About a month ago, my sister Cami posted about her intense craving for pastrami burgers. She wrote, "Is it really too much to ask? I just want a big fat burger piled high on top with more pastrami than you can fit in your mouth at one time. Oh, and I want to dip it in REAL fry sauce. Got that?"

Out and about, Jonny and I were hungry for something warm and substantial. We opted against Olive Garden-though we had a gift card. We needed some fries. Then Jonny suggested somewhere I would hardly think of going: Apollo Burger. I know their burgers are good, but I usually think more along the lines of salads or wraps for lunch. Not today. We went all out with fries, drinks, burgers, and plenty of ketchup, mustard, and fry sauce. With each bite, I was in grease heaven. I rarely order a burger, so when I do it better be good. And this pastrami burger was soooooo good. Sorry Cam, I hate to rub it in. But it was the best think I have eaten since the nachos Em made last Friday. Sorry you weren't here - I'm sure I could've spared a bite for you. Well, maybe.
P.S. I never knew there were so many choices at Apollo Burger. I was torn - Should I get a Reuben, patty melt, Philly cheese steak, the classic Apollo Burger, or any of the other sandwiches that sounded amazing? Obviously, I went with the burger, but it was a toughy. Has anyone had anything else there that is blogworthy? Next time I have a craving of this nature, maybe I'll try something else. But that burger was soooo good. (Yes, it deserves all the o's again.) I only want to invest in the calories of another menu item if it will be that delicious.

Oh how sad for me. Where did you get that picture?? I looked all over. Anywho, I have tried to talk myself into getting something else there, but I always get the pastrami nonetheless. Too good.
Where is the closest apollo? I do love a good burger. And, I agree, if you are going to invest a days worth of calories, it better be a good thing!
I feel silly that you keep comparing things to the nachos because they could've been so much better. Someday, I'll show you how they are really done and then you will have something to compare. I looooooooove pastrami burgers, too. I am jealous.
I think I did get the pattie melt there now that you mention it. I'm sure it was good, but they are most famous for the burgers!
