So, we packed up the GMC and headed north to move the youngest into the Oppenheimer Dorm at BGSU.
Okay, fine, it's Offenhauer, but my wallet definitely feels like a nuclear bomb went off.
After a chaotic day of hauling boxes, avoiding the massive herds of people, and casually checking out the dead people buried literally right in the middle of campus (seriously, what a vibe ), we worked up a serious appetite.
Decided to hit up a locally owned joint:
Beckett's Burger Bar downtown on Main Street.
Right off the bat, I noticed something shocking.
The windows were actually clean.
Now, I know this is minor, but a bar with clean windows is like a politician keeping a promise--extremely rare, but you gotta respect it when you see it.
Because it was move-in day, the place was packed.
We gave them our number and parked it on a bench out on Main Street for some elite people-watching. #Score
Honestly, observing college kids with their #LowKey main character energy is top-tier entertainment.
The conservative in me wanted to yell at them to get off my lawn and get a job, but my liberal vein was like, "Wow, look at all this diverse self-expression, let them live their truth."
Either way, it was a solid wait.
Finally got a seat. The place was happening. And by happening, I mean the music was blasting, everyone was trying to scream over it, and the liquor was flowing--making the screaming even louder.
Look, I'll own it: I am just old and white. #Guilty.
The menu is legit. Tons of choices.
They even had a deviled egg appetizer!
I was totally down to try it, but my family overruled me for cheese sticks. We all know who makes the rules here!
Seriously? Cheese sticks? #Boring My family is basic, no cap, but in the good way
Most of the crew got standard hamburgers, but as the minority here, I had to venture out.
I ordered the MAC & CHUNKS. (A bed of house-made mac & cheese, topped with fried jalapeños, bacon & white queso cheese, plus chicken chunks dipped in BBQ. 1/2 lb for $14.49.)
Listen to me. The mac was cooked perfectly (al dente, for you fancy folks). The fried jalapeños brought the heat, the queso brought the creamy, and that BBQ tang tied it all together.
This dish slapped.
Seriously, it was so good it almost made me want to support a wealth tax. #Not
Almost. It was ridiculously filling and absolutely bussin. #ISeeYou
Highly recommend!
4 out of 5 BaldHeads!
Clean
Good food
Not unbearable prices
Lost a head because I'm getting older, I need my peace, and loud screaming environments trigger my inner grumpy old man.
If you're in Bowling Green, it's worth a stop.
