Ode to $2 Burger Mondays

Two-dollar Monday night burgers, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways:

Your convenience and efficiency are the perfect ending to an otherwise plodding and difficult day.
I never tire of your sides -- regular fries, sweets, Tater Tots, even salad, you always know what I want.
Bun-free, you are a low-carb dieter's delight.
For just three shiny quarters, you gussy yourself up with succulent grilled onions or mushrooms, decadent bacon, or luscious cheddar, swiss, provolone or bleu.
Beer never tastes as good without you.
You are the ultimate cheap date.

p.s. I can't wait to see you tonight at Waterhouse. Where can we meet up next week?
