A couple of weeks ago I went to dinner at Rare, a restaurant at the base of the Shelbourne Hotel here in midtown. 'Twas a delightful dinner of belgian fries, sweet potato sticks a delicious house salad and quite possibly the tallest burger I have ever laid my brown-hued cow eyes on.

I mean seriously, they couldn't even use one of those over sized toothpicks to hold it together. I had to stand up and pull the flagpole out of the burger then quickly catch it using my right elbow and left knee to make sure it didn't topple and crush my dinner companion. If you look carefully to the right you'll see a somewhat normal sized ground-beef sandwich, I mean burger. Mine of course, stood there in an almost comical stature of 12 feet 16 inches.

All that said, it was a delicious dinner but that's probably the last time I'll ever take on a place wheren $86 tab can be rung up over burgers. No mas.
