Oh boy, we have a Zip's!

Thursday, November 20, 2008

My my, how far my hometown has come. We have managed to grow a Zip's on the corner overlooking the concrete river. A chain burger joint in Colfax? Never thought I'd seen the day--and boy it was a long time coming, I didn't think they were ever going to open!--but I'm darned grateful.

Granted, I can no longer partake of the buckets of potato gems or sample from the counterful of pumps offering diners their choice of tartar, fry sauce and ketchup. Sigh. I have to content myself with a $2.99 bacon cheeseburger sans bun. Hey, that's good enough. It's a decent price for a quick meal. Does it compare to Carl Jr's $4.66 low carb burger? Heck no. But it's also a mere five minutes from home and better on my budget, so I wouldn't say no to Zip's burger.

I hope someday the local joint sees fit to add breakfast to its repertoire. We need more options in the morning. But for the moment? I'm happy.

Go Zip's.
