#smitty's

'Tis I, Juliet, and I am going to go to Smitty's. Yes, Smitty's. The one with the funny red 'S' logo.

Ne'er have I been to Smitty's! Nor do I want to! But alas, my lady (my mother) demands it must be so. I'll do my best to beg for Tybalt to come along as well, but.... Thou knowest how that goes. The Bostonian Pizza incident shall not be forgotten.

Grilled Jalapeno Bacon Burger, Sweet Potato Fries. Smitty’s Garage. Fayetteville, Arkansas. 12.8.2020.

NOTE TO SELF: Not a bad burger, but a thicker patty wouldn’t hurt them. Sweet potatoes were way better than the garlic parm truffle fries I got last time. 

Mushroom Swiss Burger, Garlic Parm Truffle Fries. Smitty’s Garage. Fayetteville, Arkansas. 5.16.2019

NOTE TO SELF: Not impressed. The fries were overfried and the garlic was overwhelming. They came recommended by the dude working the till. The burger was okay, but nothing special.

Went to Smitty’s for breakfast, and heard they had special “pumpkin pancakes”.  I was intrigued, so I ordered them, and asked for the “cream cheese drizzle” that was being offered on other limited-time specialty pancakes.

I was extremely disappointed. 

The “pumpkin pancakes” contained no actual pumpkin, though it seemed that someone had sneezed some “pumpkin pie spice” over the batter at some point.  

The cream cheese drizzle wasn’t well-mixed (lumps of powder), and the mild warmth of the pancakes melted it into tangy but unappetising translucent white goo--really not something I wanted on my breakfast.
