Light Refreshments Served

I know, TWO “projects” in one week? It’s just your lucky day.

We went to EZ Burger right before my family and I went on our vacation and it seemed to be a busy week for everyone so people came and went, but several points stick out in my mind. First of all, EZ Burger is similar to In N Out Burger found all over California and Arizona. There’s no denying the similarities in decor and menu, but I trust their lawyers have found them. The second thing are the fries, which are skinny and light, just like I like ‘em (and In N Out doesn’t have fry sauce, so Utah’s “representing,” as the kids say.) Jenny ordered her fries “wild style” with sauteed onions, cheese, and special sauce. Yes, I’ll be ordering that next time. And, thirdly, it was really clean. And I hope you know how important that is to me.

People with style and class frequent EZ Burger.

Banished to the kids table (who’s watching those kids?!). . .

Fries, nice, hamburger patties, a little small (but tasty!)

The drinks are nice and big.

Well, there’s this “Wi-Fi” stuff, if you like that, here, too. (Which, incidentally, my son Miles finds a way, nonchalantly, to bring up everyday. “Why don’t we have Wi-Fi? I’m just wondering. . .” “Um, do you know that if we had Wi-Fi, we could. . . ” or my favorite, “I’m saving up for Wi-Fi because it’s, like, so weird we don’t have it, and one day I’ll tell my kids we didn’t have it and they’ll think that’s so bizarre!” Oh, kids today and they’re Wi-Fi! We have a toaster, what more does he want!?)

Jenny (Celebrity Specialist): E-Z burgers is a gathering point for the likes of Sam Elliott, Cher, Burt Reynolds, Aaron Eckhart, Tom Cruise, or anyone else who likes to ride motorcycles, or has a particular affinity for All Things Route 66. And, yes, that IS John Candy in the corner — he just Took The Challenge to get his polaroid on the wall . . . you can do that, too, if you’re excited about eating 25 burgers in 40 minutes.

Carina (International Liason): When internationals thing of burgers and fries, EZ burger is exactly what we think about: California, plastic surfaces, tile designs, no-nonsense fries and burgers. Everything was a little small, but that’s how we Europeans do things. EZ Burger is the Smart Car of The Project.

This is what sticks out the most in my mind about EZ Burger: Being there with my kids who were “on one” and kept climbing over everything and sitting on each other. I guess I didn’t mind the sitting so much because then I knew they weren’t bothering anyone else. Just each other.
