Childhood Burger (Sort Of)

Every once in a while I get a craving for a throwback burger of the kind I used to eat as a kid, with lettuce, mayo, Tillamook cheddar, and Bull's Eye BBQ sauce. Fries and ketchup on the side.

I made one last night.

The three differences? 

- I used a bison patty from Beck & Bulow. Childhood burgers at home were always, 100% of the time, an extra-lean patty from Taylor's. I did not begin eating bison until the age of 19. 

- This ketchup was Bloody Mary ketchup. I did not eat Bloody Mary ketchup as a kid. It was almost always Heinz. 

- There was no dog in the background when I was a kid. My parents had a dog named Tiffany who died when I was three, but refused to get another. My brother and I desperately wanted one, we begged over and over again, but my parents forbid it.
