When I finally get around to opening my burger joint, it’ll have all the regular side-dishes you’d expect — french fries (couple styles), tater tots, onion rings, etc. It’ll also have this macaroni salad that I’ve been eating since I was a tiny little boy.

#Burgerfail
I figure since I’ve posted so often over the years about all the great burgers I’ve made, I should post when I screw it up, too.
