In 1983 an indoor theme park opened in Murray Utah. The 49th
Street Galleria had a bowling alley, a skating rink, mini-golf, an ice cream
parlor, a carousel, a small roller coaster and an arcade. Most of these were still
functioning nearly a decade later when I visited with my two small nephews. In
addition to the rides and games, I treated them to burgers for lunch. They were
the best you can find this side of your own backyard: grilled instead of fried,
on a toasted bun with cheddar cheese, crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes and thin
sweet onion slices. One of the boys lifted his top bun and wailed, “What’s this
SALAD?” His brother chimed in with, “This is the stupidest burger I ever saw!”
Ever since then we’ve called burgers with the works “stupid burgers,” to remind
me of the day I should have taken the kids to McDonald’s.
