Week: Thur. December 15th
The past couple of weeks I’ve been inundated with email requests seeking good food in, or near, our many area malls. Well, you’re more likely to discover a McDonald’s serving foie gras before finding edible food in any of our mainstream malls. These places commonly attract the typical bottom feeders of the industry – chain restaurants and Tom Catherall.
So what about those of us who’d rather not be in the vicinity of anything remotely resembling a mall? Those of us who prefer to stay far away from all that depressing and over commercialized Christmas cheer. A good safe distance from those annually crazed psychopaths fashionably adorned with elbow pads.
What about us who really don’t give a crap what percentage of the mall parking lot is full?
If you are like me, then grabbing your firearm and heading over the tracks and through the projects to Ann’s Snack Bar should set you in the holiday spirit. Miss Ann’s dumpy eight-seat grease shack on Memorial Dr. claims to be “home of the world famous Ghetto Burger.”
While I’m not so sure about the world famous stuff – the ghetto it certainly is – trust me.
If that menacing thug with the cornrows sitting next to you looks as if he’s about to place a blade to your throat and steal your wallet, don't worry, he’s most likely less hostile than those Betties you'll encounter at the mall.

You see, Miss Ann enforces rules in her establishment and her patrons are usually on their best behavior. And now that I think about it, these are the most cordial people I’ve been around since before the holiday season officially kicked off.
When glancing through your options look no further than that Ghetto Burger. Two colossal patties slathered with onions, deep-fried bacon, beefy chili and cheese.
Or you might want to consider the Hood Burger – two monstrous patties topped with bacon and slaw.
Either way – clear the couch – you’ll be laid out for the remainder of the day. But do know, it’s really no worse than the aftermath of being on the receiving end of one those flying elbows down at the local mall.
