barack may like Ray's Hell Burger, but Michelle is all about the Good Stuff.
