Nothing says Love like a Cheeseburger

Happy Valentine's Day!  And, Happy birthday to Noelle!  Doug came home early from work to have dinner with us for Noelle's birthday and Valentine's Day.  We went out, which is always the best present for me.

Scratch Burger & Fries
Scratch Kitchen and Lounge, Oak Park, IL

I thought about taking a picture, but the lighting was really dark in there, so it wouldn't have worked well.

This is one of our favorite restaurants that just opened up a new location down the street from us.  They have good burgers and really good varieties of macaroni and cheese.

I had the Scratch Burger and fries.  The burger has lettuce, onion, truffled arugula, and blue cheese on a pretzel bun.  I also had a cinnamon Old Fashioned to drink.

Grades:

Megan - A (My burger was delicious and huge.  Fries are always good. The drink was great - Doug said it was the best Old Fashioned he's ever tried!)

Doug - A- (Doug built his own burger and had fries.)

Noelle - A (Noelle had classic macaroni and cheese and some of our fries.  She liked it all.  She kept asking for more fries and more ketchup [they have a fancy homemade looking ketchup].)
