Dear Eliza,

Love,

Ellie

Happy Birthday Kurt!

Kurt and I found a new place to eat.

Slater's 50/50 "Burgers by Design". This place is no joke.

Slater's Vampire Dip:

Garlic, cheese & artichoke dip = amazing!

(I didn't take pictures there, these are ones I found on-line)

Then we got fries, fried pickles and fried artichoke with their sage mayo, bacon infused ketchup and a homemade mustard sauce. Kurt liked the pickles and I liked the artichokes and we both liked the fries.

Then Kurt ordered the 50/50 burger: Patty is 50 % beef 50% bacon, sunny side egg, avocado, jack cheese and a chipotle sauce. Delicious!
