SoCo: hopdoddy

It's quite simple:
I love date night. 
I love hopdoddy.
The end.

OK...  I'll elaborate a little.  hopdoddy is a magical burger bar located on South Congress.  They grind their own meat, offer fish and veggie patty options, bake their buns from scratch, handcut the fries and use fresh & organic produce.  Not convinced yet?  They also have a wonderful beer selection and their cocktails are made from fresh squeezed juice + hand-made syrups.  Alcohol not your thang?  How about a milkshake - maybe a salted caramel milkshake?!?! (you can still spike your milkshake if you like)  If your mouth isn't watering yet, I think there's something wrong with you...

St. Arnold Lawnmower

Hey Neighbor: vodka + organic veggie juices + spices + roasted garlic + fresh lime juice

fresh ground Black Angus beef patty + pepper jack cheese + roasted poblano chiles and onions + apple-smoked bacon + sliced jalapenos & habaneros + "sassy sauce" | handcut kennebec fries

bison patty + Maytag blue cheese + Frank's RedHot sauce + apple-smoked bacon + "sassy sauce" | handcut kennebec fries

When I know I'm going to eat a hearty, messy meal I focus on comfort rather than style.  Lionel talked me out of stretchy pants, so I opted for relaxed shorts and a loose fitting tank.  Yes, I understand the tank top is a bit see through.  I could lie and tell you I planned it for the sake of fashion, but the truth is I didn't really care because I just wanted my effin burger.  Plus, I didn't think my outfit would really attract attention on SoCo (hippies, hipsters and tourists - oh my!).

This is what I felt like after dinner...

It's been awhile since we walked around South Congress, so we decided to take in the sights after dinner - and try to walk off some calories.


I call the following pictures my attempt at being "artsy..."

Um, we need to have one of those here. A spiked salted caramel shake?! What could possibly be better than that?!

You look adorable, I hope you had a fabulous time!

Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet

Thanks, Melissa! :) I didn't try the milkshake because I felt like I maxed out on my fatty food intake, but it's on my "to try" list!! I'll let you know how awesome it is

I need to go back to Hopdoddy - it has been much too long!
