Burgers–NO WAY?– YES WAY

If French Fries are not French, burgers aren’t either. Proof is: you cannot find any good burgers in the country of  “Savoir Vivre” et “l’Amour”.

My First Good Burger — Yumm!

Years ago — like a real long time ago — I was touring in California and took the boat from San Francisco to Sausalito… Ah, that was really nice trip by boat.
Arrived at lunch time, my nose started to thrill as I was walking on Bridgeway. This joint right on the street was grilling juicy, nice, thick – just rigth thick – patties… I ordered a burger and, since this blessed day, I test – and taste – all the possible burgers…

M&O Station Grill: A drooling shock!

After visiting new galleries, my friend Cecil Touchon - no, he’s not French either…- started to look for a place to eat. No, to have an experience rather than just feeling up our stomach. All started with the smell… Mmmmmm…. it was the prelude to wonderful time. While waiting for my order – “The California” (in memoriam) –  I started to look around. And, being from France, this place gave me the feeling to be projected into a movie. Just a great Americana Diner kind of place. Event the restooms look cool! Seriously. And the chef takes time to toast your buns… and to REALLY cut potatoes to make you  French Fries, or sweet potatoes. You get the point:
- the owners, Dany and Rosa Badillo, aim for quality.

No wonder the place started to be packed as we stepped out to enjoy our burgers on the patio. Because they also have a patio.

Why M&O?

That’s “M” for Marvin and “O” for Obie as in the Leonard brothers, well known for that Fort Worth icon, Leonard’s Department Store. The restaurant adjoins the Leonard’s Department Store Museum. Inside the restaurant a door will take you to Fort Worth History. Dany very kindly took me into the Leonard’s Museum and, like a kid, I listened to him telling the Fort Worth History. It’s from Dany that I learned Fort Worth had a metro before. Pictures are inside the museum… and the tools used at the time. Not just a lunch, but an experience beyond what we where looking for. Before Cecil and I left the place, we get a warm double chocolate brownie… just for the road

Because, I will tell you folks, when it’s good, you do not feel “full” – is that a great feeling by the way? – you are satisfied… happy… a smile on your face. Rosa and Daniel can give you this type of feeling. And, if you go there on my behalf, Rosa will tell you why the French Fries… are not French.
