It's clear that you love food almost as much as you love the beauty of words. Or, more precisely, you are enraptured, enthralled! What a beautiful ending. And, I can't wait to go there and eat that burger ... and more! Breathtaking description of a new discovery. It’s clear that you love food almost as much as you love the beauty of words.

I was reliving the Ahi dream today myself. Jonathan, great point! I went back a second time recently to determine just that. Of course, I will never again have that initial moment of complete shock, but the Ahi burger held up! This time, I complemented it with a chocolate shake and sweet potato fries. And a saffron snickerdoodle cookie from Blue Bottle Coffee Company ... but that's a whole other story. Sophia, the Zomppa editors will attest to the fact that my photography skills are sorely lacking. I tried but couldn't capture the "junjiness" of the burger ("junji" is a term I promise to explain in a post soon, but which sort of means a divine sort of yummy)--and so I gave up trying. You must forgive me. I, too, would want to have visual proof. Thanks, Peggy. I was reliving the Ahi dream today myself. Jonathan, great point!

I feel like I am sinking my teeth into a burger as well. But where's the picture? Perhaps you were too busy eating that delicious tuna burger! ;0) Ooh.
