点评:So just over two years after moving to Albuquerque, we finally got around to checking out the Cedar Crest locals favorite, Burger Boy.
What we didn't know was that for Veterans day, they were putting out a buffet free to all veterans and their spouses. Still, I wanted to try one of their famous green chile cheeseburgers and so ordered off the menu.... which the still wouldn't let me pay for.
The owners and staff were so warm and welcoming, and seemed so full of gratitude for our service even as I was full of gratitude for the free meal I didn't really feel like I deserved.
True to the reviews, the burgers and fries were outstanding, and we'll definitely be going back and supporting this wonderful small business that is truly a corners of the community.
We sat next to the most charming old gent, a man who served as a Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bomber radio/nav/ordinance operator in 1944-45. That's right, a rare, still living WWII Navy veteran. He was sharp, bright eyed, and delightfully personable. Even though I had done the math in my head, it was still a shock to confirm he was 96 years old! I'll be thrilled if I'm half that sharp (or even alive) at 76!
We left so uplifted and inspired. I might have even had a small tear of joy in my eye.
翻译:因此,在搬到阿尔伯克基两年多后,我们终于抽出时间去看看 Cedar Crest 当地人最喜欢的 Burger Boy。
我们不知道的是,在退伍军人节那天,他们为所有退伍军人及其配偶免费提供自助餐。尽管如此,我还是想尝试他们著名的绿色智利芝士汉堡之一,所以从菜单上点了菜……但他们仍然不让我付钱。
业主和工作人员非常热情好客,似乎对我们的服务充满感激之情,即使我对免费餐点充满感激之情,但我真的觉得自己不值得。
正如评论所说,汉堡和薯条非常出色,我们一定会回去支持这家真正成为社区角落的优秀小企业。
我们坐在最迷人的老绅士旁边,他在 1944-45 年担任格鲁曼 TBF 复仇者鱼雷轰炸机无线电/导航/条例操作员。没错,一位罕见的、仍然健在的二战海军老兵。他目光敏锐,目光炯炯,风度翩翩。虽然我已经在脑子里算过,但确认他已经 96 岁了还是很震惊!如果我在 76 岁时能有一半的机敏(甚至还活着),我会很高兴!
我们离开时如此振奋和鼓舞。我的眼里什至可能流下了喜悦的泪水。
