Somehow we missed this last year but since we arrived we seem to be constantly hearing about this famous burger restaurant in downtown Palm Springs. We went for a stroll in downtown yesterday and ended up here for lunch. Now we know why it's the talk of the town! We will definitely be taking Richard there for lunch when he comes to visit next weekend.
We each had a fabulous gourmet burger washed down with a bottle of amazingly good cab for $14. Jim had the Baja...jalapeno peppers, grilled onions, pepper jack cheese and bacon on a cheese bun. I had the Shroom....mushrooms, crispy onion rings, bacon, crumbled blue cheese and aioli dressing. We had a table outside and a few drops of rain sprinkled us then the sun reappeared for the rest of the afternoon. I can see how their yearly rainfall here is less than 8 inches.
In the evening, just before 6pm so we got the matinee rate of $1.50, we took in the movie The Departed. It was quite good...certainly an all star cast. This movie theatre is amazing in their prices. They have 10 movies (many still in the theatres)
for the matinee price of 1.50 (up from a buck last year) and 2.50 for after 6pm. Casino Royale is coming next week and there are others we want to see.
Jim is out playing an Arnold Palmer managed golf course on a twilight rate (after 2pm) of $25 including electric cart. Quite a deal and it looked like a great course when we dropped by yesterday.
