Burgers and being Blue not Green!
I must say I have not been a fan of the “Green” initiatives. Most were more about hype then actual performance and “Green” is more often associated with profit mongering things like carbon credits and other efforts that put as high a burden on the environment as the original effort.
Blue is what Green should have been and it is more about being blue sky and clean oceans. It is about living in concert with our environment and not about efforts that pay lip service to the environment while having as big an impact just more profitable for some and in a way that seemed green.
That being said be on the watch cause Blue is the start of something new and I hope better then Green.
Today I had lunch at O! Burger in West Hollywood. My wife has long disallowed my eating red meat out of the house for fear of what was in the meat (mad cow disease was the start of this rule).
As someone who used to have lunch every Sunday at the Apple Pan on Pico and was so well known there that the guys behind the counter put my order in even before I manage to get a seat at their busy counter, I truly missed my burgers.
So I was thrilled when my wife Suzanne found O! Burger and have been waiting for a weekend when we could try it out.
I must say I was thrilled with the quality of the food and the owner even came out to chat with my wife and kids. The classic O!burger was just that, classic in the way things used to be. Everything was organic and grown the way it was before modern times came along and messed up my ability to enjoy my burgers in peace with out my wife’s fear that the things in that burger were going to kill me.
At O!burger as the menu says If it’s edible, it’s organic. Their intent is to be as eco-friendly as possible. They use packaging that is made from renewable resources that are recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable. Even their cleaning products are green and non-toxic.
I look forward to getting over there more often and doing my part to be a bit more Blue while enjoying my burger habit in peace!
