Not many people know about this.<br /><br />So today on my day off, I went to Newington Bicycle. Being around lunch time, I decided to look to see what the food options were around there. I happened across a burger joint I don't remember seeing before called "Goldburger," located just a few steps from the bike shop. Now, I know that burgers aren't as healthy eating as what we're talking about here, but my experience there was so good that I just had to give them some props and try to spread the word. It's a local shop that's only been open a month. All the ingredients are local and handmade. Great care seems to gs into the food (I watched them hand-patty and weigh the meat as they were cooking), and the employees are really into trying to ask for suggestions. While I was eating, the owner/chef came out and asked each customer how everything was and how could they make it better. Heck, while I was waiting for my order, the chef came out and said I had been waiting too long (I wasn't) and gave me a grape soda on the house. Just a really good vibe all around...and the burger and fries I had was top notch. They've got specialty burgers, dogs, and sides, and all are customizable.<br /><br />And for you veggie people, they also have veggie burgers, so you can have a healthier option.<br /><br />The place has been getting <A HREF="http://www.yelp.com/biz/goldburgers-newington" REL="nofollow">great reviews on YELP</A> so far, and they have <A HREF="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Newington-CT/GoldBurgers/60697344742" REL="nofollow">a facebook page</A>, if you're on that.<br /><br />Just wanted to give those guys some love.

The reference you provide is a great one, I also use this (http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr/SeafoodWatch/web/sfw_factsheet.aspx) which has much of the same info in a bit difference format. I have yet to compare the info they provide against the other but Im sure they are on par. Many people (like myself) dont eat beef, pork, poultry, etc due to the horrible mass production practices that typify these industries but view seafood as a more sustainable alternative. These references show there are indeed some good choices, but like anything else it takes some education and a concerned mind to make the right choice. <br /><br />I like sardines for a post-ride protein boost. Plenty healthy populations of those little guys.Karmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00293205680039476494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580218268291985619.post-24365187618419915452009-04-28T09:21:00.000-04:002009-04-28T09:21:00.000-04:00This month's Harper's (the Judge Cofield one) make...This month's Harper's (the Judge Cofield one) makes Alaskan Salmon sound not at all sustainable.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629741034989840981noreply@blogger.com
