Last Saturday, I accompanied Burger Buddy Noelle to Willie's. Willie's is connected to and owns Field House, popular with the Greek crowd and willing-to-pay-covers crowd. Did you know, because I didn't, that Willie's also owns LSD (the sandwich shop in East Campus), The Forge and Vine, and another Willie's location in Kansas?
Anyways, we went to watch the game where Mizzou last lost and I figured it was the perfect time to try that marinated burger. Everyone, I did it... and I was impressed. For $6.99, you can expect to receive a juicy, tangy marinated burger and a heaping side of cottage fries. The burger came with lettuce, a pickle slice and some red onion; I went with the lettuce and pickle slice for this baby. Alternating between ranch and ketchup, I made my way through each mouth-watering bite. And those fries! Those tiny, circular, crinkled discs of delectable deliciousness. Burger buddies and burger bystanders alike, I tell you, I almost cried at the Burger Beauty that took place there.
Cooked how I like, medium-well, flavorful juices and hand-picked accoutrements, I found a small slice of heaven that night. In the end, it didn't matter if Mizzou won or lost. It didn't matter that I had wasted the entire day and looked like a bum. The homework, the impending Sunday work shift, what movie to see that night, none of it mattered because that moment belonged solely to me and my burger.
Folks, if you want a straight-up burger done right without breaking the bank, Willie's Field House is the place to go.
5/5 sesame seeds (I'm thinking of making the scale out of 10 because if that were the case, I would likely say 9/10!)
