Day 10
Somehow waking up before noon we set out across across swamps and bayous for Texas. Louis, still being drunk, surrendered the wheel to me. Wanting to experience what life was like if our forebears had been shipped off to Cajun country instead of staying in Canada, we stopped in Lafayette for a lazy Sunday afternoon. We picked ourselves up three pounds of crayfish and sat down in the local square while the band played "Proud Mary". It seems every way we turned, once we arrived in Tennessee, we were surrounded by live music, Starting to recover from the night before we set out West.
We entered Texas on the day before the Super Bowl and felt that it would be cool to head through Houston. If you have not been through Houston, you won't see much from the freeway, it's kind of a concrete spaghetti pile. Hungover, and running on fumes heading towards our destination. All we could do, as far as exploring was concerned, was park outside of McDonald's in order to steal wi-fi and locate Houston's entry for the Great American Chee'Burg. (I'll take this moment to recognize McDonald's for its greatest contribution to the search for the best burger, free, unsecured wi-fi).
We settled on Bernie's Burger Bus. The name conjured up images of some greasy bastard, hawking delicious burgs out of the back of a big yellow bus. We ended up in the suburb of Katy, in some posh commercial complex. All their burgers are school themed, I ordered The Principal.
Review
Fresh lettuce, some nice, thin, red onions, pickles, and some goddamn delicious roasted tomatoes. Why is there ketchup on this!? They've got roasted tomatoes, succulent, fresh, delicious, and what do they cover it with? Ketchup!!!

Review
Bun:
They're working with a brioche, it's a little on the dry and mealy side.
Patty:
Ordered medium, came well done and with zero char. Dry.
Cheese:
It's in there somewhere, I'll be damned if you can taste it, though.
Sauce:
Mayo, mustard, and ketchup. The ketchup is sweet and overpowering, as ketchup tends to do.
Veggies:
Fresh lettuce, some nice, thin, red onions, pickles, and some goddamn delicious roasted tomatoes. Why is there ketchup on this!? They've got roasted tomatoes, succulent, fresh, delicious, and what do they cover it with? Ketchup!!!Other:
I ordered their brisket poutine. The fries were soggy shite, the cheddar cheese curds were huge and not very good, the gravy was lukewarm. I will admit, the brisket was pretty good.
Rating 5/10
Pull the ketchup off of this and it's and easy 7, with it on, it smothers all the flavour. Also, Texas, don't mess with poutine.
