Short Stop BBQ

"So Timothy, what is your favorite food?"
"Sandwiches." 
"Well... what is your favorite sandwich then?"

Well aren't you clever. You think because I answered your broad question with a versatile answer that you can corner me into picking a favorite food within the category of sandwiches. Too bad for you my favorite sandwich is hamburgers. And while your pedestrian concept of a hamburger is limited to the overrated fast-food grease-ball (e.g. In-N-Out, Five Guys, Carls Jr., Etc), what you fail to realize is that the hamburger is an utterly vast and plentiful cornucopia of meat between bread. What kind of meat do you want, beef? lamb? bison? Do you want cheese? Do you want something absurd like bone-marrow butter? All this exists within the framework of hamburger.

What you see above is a Bar-Be-Que hamburger from Short Stop BBQ. That's right. Bar-Be-Que. Slow smoked Angus beef, topped with devilishly think BBQ pork belly and smothered in an equally delightful sticky smokey sauce of the Gods, all between a magnificent brioche bun. Oh yeah, there's a coleslaw too.
