The Best Burgers . . .
After our coffee this morning, we met Todd at the nearby McDonald’s at 11am to go over the job and the requirements. It was also kind of a ‘get to know each together’ for all of us. After about 90 minutes, we parted ways, taking our employment packets with us.
Our first stop was a nearby carwash to try and get some of the mud off the truck. It was a so-so job and got about 90% of it off, but I’ll probably need to redo it with my pressure washer to finish up.
Todd had recommended RJ’s Burgers in downtown Kenedy. It’s often said that the best burgers are found in dumpy-looking places.
For example, here is Stomp’s down in Kemah, TX, with our favorite burgers in the Clear Lake area.
And then there’s Coyote Bluff in Amarillo, also at the top of our Best Burgers List.
And now there’s a new entry on our list – RJ’s Burgers in Kenedy, TX.
Here’s Jan’s Cheddar Mushroom Burger.
These are large burgers on 5” buns, with hand-formed 8 oz burgers and hand-cut fries. And the scary part is that according to their menu, you can get this as a double, or even a TRIPLE! That’s a pound and a half of burger meat. WOW!
You’re getting into Heart Attack Grill territory with that one.
I got the Grilled Ribeye Sandwich, with an 8 oz Ribeye, charred around the edges and medium-rare inside. And like the fries, their onion rings are hand-sliced and battered.
And for a small place, they’ve got a pretty extensive menu.
If there’s a down side to the place, it’s that they’re only open from 10am to 3pm, Monday through Friday. Bummer!
Finishing up we headed over to the Karnes County Courthouse in Karnes City to get our DBA from the County Clerk’s office. But as it turns out, the courthouse is shut down for a complete rebuilding / remodeling and the courthouse offices are scattered all over town. We had to make 4 stops to complete the paperwork.
Finally finishing up and heading toward home, we took a detour out on FM-2102 to check out the location of the Marathon Oil Company facility in this area.
We have to take their Orientation class tomorrow, or wait until next Friday when it’s given again. Everyone has to take the class now before you can work at a Marathon site, another thing that’s changes since we last worked for them in 2012.
Getting back to the rig, I spent the rest of the evening fighting my way through the online Security Guard license stuff. Looks like we won’t have to redo the fingerprints again, so that’s good.
Tomorrow we’ll try to wrap the bank account stuff before we do the Marathon class.
Then it’s just wait and see.
Thought for the Day:
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have one idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. – George B. Shaw
