Texas Hamburger Factory

There is this restaurant in Flowermound on FM407 called Texas Hamburger Factory. It's plain storefront building is quite deceiving, once inside it is obvious that they have probably sold thousands of burgers, deep-fried their share of catfish, chicken, and steaks, and made enough mexican entrees to satisfy most of North Texas. The atmosphere is humble, country, simple. The food is delicious. Large patties cooked over an open fire, heaped with grilled onions, cheddar cheese and barbecue sauce. French fried potatoes cooked with onions, and a 7 layer dip made with refried beans, quacamole, taco meat, queso, sour cream, jalepenos, and iced tea to wash it down with.

The best thing about the THF is that you can always go and no matter what you get, it is going to be really good. I have never had a better hamburger anywhere.

I went last night with Cody, Dumas, and David Lee and we, like always, had a great time. It's one of those places that has just become a standard, and as I get older, I really like the standards. I like being comfortable with the people I am with, the places I go to eat, and I find that I need variety, and change less and less- but that's another blog for another day- back to the THF.

At the THF you can always count on having a good time when you are with your buds. There is no shortage of laughter, food, or farkles(Paper, Rock, Scissors).

Later that night we set out for Marble Slab and instead found ourselves at Italy Ice- a gelato place with pricy ice cream that was worth every penny.

David Lee drove us in his new VW wagon, unfortunately those cars are just Volkswagen Jetta's with an elongated hatchback, and I barely fit in the front, I felt like a clown in one of those undersized clown cars- but at 6'5" 330, I feel that way in most normal-sized cars.


I drove back to Plano only to hear later that the traffic I got stuck in on my way to Lewsiville was caused by a loser who murdered his girlfriend by throwing her off of the George Bush turnpike and onto highway 75- an 85 foot drop, then he jumped off and killed himself. Very sad. What in the world would cause someone to do something so horrific? How bad does it have to get? What a horrible way to die.

Well, have a great weekend- sorry to end on such a depressing note.
