Sometimes, I can be a sucker for “limited time only” products. I hate feeling like I’ve missed out on something that may never come back (even when it usually does come back at some point). I’ve gotten better at this, as most things always go on sale again and I really don’t even need half the things I want to begin with.
Food is a completely different story. If we’re on vacation and near a must-eat spot, Travis knows that we’re most likely going to eat it. I’m still sad we weren’t able to squeeze in a dessert trip to WD-50 when we were in New York. Or splurge for a meal at Alinea when we were in Chicago (granted, we weren’t really in the same financial situation then). I also enjoy seasonal food items – peppermint mochas at Starbucks, mint M&Ms, Cadbury mini eggs (those may be my weakness).
So, when I heard Smashburger was bringing the Windy City burger to San Diego, I was intrigued. When I found out it was only going to be here through October, I was very interested. And when I found out the darn thing is served on a pretzel bun, I started making plans to work in a burger dinner. Throw a limited-time banana shake in the mix and I’m a goner.
