Go for the burger and fries!
A couple of weeks ago a frequent visitor to my blog, Chelsea, tipped me off to the veggie burger at Voleur. I used to work close to Voleur and always wondered what it was like and after her suggestion I made plans to try the burger and followed it by one of the best movies I have ever seen, No Country For Old Men.
Voleur is a low profile bar just a couple blocks off the main downtown night scene. It seems to be popular for large crowds as the loft was reserved for a private party and corner table comfortably seated 20 people, as a result, the service for smaller parties is somewhat disjointed, but not unbearable. To kick things off we ordered fries, which was an excellent second choice since the broken blender prevented hummus production. My main dish, my one and only choice and the reason I came, was the burger. According to the waiter it was a special version of the “Gardenburger” that contained no diary or eggs. It arrived loaded with fresh vegetables, a side salad, and kept me satiated throughout the movie.
That veggie burger looks great! (Also, I loved “No Country for Old Men,” too. It was one of those movies where I didn’t know exactly how I felt about it when it was over, but I am still thinking about it two months later. Really great story-telling!)
Your blog is great! I like your post on “Skinny Bitch” down below… I keep meaning to read that, but just haven’t gotten to it yet!
Hey Jessica - Thanks for the feedback! After No Country my bf and I searched the internet for different interpretations of the movie, there were quite a few interesting ones!
Glad you liked it! Now I’m craving happy hour…
I only wish I could make it there for HH! My work schedule doesn’t allow for that.
