This past weekend we tried Stax Burger Bar. By the name I'm sure you can guess they serve a variety of burgers, with unique combinations and toppings. This place came quite HIGHLY recommended by a friend. So we had to give it a try.
I knew immediately, that I was going to get the Dark Chocolate Milkshake. What can I say, I often look at the dessert menu first. We don't keep this stuff in the house, so a treat now and then is on the list of things to do. Once I read it was made with Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream, I was completely sold! It came topped with burnt marshmallows. I wasn't crazy about the charred taste of the marshmalows but the milkshake made up for it. While I'm not sure I thought it tasted like dark chocolate, it had a good, rich chocolate flavor, which is exactly what I was looking for! Yum!
For my meal, I ordered the Lamb Burger it was topped with roasted red peppers, mushrooms, olive salad, mustard and rosemary dressing. It comes with 2 patties. Sounds like a lot but the patties were pretty thin, so not too overwhelming. I also always remove the top bun. I love lamb and thought it was pretty good.
To complement my burger I ordered hand-cut sweet potato fries. Tasty.
Now, to be sure I don't over do it when I eat out, I typically will only eat 1/2 of my meal and I will share a dessert. No appetizers. If I'm having dessert, I don't need an appetizer, as well. I cut my burger in half immediately, shared my milkshake with my husband, but I admit I ate the entire serving of sweet potato fries. Fries aren't the best when leftover. LOL! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Anyway, it was a nice treat but won't be on our list of places to frequent.
Today, I am glad to report, I had a wonderful weekend and I am down an additional 1.6 lbs.
Moderation and planning means you can still enjoy dining out and eating the foods you love!
Have a healthy "adventurous" day!
